Hello there my crafty friends! Still more Christmas cards to share before the big day, so hoping you don't mind! This card was a demo that I had planned to do on Hochanda, but actually never had time for it. I started with a piece of coconut white card and cut an aperture in the top using the
Lace Snowflake Frame. I cut one of the
Snowflake Edgers on the bottom edge of the card. I cut a second edger and glued it to the card above it. I added a
string of white pearls as an accent to it (I had meant to add another strip of pearls to the bottom snowflake edger and realised that I was out of white ones, oh well!). I added mounting foam to the back of the background to raise it and attached it over a piece of
aqua card, which I had added a piece of
sticky adhesive sheet to the upper area. I recessed the snowflake down into the aperture, and added
Diamond Sprinkles to the remaining exposed adhesive areas. I cut the centre die in aqua card and added it to the centre of the aperture with foam. I cut the
Let it Snow Snowflake die in white and glued it atop the aqua card in the centre. I added two
white pearl corners to the top of the card and completed it with white and aqua mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous festive card Sue, it looks really classy! x
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. Absolutely gorgeous card. I love this snowflake die and the colours are beautifully thought out. Pale green and blue are my favourite colours anyway so it has to have my approval.
ReplyDeleteUp early this morning it is my line dance class Christmas party this afternoon. So much to do sorting Christmas music, all their cards. Pass the parcel Ohhh and we all have to take a little something to eat. You would think by the way this reads that it was for children.... Well I can tell you we are all over 60 and our oldest member is 93 ! ! !. And how well does she dance. I hope I am still dancing at that age.I am really looking forward to it. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteI just love the aqua with the coconut white. I think they look so elegant together.
Love, Nanny JooJoo from sunny Scunny xx
Morning Sue. Another Monday brings us another week closer to the 'big day' to think one day of fun and laughter started in April for you Sue, some started preparing in the summer and others still not prepared lol I'm towards the not prepared scale and now I've finished market for the year I can concentrate on a few cards that have been on hold for a while ! I think I'm just about thawed out after yesterday's waste of time and fuel, the weather was awful so the country park was not the place to spend your Sunday when you can stay snuggled up in a nice warm home, so we all suffered the freezing cold (even inside where I have my table was beyond ridiculous ) so those poor people outside must have been frozen to their bone marrow ! A few cards sold, a reduced fee for the table so I still came out on top - just about lol.
ReplyDeleteI think, no I know, I could look at your samples whether or not it 'twas the season' as they are all so pretty, but today's is just lush, the colour is another favourite, the dies are the ones that headed my list and still will before the next festive collection arrives so all in all its a beautiful start to my week, thank you.
Hope you had a lovely weekend however it was spent.
Love and hugs winging their way to you xxx

Well I have almost finished writing and getting ready for posting all my Christmas cards, I am always late so that is another resolution I will make for next year, 'be more organised'. I had loads of cards made but it is deciding who get's what and then what inserts they are going to have.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

I love the colour you have used with the white. It really adds to the snowy, icy theme. Love it! xxx
ReplyDeleteDear Sue and Friends,
ReplyDeleteIt's snowing beautiful cards! I love this one! Anything with the snowflake edger makes me melt, and how did you know that aqua and frost would work so well together?
Pam, you are so generous to bring one of your made-with-love Christmas cakes to the office. I would stand in line for just a taste. Poor Dave, he's probably lonely most of the day.
Thank you Marie from Longridge for introducing the idea of Crafty Santa, a concept that makes me happy. I believe in Crafty Santa! Until now I never understood why we needed sentiments that say Believe.
Rosemary, loved your beauty story.
Caring hugs to you, June Horrocks, and to everyone who is going through life events that trample on festive.
Love,
Donita
Such a pretty card - love the colours. Thank you Sue.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, beautiful card, love the two colours.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone, Jess xx
Chilly, cool and beautiful. Love the combination of the colors.
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card today. I love the colors but then I have never seen a Sue Wilson card that was not superior.
ReplyDeleteJune Smith, your post has me curious. Do you fix your cards and also a pile of inserts and then match them up for the individual recipients? I had never thought of doing that.
Donita, yes Crafty Santa is REAL.He already brought me a lovely gift certificate to buy Sue Wilson dies with. He knows what makes us happy.
Ann, you are having so much fun. I love it...your 93 year old friend dancing in your group. My Mom is 94 and she can barely walk now so she should have danced instead of golfed.
Everyone, have a good day. Christmas will be here in a week! Can't wait to see my daughter and son inlaw,

ReplyDeleteI have two more cards to make for friends that I shall meet up with for lunch on Friday then, at last it is all over for the year. I do have two on the side that are the beginnings of next year's collections so I can at least say that I have started preparing for 2018. Whether I keep it up is another matter!!!

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful snowflake card today using one of my favorite dies. The snowflake is so delicate and fragile looking, just like the real ones as they fall gently from the sky. The color combination is sort of frosty and icy looking and compliments the die cuts perfectly. I have made several cards this year using these dies. I have a large box of Christmas cards that I will be taking Johns Hopkins Hospital (my second home) to give out to the patients who don't receive many visitors over the holiday just so they know that they are not forgotten.
Have a nice day everyone.
Beverly
Certainly don’t mind Christmas cards Sue. Yours are always exceptionally beautiful.
ReplyDeleteAnnette c

Lovely card. In a fav colout. Love a sort of reversed l ayering look. Your snowflake edger die is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteFabulous card today. I love the aqua card - it's so fresh.
Sorry I've been missing for a couple of days, but had a dreadful migraine that really knocked me for six - I think it must have been those chocolate truffles that my friend made for me - oh they were delicious!
Pam, it was really kind of you to take one of your cakes yo work - I bet everyone loved it.
Sending love and hugs to you all, Alison xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and I love this colour combo every time. I love the snowflake edger too.
Bring all your Christmas cards on, as Sue I am going to make an early start in 2018, once my hands have healed. Missed doing my Christmas cards this year, and I simply adore Christmas.
Love and hugs to everyone, also healing rays to those that are missing or poorly.
Dorothy of Baldock.

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteAreally pretty card today! We have been spoiled with so many gorgeous Christmas Cards! I love seeing them and can never have too many. I make more cards at Christmas than I make at any other time of year.
Pam - hope everyone enjoyed their cake!
Beverly Fuchs - what a lovely thing to do! There are many lonely people for whom an act of kindness means such a lot .
Carmen - Dorothy , I understand how you feel! I love looking at snow but hate having to move around in it!
I, too, am very guilty of making a card/ cards but not doing the inserts! This then takes a lot of time afterwards! I am going to try not to do this next year, all being well!
Stephanie - yesterday we went to a Restaurant in Egerton, near Bolton and it was an awful day. Wet and cold! I did think that you were bound to be freezing and I know it isn’t good for you to get cold. Sorry your Market day wasn’t the best . Your Christmas Table sounds lovely!
Pat L - thank you!
Lots of love to everyone!
Especially those missing just now!
Myra ( Friend of Maureen!) xxx
Really pretty card. X
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteJust beautiful. Don't you just hate it when you run out of pearls, but in this case it doesn't detract from the overall beauty of this card. Love the aqua and white. I'll be sorry to see the end of your gorgeous Christmas cards.
Pam I'm sure your Christmas cake went down a treat, can you send me a slice please!
Ann hope you had a lovely evening line dancing.
Pauline, a brilliant idea, I'd be happy if Sue slipped a few C cards in during the year.
Elaine I hope your results were good, hoping to hear all is well tomorrow.
June Horrocks, I am so sorry, it's an awful illness an it must be so hard for you to see your brother suffering, sending you extra hugs.
Beverley Fuchs bless you for thinking of those less fortunate.
Yorkie girl, dream on and get in the queue! Lol.
I'm frantically trying to get everything organised before leaving for "home" on Friday. Grandchildren beware, Granny is on her way soon.
Love and hugs for all

Laine, I miss you, hope you are alright.
Hi Sue, sorry to be so late but I have been playing Santa all day and then I had to put up the decorations so only now am I settling down to admire this lovely card. I love aqua and white and it really does give you that frosty feel. It is very pretty with or without all of its pearls :-)
ReplyDeleteJune H - you have my sympathy, my special aunt suffered from Parkinsons and it was so sad to see her leave us bit by bit.
Frances
Stunning card, love the colours and the dies used. xx
ReplyDeleteBeautiful snowflake card Sue. The edger is so pretty too. Xx
ReplyDeleteWonderful snowflake card Sue. Love the different depths and textures in this card.
ReplyDeleteLovely card, such a delicate colour. Rather not have the snow though.
ReplyDeleteFinally finished December birthday cards so now I can think about Christmas cards.
Take care everyone.
Good morning Sue and all your admirers.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card Sue. It has a sort of peaceful feel to it. I have never used the strip pearls but will certainly buy some to add to my almost overflowing craft room stash.
Hard to believe that at this time next week Christmas day activities will be carefully put into the memory box.
I really do thank you and all those who comment for being part of my life. I read your blog every day before I do anything else and I have learned so much from it.
Hugs to all.
Marie P.
This card has lovely depth to it, really like it.x
