Merry & Bright Card
Hello crafters! As we are now less than a week away, we are finishing up on all the Christmas card videos for the year. I think this is a nice end to them though with a pretty white on white card. Hope you enjoy it too!
The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x
Gorgeous card Sue., absolutely stunning, I love it. June H, so sorry to hear about your lovely brother, Oarkinsons is a dreadful disease, life is so unfair. Ann, your line dancing sounds fun. Wonderful 93 yr old still dancing. Pauline, I liked your idea to, would help get me started early . My Chrustmas cake was a success, thank goodness. My HO heard about it and had 2 pieces, she loved it. My blood pressure check yesterday showed a huge decrease, still not quite normal but looking better. Donita, Dave is not left alone during the day he goes to work with Bryan who has his own business and from next week Kelly will be working there too, he is in the back office being spoiled. Hugs to all, esoecially our poorly and missing friends.
Morning Sue. WOW. Love this cool relaxing soothing sample. It's the kind of card that if it was the last make of the day before cleaning and tidying your work table ready to start again the following day it would leave you on a high and chomping on the bit ready to start again the following day. Wish I had days like that lol. Although during my re-stock marathon last week I made 4 CAS cards all the same using a festive die I inherited a few years ago but just changed the colour scheme and that kinda left me smiling as they turned out nicely. This collection of dies are just beautiful Sue and seen many many stunning cards on Paul's fb group that show how versatile they really are, boy, there's some extremely talented buddies there. Today is my pre Christmas gift opening practice day and I know there will be some of your recent dies amongst them and I'm so excited (quietly hoping for your wooden barrow, pumpkin patch, maybe the new baby pram,) either would be so useful and loved as the other dies are that I own, so yes, I'll be like the cat that got the cream lol. Thank you for sharing this gorgeous sample this morning Sue, I'm one happy bunny. Sending love and hugs your way, hope your day will be as happy as mine will be, all thanks to you and your wonderful die collection xxx
Morning Sue. Thank you a beautiful card and great video. I have promised myself to be ruthless and tidy my craft room, the nursery has all the waste. Take care all and keep warm Kitty.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a beautiful sample to finish with for this Christmas, love it, and the video as well. Everything about this card shouts sophistication and elegance.
Pam I reiterate all you have said above, see told you the cake would be a success. I bet Dave is thoroughly spoilt and pampered when he goes to work every day.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue, A wonderful way to finish this season's christmas card videos -a stunning tone on tone design with the vellum adding a lovely soft contrast.x
Good morning Sue Stunning! I love white on white it always looks so elegant add some vellum to the mix and Wow! I enjoyed the video thanks for sharing. Hugs x Heather T
Vellum and swirls, white on vellum-white, so beautiful! I just love watching you put everything together on video.
What do you guys mean by inserts? Do you mean the sentiments inside? Or the whole inside, if, like Sue, you make toppers rather than whole cards?
Kudos on the cake, Pam. And it's nice that Dave preferred your company to his usual company at his dad's company. Glad your BP went down so much.
Stephanie Cotterill, what do you mean pre-Christmas gift-opening practice day?! Does that mean you just couldn't wait? Who needs practice? You had practice last year! Or is this something the kids came up with so they didn't have to wait so long? Or are you really talking about Hanukkah? And I, too, would like to have back-to-back crafting days like you described.
Anyway, I hope Craft Santa brings you everything you whispered in his ear when you were sitting on his lap.
Same for everybody here.
Beverly Fuchs, it would almost be worth being admitted to Johns Hopkins and having no visitors to get one of your cards!
I'm going to try making little penguins out of fresh mozzarella balls and jumbo black olives for our holiday potluck at work. Saw it on Facebook. One olive is the head? The other olive is cut almost in half and the mozzarella ball is stuck into it, like the penguin's white belly. Then you cut a little wedge out of a carrot slice to make the feet. Secure olives and cheese and carrot slice with a toothpick. Cut a sliver of carrot from the wedge and stick that into the top olive for the beak.
But I bought a shrimp ring in case the penguins don't work out.
Enjoy your festivities! Enjoy the pretty lights! Relegate the legitimate suffering to a specific, limited time each day. And if possible, overdo in moderation.
Good morning Sue. Fabulous card and video, I'm enjoying the last few Christmas makes. Pam, pleased your blood pressure is coming down, there are studies which say stroking a pet helps so I think you should borrow Dave more! Stephanie, I like the idea of practising opening presents! Hugs to all. Sue xxx
Hi Sue A beautiful elegant card. I'll watch the video later. I think Beverley is thoughtful and kind to give her cards to hospital patients over Christmas, what a lovely gesture and truly in the spirit of Christmas. B xx
Hi Sue- your last Christmas card is so beautiful and delicate. I love tone on tone, especially when it's white. Thank you Sue for showing us such a wide selection of Christmas cards, they have all been amazing. Sending best wishes YvonneMayxx
Good Morning Sue. Beautiful card this morning Sue and beautiful embossing. I love watching you work on the videos and I love how tidy and prepared you are. When I start a card the whole work top is a mess. Lol. Our party went down well. It was lovely so Christmassy. I was presented with a beautiful Christmas plant from the staff at Live At Home Scheme, who are the organisers, and a gift card with money in from a collection all the dancers had for me in appreciation for what I put into the class. I was very touched. Today I have to do it all again for the beginners class ! ! ! This is a smaller and easier class... it is almost a year since this class started and I am so proud of them. Not one of them had done line dancing before and I feel so pleased at how they have done. I get so much pleasure from my two classes... as well as good exercise we have so much fun and always a good laugh. If today is as lovely as yesterday I will be one happy teacher. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Good Morning Sue and all. WOW card this morning . How can I not love this card when you have used the twinkle star frame. The vellum poinsettias look so beautiful. I am going to pop the kettle on and watch the video. Crafty hugs and well wishes to all.... Wendy

Merry & Bright, Sparkle & Shine. Love this white on white card with the vellum poinsettias, the gloss greeting, the glittered backing to the stars layer, and ofcourse all the layers on this card design. I did enjoyed looking at your card and your video. Oh, Happy Day!
Hello Sue I love this card in fact I have pinned it and I am going to try it next week after the madness of Christmas is past ready for next year.I always say I must try that for next year then forget. Pam I am glad your bp is going down.Donita you say everything so eloquently.Stephanie I like your idea of a practice opening of presents my granddaughters are allowed to open one present on Christmas eve it is always pyjamas but they love it.Rosemary you seem to be missing again I hope everything is alright.
Hi Sue. I think this card is simply stunning. Great use of dies from different sets together and I love the different card and paper textures. I really must start using more vellum on my cards.
White on white is always so fresh. A lovely card. We have had a treat this year with so many beautiful Christmas cards to enjoy. I have new dies that were not used for my cards this year and may join Crew Trish in making a few in January after my company leaves and the house is quiet again. I did use the Merry and Bright die. I think it works so well on many cards. Donita, hope the penguins work out. Pam, great about the BP numbers and of course the delish cake. June and Ann, you ladies are always having fun. Good Tuesday for all, Stephanie K SC/USA
Stunning simply elegant and stunning, Love it. Thanks for all you do Sue I do appreciate all you have taught me and all you will teach me in the future. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Well I still have the final two specials to make but so enjoyed the day. Very precious times. If I get time today’s could be one of the two. Well done on the BP Pam Hugs Muriel x
Lovely tone-on-tone card. As always, I love the use of velum to make the flowers.
The twinkle star background has been a firm favourite of mine this and will be for years to come I think. I must try using it the way you have done though, very effective.

A beautiful card Sue. I have yet to watch the video but had a long journey today so all behind with everything including leaving a comment. Glad your BP is down Pam. Hope it stays like that. Echoing Pam’s Comments and hugs for all who need them. Must get some sleep.
ReplyDeleteAnother stunning card. Love the Poinsettia and the Holly Swirl.
ReplyDeleteTake care everyone.
What a beautiful card Sue. I just love your videos and Today I pressed the button to follow you on U-tube. That was my reward to myself for getting my cards finished. I love everything about todays card except the fact that the dies will have to go on my wish list.
ReplyDeleteHugs to all.
