Christmas Double Days

Hello there my crafty friends!  This is the last Christmas double day of the year.  Would you believe that it isn't the last of the Christmas cards I made however!  I was seriously off in my estimation of when I needed to start doing double days so that I would finish up today!  I cannot tell you how many cards that I have left, but there is a short hiatus on the videos until after the first of the year so I thought I would just fill in with the remainder of the Christmas cards.  I was pretty right on the money last year but I had this same sort of scenario a couple of years ago, so, if you recall, you had several days of cards, cards and more cards!  Well, we are sort of in that boat again! LOL  However, for today, there are two cards with instructions for you.  The first card was started with the Snowflake Gemini die being cut from the bottom of a piece of coconut white card.  I used the decorative die from the Snowflake Filigree die to cut the design out of the top of the card twice.  I overlapped it slightly in the middle which meant it double cut there, but I used the Bold Snowflake frame cut in white to cover it.  I cut the Warmest Wishes die in aqua card twice and glued them together and seated them on a circle die in the middle of the snowflake frame.  I added a piece of aqua card as backing that I scored lines into so they showed from beneath the snowflake Gemini.  The card was completed with white and aqua mats.  The finished sizes are 6 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size.  Scroll down for card number two.

The second card uses the Ornate Holly Framed Noel die set.  I cut the outer die section in both black and white and used the white as an offset this time.  I backed it with the Bright Gold card stock and cut the centre out of it to create a frame.  I added mounting foam to the back to raise it.  I cut the inner die in milk card and backed it in black.  I cut the centre out and added a small piece of milk card that was embossed with the Star Swirls embossing folder behind it.  I cut the Noel in both Bright gold and black and added it to the centre.  I used the circle dies to cut a thin black frame to go around the sentiment.  I cut a larger piece of Bright Gold card and added sticky adhesive strips around the edges.  I peeled the backing off and covered them with Gold Micro Beads and seated the framed topper in the middle of them.  The card was completed with milk, bright gold, and black mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8" x  8" in size.  All for now, Sue x
