Hello crafters! It's or second Christmas double day this year and I have two very different cards to share with you. First up is one of my favourites. I started by cutting the
Believe In The Magic Frame out of coconut white card and nipping it apart. On another piece of card, I covered a piece of black card with a sticky adhesive sheet. I peeled it back then sprinkled it with
Marine Blue, Midnight Rainbow and Teal Haze Holographic Glitter to get an amazing night sky look. I added a sparkly moon with the Santa's sleigh from the frame to it. I cut an extra bit of the frame to get a few more trees and I used the cottages and trees across the bottom of the card. I attached it to another piece of card and nipped apart the
Season's Greetings sentiment to attached it in an offset manner. I used
Vellum poinsettias to add a floral element to the card. Black and white mats completed the card. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8 3/4" in size. Scroll down for card number two.
Card number two is an angelic one. I started by cutting the
Christmas Angel 2018 out of both
silver mirror card and black, using the black as a shadow. Next I added a matte silver backing to the angel. I cut the Snowball frame out of antique silver, then seated it over a
Netted Star Background cut in white. I cut a larger piece of white as the background and added it with mounting foam in the lower corner. A white
Angelina die was cut and added just under the top corner. The angel was centred within the frame and pearls were added to the frame surround. The sentiment from the
Snowball frame was added above and vellum poinsettias added a floral element to the lower left corner. Silver, black and white mats completed this card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Good Morning Sue and all
Two fantastic cards this morning , The effect of the night sky on the first card is stunning and finished beautifully with the vellum poinsettias flowers.
On the second card the Christmas Angle is so beautiful, the details really stand out and frames are stunning and again finished beautifully with the poinsettias . Thank you for sharing.
Crafty hugs , Wendy
Hello Sue and all
Both absolutely beautiful cards and so different, showing the range of cards that can be made with your amazing dies.
The first card is probably my favourite so far this year, that sky is out of this world and the Santa sleigh is so truly Christmas both for the northern hemisphere colder winters and our southern summer heatwave christmases.
Hugs

Morning Sue.
Thank you two beautiful cards.
The first one for the younger ones and the second for the more traditiononal.
Take care and have fun Kitty.

Morning Sue. It has to be the first sample that wins my choice this week. I think there is too much going on in the second, your 2018 Angel is overwhelmed by two frames, both lovely but she deserves one or the other to make her beauty stand alone. Unfortunately due to the drop in finances, buying dies will be a luxury rather than a treat so no festive collection for me but I have a few from a couple of years ago so all is well.
Hope your day is a good one xxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, 2 stunning creations for us today, oh I do like Christmas double days don't you. Both cards are completely different but deserve to have their day on the blog, more idea's are now buzzing in my head, thank you for sharing Sue.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
The first one gets my vote too. The angel is lovely and so is the netted star background and the Angelina set. I think the trouble is the snowball frame. Even adorned with pearls, the frame looks like an angel holding cell. Poor Angel 2018! I wonder if the snowman would melt her heart inside a snow fort.
Anyway, enjoy your Friday!

Hi Sue
Two fabulous cards. The first is my favourite, that sky is glorious.

Hi Sue, two beautiful cards this morning. The night sky on the first one is amazing and the dies are beautiful. On the second one, the angel is outstanding and really is very detailed. All in all, I think the first is my favourite though.

Two lovely cards Sue, the first is my favourite. It’s magical. Thank you, have a good weekend. Xxx
Morning Sue, amazing background on the first card and such a beautiful Angel on the second one. I wonder what she would look like on your glittered background too? Those poinsettias are lovely. Hugs xx Pauline
Good morning Sue,
Two beautiful cards today but the first is my style of card that I like to make. Yvonne xx
Hello Sue, both lovely cards. No 1 is my favourite of the two. The angel is absolutely gorgeous and she seems a little overcrowded, she is so beautiful and stands proud on her own. Xx
Good Morning Sue. I just can't believe the beauty of these two cards. Both are stunning samples and so deserving to have your name pinned on them. I can't decide which I love the best as they both have their own charm. Thank you Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Good morning Sue. I seem to be on the right day for a change. Two beautiful cards to wet the crafty appetite. Comparing the two is a bit like comparing cheese and chalk but I must say that the first one is my choice which may well be because I have the die for that one and not the angel.
The night sky looks so gorgeous and could be used on so many cards.
greetings to all.
Marie P.
Two beautiful cards,
I have been waiting to see a sample of Believe in the magic as I was lucky enough to win this die in the recent festive launch.
Hi Sue,
Two beautiful cards today.
The first one is my favourite as it is just so stunning.
Regards,
Evis M.
Hello Sue
I think the first is definitely my favourite that sky is amazing. While the second is lovely angels and gingerbread men don't seem to mean Christmas to me I know strange
Good morning Sue Two lovely card but the first one is my favourite I love the snow scene & the night sky is magical The angel is beautiful but I think the frame around her is a bit heavy
Morning Sue, I love double days!! Two very different cards, love the night sky on the first one, it is really stunning! Love Jean xxx

Two beautiful cards Sue, but love number 1
Both beautiful posts but think the first takes it for me. Think I saw this demo'd or something similar and it was another one of those that made me buy the dies - just gorgeous though both of them.
Two very different, but lovely cards. Fabulous glitter background on the first one.
Teresa
Lovely cards. Your glittery background on the first is absolutely gorgeous and I love how your angel almost looks metallic on the second.
Hi Sue and lovely wilsonettes x
Two beautiful cards Sue x I was so hoping you would show the first card soon as I love this card and the background is stunning x thankyou Sue x

Two awsum cards sue both deserve their day in the sun just beautiful thank you so much for sharing love June Horrocks cxxccxxx
Hi Sue, two equally gorgeous cards in contrasting styles. Much as I like the angel the first card is my absolute favourite. I have everything needed for it with the exception of the holographic glitter so will have to substitute some navy glitter card which I hope will do your lovely die justice.
Frances
Two amazing cards, great ideas for this year...thank you Sue...Definitely the angel card for me.....luv Ursula xx
Hi Sue

Hi Sue, two stunning Christmas cards. I can't pick a favourite as I love them both.
Your blog looks good, you should monetize it. There are number of monetizing solutions available in the market like RevGlue.com as its an authentic UK based registered company.
amazing sky. those colours work so beautifully together, hugs xx
Oh Sue,
It's the first one by a whisker for me. That sky is fabulous and shows the dies off to perfection.
I love the angelic card, too - but it's the colours for the first one.
Hugs
Rose
Gorgeous cards both of them!
Love the colours of the sky in your first card, and the design with the Christmas angel is so elegant :))

Two lovely cards. X
Two beautiful cards but I also have to say that the first one is my favourite. I love the night sky. Very dramatic.
I guess I am in the minority but my favorite (and both are lovely) is the Angel card. I just love this year's angel, love the antique silver look, and the background is so pretty not to mention the velour flowers.
Everyone, hope your weekend will be fun,

Also love you cards featuring your angels. This year's one is definitely my favourite.
Love being inspired by your designs.
