Tis The Season

Hello there my crafty friends!  I am going to sneak in another Christmas card while there is still some time left.  I am always pretty partial to the shadow box cards, they just sing to me.  I used the Christmas Shadow Box cut in white for this one.  I added mounting foam to the back of it to raise it and added it over a piece of white card embossed with the Wild Poinsettia folder for texture.  I cut the stockings in red and green, adding some Iced Snow to each of the tops before adding them to the long section.  Two red and white candy canes and a silver snowflake to the two smaller sections.  For the largest section, I cut the gingerbread man and placed him so he looks like he is popping out of it.  I added the sentiment in gold above him and hung the wreath from the bottom of it.  I added a holly with red berries as an accent in the upper corner.  I added red Glitter kiss to both the bow on the wreath and the berries on the holly sprig.  White on white mats and layers were used to complete the card.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x  7 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

Wonderful card Sue. Love it.
June and Elaine, hope your Chrustmas lunches went well, lots of fun, laughter and good food.
Lynne, what a lovely gesture to play the piano for the children, I bet they were all delighted to see you. Their little faces would have been beaming and singing at the top of their voices. Lovely day for you.
Sharon, I hope you are feeling better, if not see somebody please. Hooe you managed to find those churches.
Rosemary, I hope you are feeling better, please don't stop posting, it is our way of knowing you are okay.
Donita, you couldn't fail to love Sues poinsettias, they are always so beautiful.
It's my team Christmas lunch today, we are all leaving work at 1 pm so should have a good afternoon.
Hope everyone is well and warm, our snow had gone due to a very heavy rainfall but there was frost overnight.
Hugs abounding in the basket, sending some for poorly and missing friends. Please be kind to each other.

Steph Cotterill said...

Morning Sue. What a lovely happy jolly sample. Unfortunately my little Gingerbread guys must be making their way to me by foot and I'm so cross I've had to wait so long, but, who knows, I may get a knock on the door today which then gives me a couple of days to get a few cards done ready for Sunday. He looks such a happy cheeky chappie popping up through his 'window' a sample to bring a smile to our day.

Rosemary - I'm pleased that you could re-read my comment and see that my words were not to offend but as a tribute and also a reminder if you will that no matter how I feel at the start of each day, something positive is bound to come into my day because believe me I have had and do still have my daily challenges and as a few ladies here will confirm, opened up here whilst commenting from a hospital bed ! So I'm pleased you didn't feel I was pointing my finger at anyone, in particular yourself, I'm not a person that enjoys conflict, and I certainly don't go out of my way to leave nasty comments purely to hurt and upset, that's just not who I am and thank you for your best wishes and thank you crewtrish xx
All that now put away and moving forward, I send my usual love and hugs your way Sue and hope your day brings laughter and happiness xxx

Beverly Fuchs said...

Hello Sue,

I'm writing this in the early, early hours of the morning here in the States, while watching the snow falling so peacefully outside. Your shadow boxes are so delightful and this one is no exception. The little gingerbread man is adorable peaking out of the top. It just seems impossible that Christmas is less than two weeks away.

Hope that everyone has a great day.

Beverly

Good Morning Sue and all. A WOW card this morning. I am enjoying playing with my square shadow box at moment and your card this morning has given me so more ideas. I love the hint of glitter kiss on your card. I think I do need to get the Ginger bread man.

June Smith said...

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh I love this one, the gingerbread man is so cute but look at the close up of the holly, wreath and stockings you can clearly see the embossing on them from the die cut, I absolutely love it.

Pam I reiterate all you have said above. Our craft lunch yesterday was brilliant, we had a fabulous time, lots of laughter, fun, and presents all round, I received some wonderful gifts, and cards, I felt thoroughly spoilt, and they all said how much they appreciate me running the group, I was very touched. Now you have a great day with your team lunch today, enjoy it, I know you will.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Izzy said...

Hi Sue,

Love that cheeky gingerbread man, so cute...and having invested in the Celebrations Shadow Box last month I can give them a big thumbs-up - they are so much fun to work with, choosing the elements from my die arsenal to fill all the apertures - so if there is anyone out there still dithering as to whether to buy a Shadow Box just go for it...you won't regret it

Ann Topp said...

Good Morning Sue. Such a lovely bright and cheerful card especially on a horrible morning like this. It is really dark and dismal this morning and we have just had a really bad downpour of rain. Just hope it doesn't freeze. We are going out for the day today with my husband's brother and his wife. A little shopping and then a bite to eat later in the day then home about 4ish. They are a lovely couple and he is just a wonderful man We do this every six weeks and have a real good catch up. Best thing about it is I don't have to cook when we get back yayyyy. Best Wishes to all. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

I went to visit a friend yesterday & was so touched when she showed me a Christmas card I had sent last year pinned up on the wall she said it was too pretty to throw away & was going to put it up on display every year Isn't it lovely to think that our crafting is appreciated & brings so much pleasure Sue this is all down to your inspiration the card I had made her was one using your holly octagonal frame

Kiraneries said...

Hi Sue, a gorgeous and fun Christmas card. I love your cute gingerbread man and all the small elements you have used in the shadow box.

Unknown said...

Dear Sue and Caring Crafters,

Cheery card! I have the distinct impression from seeing all these cards that the holidays are jolly.
That's my takeaway.

Beverly Fuchs, did I hear you bust a rhyme yesterday? Are younpracticing to be a hip hop artist? Can you breakdance? I bet the cheeky Gingerbread Man can breakdance.

Stephanie Cotterill, I needed your reminder to put more energy into the positive. What we feed is what grows. I forget that too often. I would still encourage anyone who is going through a hard time to speak up or reach out to someone whose email address is on their Google Plus profile. Or Facebook. Despair can disappear when subjected to light, and this group has lots of light.

And an abundance of hugs.

Love,
Donita

barbara macaskill said...

This beautiful card is just what I needed today! My day started out horribly and I just can’t stop the tears from flowing! How does someone who you have given 30 years of your life to turn into somebody that you just don’t know or understand? The face he shows to the world has nothing at all to do with the real person (monster) hiding behind that facade! I am hurt deep in my soul and my head is spinning rapidly! I am screaming inside to please let me off this crazy ride but it continues and is gaining speed.
I am a SURVIVOR and will make it through this as I have made it through cancer three times and many other health issues that have tried to keep me down! I am putting on my happy face for the world to see and will take the pain out again when I am ready and able to handle it!
Thank you Sue for a bright spot in my day! You never cease to bring a smile to my face!

Pat L said...

Hi Sue
What a gorgeous festive card, I have lots of your shadow box dies but don't have the Christmas ones so will have to rectify that soon.

Went to Sarah's school nativity concert yesterday and it was wonderful to see all the children with special physical needs singing and signing their hearts out

Sending love and hugs to everyone

Hi Sue and everyone

A cute fun card today. I love the little stockings.

I’m glad that everyone is once again happy and harmonious on this wonderful blog. I too am proud to be a Wilsonettte, even if I do keep disappearing when I’m ill. I always return though as I get enormous pleasure from all Sues wonderful samples and tips and tricks and really enjoy reading everyone’s comments.

Barbara, so very sorry you are going through a horrible time. You obviously are a very strong lady and will get through this, but it will not be easy. Thinking of you and sending hugs x

Myra said...

Hello Sue,
I’m late again as it has been another busy day! I always peek in early but don’t comment until later - don’t ask me why!
This card is a real cutie! I love it. I’m presently making a card for one of my grandson’s. It’s his birthday next week. Hopefully it will be ready for Sunday when we are all going out for a family lunch. I’m so looking forward to it as I don’t have to cook!
I started commenting on the this lovely blog just around the time Steph mentioned today. I remember her daughter’s wedding , the search for outfits etc. We need to stick together and be positive but caring for one another too! We are all different! I’m so thankful you are not all like me!!! Lol!
Pam - I hope you have had a lot very time today - you deserve it.
June - so pleased all went well for you yesterday.
Barbara - so very sorry life is difficult for you! I can’t imagine what that must be like! However you are a brave, positive lady! God Bless you!
Laine - you have been missing for a while and I miss you lots! Hope you aren’t suffering too much! x
Love to all,

Tooth Fairy Jo said...

Hello Sue,
This is just too cute for words, but I'll try anyway lol! Love your shadow box dies, they lend themselves to such a variety of styles and concepts. Your little gingerbread man has such a cheeky look, I think he's peeping into the stockings to see what santa has brought. You can sneak in as many Christmas cards as you want, I wouldn't mind seeing them all year round.

Pam hope you enjoyed your team lunch and the way back home wasn't too slippery.
June, glad you enjoyed yours, you deserve to be spoilt for all the effort you put in.
Crewe Trish sounds like you had a proud granny moment, I bet it was lovely.
Elaine hope all went well for your scan today, sounds like you are having a lot of tests done, hope it's not anything serious.
June Horrocks a proud great granny moment for you too, well done Bailey.
Donita, you have such a way with words, I love your posts. Over here in Germany we light our advent candles on each Sunday in December to symbolise the Light which came into the world on Christmas Day.
Pat L, another proud Granny! I am so jealous, I arrive home too late at Christmas to see my little stars shine. I bet Sarah was the star of the show.
Barbara Macaskill, I am so very sorry, you sound like you are having an awful time of it. Wish there was something I could do to ease your pain but all I can give you are hugs from afar. I hope you have someone near to give you them for real. xxx
Love and hugs for all

Such a sweet, happy card. Love the shadow box dies. I think after Christmas, before I pack up my Christmas cards for another year, I am going to use up some scraps and make a few of these for next year. Sam has the right idea by getting ahead.
June, glad your party was a blast. Pam I am sure your lunch will be a happy occasion also.
Elaine, glad you are enjoying your Gemini. I went to a card making session today and the die cutting machines were really awful. Makes me so thankful that I have my trusty Gemini here at home.

Jolly card with the Gingerbread Man. Love the Christmas stockings.
I was AWOL recently as my DH has been ill. We had an evening out a couple of weeks ago and a few hours after we got home he was in hospital having I.V. antibiotics to treat septicaemia. A very worrying time but he's home and on the mend now. All thoughts of Christmas went out of the window for a while and now it's a frantic rush. I'm still on the naughty step as I haven't started on my Christmas cards yet!!!
Take care everyone.
