Good Sunday morning all! Today's card is a bit of a twist on yesterday's card. Even though it is very similar, I think it still looks quite different. I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the
Poinsettia Trellis embossing folder for background texture. Next, out of coconut white card, I cut four
Snowflake Flourish Corners and four of the straight pieces from the same set. I glued then all together to form one large frame and added mounting foam to the back to raise them. I attached them to the embossed background and added small pearls as accents. For the focal element, I cut the
Frosty Frame twice out of silver pearl card. I cut them both in half and trimmed away a bit so they were square when reassembled. I crossed them and attached them in the centre of the frame. I stamped my sentiment and cut it out with the oval from the set and seated it on the tag, also cut in white. The sentiment was attached to the middle of the die cuts which covered the line which showed from the dies being cut. White and silver mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size.
The winners of this week's Comment Game are:

Congratulations to comment game winners.
Elaine, your Chrustmas plans for Christmas Day and Bixubg Day lunch at the restaurant sound fantastic, no prep, no worrying about it all coming together at same time, no stress and mostly no clean up, genius, you are doing the right thing as you are so fatigued. You will have a great time, parties fir two days, yay.. I am very happy that Andrew and Mary are feeling better too.
Barbara, please be careful, cornered animals can be dangerous. Think of yourself now, you don't need him. 2018 will be your year.
My Dave day was brilliant, he was a little gem, spent most of his time snuggled into my side in my chair sleeping. We had a walk and he was so good but it was very cold out. He is a messy eater though, I got the vacuum out and he kept barking and running round it, so funny. I was sad to see him go Home.
Rosemarie, hooe the hedgehogs do well. I watch the Wikdlife SOS programmes, they are funny little creatures.
Ann thank you fir the tip on the Spellbinders handle. Always good to know as my Calibur is a back up too.
Warming hugs to all, esoecially our poorly and missing friends. Maureen have you run off with Laine.
Oops that should be Boxing Day

Morning Sue. I've said many times that 2 similar cards can look so incredibly different just with a change of colour and a tiny tweak, and I've seen that on Paul's fb group numerous times and it's amazing. Like you've shown today your dies etc allow that perfectly and beautifully. As it's market morning I have much to do so before I send my love and hugs to you I must congratulate out 3 lucky ladies enjoy your gift xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all the Wilsonettes

Congratulations to the comment winners.
ReplyDeleteTodays card, made me wake up lol. I thought the colour had gone from my computer as it reminds me of the old grey scale pictures before our life got filled with colour. Very pretty card though and the combination of the white and grey gives it a very different look.
Hugs to all those who need them

Hi Sue, this is a lovely card and I do like the Frosty Frame cut from silver pearl card but yesterday's card is my favourite. Just a few more cards to make and then I am done. I can't remember ever being so far behind before.

Hi Sue, a lovely Christmas card. Very pretty with the frosty frame but for me it does not have the 'wow' that yesterday's card has. Congratulations to the lucky winners.
ReplyDeleteTruly beautiful card Sue, love your choice of colour.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, as the song goes,"what a difference a day makes", same dies but such different cards. Thank you for sharing your brilliant ideas. Congratulations to the 3 winners. Hugs xx Pauline

Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat a stunning card. Hugs Brenda xxx
I adore it when you do your "snip, snip, snip" on your die cuts to create a new shape and look. You are always so clever with your designs. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card today.

Evis M.
Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how you can make such a different card using the same die thats why I love your blog so much.
My sister has gone back home so peace now reigns again until Saturday when my eldest daughter arrives plus one husband one daft Dalmatian and a 10 week old puppy.
Rosemary ouch Pam so glad you seem to be taking time to relax.Stephanie I hope your Christmas market went well.
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card using the frosty frame Die, it was my favourite Die from this years Christmas launch and I used it to make all my Christmas cards. Congratulations to our three lucky ladies today.
Marie P hope you found the extra cutting plate for your Gemini and can get the rest of your cards finished
Pam I will echo you again, glad you had a lovely Dave Day
Sending love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Sue this is another gorgeous card, i love the frame and the silver centre piece.
ReplyDeleteTo My Wonderful Dear Friend Sue,
ReplyDeleteI’m Thrilled To See Yet Another Exceptional “Christmas Card” Beautiful Colour Combination
With The White/Silver Pearl Card, I Love “The Snowflake Flourish Corners Plus Straight Pieces”
They Look Amazing Cut In White, Also Once Embossed They Really Come To Life
Then There’s “The Frosty Frame Die” I Really Love How You Take A Die Then Change The
Total Look, Like This Particular Die From A Rectangle Shape To A Square, I Often Forget To Do This
Until You Remind Me, Thank You For The Daily Inspiration I Truly Appreciate Everything You Do
Take Great Care My Wonderful Dear Friend
Wonderful Warm Fond Wishes To Colin Also Heather
Sue, Lots Of Love Also Huge Hugs 🤗

Congratulations to all the lucky winners xxx
Pam echoing your comments today. What a lovely day you had with Dave, he sounds a real sweetie xxx
And the result a beautiful card Sue....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't comment yesterday, I loved your card and as usual a brilliant video. Today's card gives the frosty frame such a different look. It's amazing really considering it's the same die just a different colour. Love the fact you can chop it half to create a square focal element, I'm more of a square type of girl!
Pam glad you enjoyed your Dave day, maybe you could borrow him more often.
Elaine I hope your sons " Swiss" cottage is not full of holes!
Rosemary, ouch! The things we put ourselves through in the name of beauty.
Barbara hope you are alright.
Congratulations to the three lucky ladies, enjoy your prize when it arrives
Love and hugs for all

ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card. The colours don't come up well on the iPad unfortunately but I know it will look really good.
ReplyDeleteTeresa
Congratulations to the winners this weekend. This is a beautiful card Sue. Thank you for sharing this. Echoing Pam’s comments as it is late and very tired. Spent day writing C cards but near enough finished now.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI’m very late as have just got home having been out for most of the day!
It’s such a busy time of year but you are busy too! So sorry I didn’t comment yesterday - I did watch the video though and I shall be trying out that great tip of cutting the Frosty Frame into a square! I liked yesterday’s card much better than today’s but that’s just personal preference.
I haven’t thought to use the “ outline” poinsettias on their own. Very effective indeed!
I’m about to go to bed as it’s been a long day.
We had a lovely family lunch at an Italian Retaurant for our 12 year old grandsons birthday. It was great food and great company!
Will try to catch up tomorrow, I promise! All being well!
Maureen has Internet problems but she is alright .
Love to all,
Myra ( Friend of Maureen!) xxx
Evening Sue. A beautiful card but for me yesterday's was a favourite. Thank you for sharing it though.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to your three winners today. Xx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteGreat card today. I must say this one looks totally different from yesterday's. On my iPad it looks a very pale grey and a silver grey. Isn't it funny how you can never go by seeing the colours of card on a screen. Congrats to the winners.
So pretty card!
ReplyDeleteHappy Holidays! 🎄🎅⛄

Good Monday morning to you Sue and to all your bloggers.
ReplyDeleteA lovely card again today and only 1 week to Christmas. Pat L I got up early to order a new cutting plate from Crafters companion only to find that they are out of stock!! I went to Amazon and although I had to pay more I did order one and in the meantime will have to finish my cards with my Cuttlebug. I swear I will not be on the last minute next year.
Hope everyone is ready for Christmas and that Crafty Santa is good to all of us.
Congratulations to the 3 comment winners.
