Hi bloggers! Another double day for you and these two are completely different! Starting out with a cute snowman card to put a smile on your face. I used the
Falling Snow embossing folder to add texture to a piece of
duck egg blue card. I cut the
Snowball Frame out of white, added foam to the back and attached it horizontally across the top of the card. From the
Build A Snowman set, I cut the snowman, added arms, a broom, cap, nose, buttons, bow tie and eyes to him and mounted him inside the frame. I cut a sign and stamped on it and added it next to him inside the frame. The sentiment was cut out of white and glued in the corner under the frame. I made three
vellum poinsettias and added them in opposite corners and accented them with sprays from the
Poinsettia Garland die set. Duck egg blue and white mats were used to complete this card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7 3/4" in size. Scroll down for card number two.
Another angel card for my second selection. I started with a piece of milk card as my background colour. I cut the
Mosaic Bauble Frame twice, once out of milk and once out of black. I used the black as a shadow for the frame. I cut the two longer sides off of the frame and added a backing piece to both strips using milk card coated with
enchanted gold gilding polish. I added mounting foam and placed them diagonally in opposite corners, trimming the edges even with my background. Next I cut the
Starburst die out of milk card covered with the same gilding polish. I added a black backing then attached it in the centre with foam. I cut the
Christmas Angel 2018 out of black card and milk card. The black card was on top so it cut everything out and the milk card was underneath so it cut a nice outline. I attached the two and mounted her in the centre of my starburst. I cut a
Tis The Season in black and added it in the lower left corner. In the opposite corner, I added some
pearl swirls and startbursts as accents. Milk and black mats were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 9" in size. All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue Two gorgeous cards they are very different so it's difficult to choose a favourite I like the way you've used the mosaic frame on the diagonal on the second card
ReplyDelete2 totally different but so beautiful cards!
ReplyDeleteNancy

Morning Sue, where did the week go ? It seems no time at all since the last festive double day but I'm not complaining ohh no certainly not, I look forward to the next and the next, but for obvious reasons (a 3yr old grand-daughter) yes 3 already it has to be your cute snowman that wins my heart. I really must make this the next die I save for as I need more cards for the youngsters to add to my selection and I know that this little guy will raise a smile let's face it, how can you not smile when you see a beautiful cute card like this 😊 thank you for today's inspirational idea's on how to give pleasure to family and friends round the globe xxx
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue,
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the Friday double days, a lovely way of finishing the working week. Two beautiful and very different cardstyles with a great use of the starburst die.x
Two cards,both stunning. No favourite this week,love them both.
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you two beautiful cards, please don't ask me to choose,they are so lovely.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Gorgeous cards Sue love them both but got to have a go at the angel its awesome. Have a great day,hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, 2 very different cards but both deserve their day on the blog, oh I do like double days. The first one is so cute especially the sentiment words - I can imagine my 7 year old granddaughter laughing at this one. The second is using the wonderful Angel die, looks so effective with the milk and black card, different to your traditional all white card but I like it too.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteWhat could be better than a double day posting and what lovely cards. The Snowman is so cute and whimsical that would delight the child in any of us while the Angel is beautiful and elegant with so much detail. Hard to say which is my favorite as they are both stunning.
Hope that you have a wonderful day.

Two lovely Christmas cards! My favourite is the first as it's really cute :). Debra x

Can’t believe it’s Friday again & another twofer! While I like both cards it has to be the snowman for me, while the children love them I think adults still like the tradition of a snowman on Christmas cards. Suits all ages. Thank you Sue. Hope to see you at the weekend.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. As much as I love the really jolly snowman die I would have to say that the second card is my favourite of the two with the starburst and the angel which are particularly nice. Thanks for the inspiration.

Two beauties today sue I’m late today but can’t miss my comment the snowman is so cute all the little people will love him the angel is very special I love her such a gift
ReplyDeleteThank you sue love always June Horrocks xxxxxxxx
Hi Sue, two great cards today and although they are totally different in style they are equally lovely. I really like the milk card with gilding polish and I must try using my mosaic frame for something other than a frame as I like the effect. The snowman is such a happy chap and would put a smile on anyone's face. I hope you enjoy your time at Ally Pally.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Two amazing cards, but no. 2 my favourite....luv Ursula xx

ReplyDeleteWendy xx
Hi Sue and everyone.
ReplyDeleteOne cutie and one gorgeous card, thank you Sue
Have a fab time at Ally Pally.
hugs Maria x
The starburst is like the angel’s glory. And the pearl swirl indicates the value of her message. She gets my vote.
ReplyDeleteThe melting heart sentiment is the reason I bought both the snowman and the snowball frame sets. This card could just as well be used for Valentine’s Day.
Thanks for the double today!
