Hello! Welcome to another Christmas double day. I am starting with a lovely Bell card. I cut a piece of antique silver card as my background. I cut two of the
Frosty Snowflake border die in white and glued them to the sides of the card. Next I embossed a piece of white card with the
Ice Crystal embossing folder. I matted it with silver mirror card and added it to the top centre of the card with foam. I cut two of the
Christmas Bells out of silver mirror card then backed them with
antique silver card. I mounted them on the embossed background and added a silver bow to the top. The
Happy Christmas sentiment was cut twice out of white card, stacked them glued to the bottom centre of the card. White, antique silver and silver mirror card were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 8" in size. Scroll down to see card number two.
Card number two is a quirky snowman card. I started by cutting the
Snowfall Background out of cobalt blue card. I backed it in white, then cut four corners out of white card and gluing them into the corners. I added a white frame around the background using the
Double Pierced Noble Squares. In the centre, I cut a white circular frame using the centre dies from the Snowfall Background. I cut the snowman from the
Build A Snowman die set, added arms, nose, bowtie and mittens. I cut the snowman off at the circular line so he looks like he is peeking out a circular window. I added the
Let It Snow mini expression above it. White and cobalt blue mats and layers were added to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cards today. One elegant and the other fun. My favourite today is the first one. Love those elegant silver bells.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, another fabulous Christmas double day, with two brilliant cards, love the elegance of the first and the cute and fun look of the second. A great way to make the snowman look completely different. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteWoohoo I'd forgotten it was double festive day ! Put it down to age lol. No, no way can I pick a favourite, the first sample is just beautiful with your bells (not just for festive cards) Paul has made a beautiful wedding card using them. And your second beautiful sample is just adorable Sue, your cute little snowman peeping through that perfect background brings a smile to my face and I need him so badly. Just prepared the black box for the weekend as Sunday should be market day but listening to the forecasts I wouldn't be surprised if it's not cancelled and I need to tick so much off my need list, that's not going to happen is it 😢 on the plus side, I have a warm and cosy craft weekend to make up for my disappointment xxx
ReplyDeletelove both of your cards but have a love for your quirky cards as they are right up my street. Have a great day, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue and all
ReplyDeleteGotta love twofers! Both of these cards are gorgeous in their own way, time to get serious with the special Christmas cards and you have given us so much inspiration already Sue. The days are getting to be so nice outside now in our spring but still cool enough of an evening to enjoy a good card session.
Still to watch your takeover on rewind too, can’t wait
Hugs

Morning Sue.

ReplyDeleteHi Sue, two more beautiful Christmas cards today. The first one is so elegant. The silver and white go together very well. The second one is a lovely fun card.
ReplyDeleteBarbara V
Two wonderful Christmas cards today! Love both designs but can't help but fall for the snowman card holding his mittens over his branch arm. The ribbon holding them together is a lovely little detail. Debra x
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue and all Wilsonettes, 2 beautiful creations today, I love double days, and both of these deserve their day on the blog, brilliant

Good Morning Sue and all
ReplyDeleteI have to say I love double day Friday seeing you christmas creations and always find it to difficult to pick a favourite. I love the christmas bell which I have to admit I bought create more wedding cards. I have just bought the snowflake boarder so think I will have to create a card .
The snowman card is just so cute with him peeping through giving a wave and check smile. The cobalt blue card really brings the design together. Thank you for sharing.
crafty hugs to all, Wendy
Hello Sue,
ReplyDeleteTwo fabulous Christmas cards, the first so elegant and the second which is probably my favourite, so cute, colourful and fun. Looking forward to the takeover weekend starting with your shows at 6pm

Oh dear, the Festive double days are coming round so quickly - soon be Christmas! Help I haven’t started my cards yet. I went for the cheeky chappy last week & while I do like your snowman card this week I think my favourite this week has to be those bells. Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteDon’t forget everyone it’s the Creative Expressions take over this weekend, starting with Sue at 6pm tonight.
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteTwo great cards. The snowman is my favourite.
Looking forward to the takeover weekend.

ReplyDeleteMorning Sue
ReplyDeleteOh I love festive double days! 2 for 1!
Once again 2 completely different cards and I love them both. The first card screams elegance. The second card is so much fun. I have decided that there really is no point having a to do list with your cards. It has now turned into a ‘maybe one day list’!
Scotty dog - I hope you weren’t talking to me - I would never forget x
Happy Friday everyone.
I’ll ‘see’ you later Sue.

Hi Sue both of your cards are stunning. I am looking forward to all the shows at the weekend. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, both cards are great. Either card will bring a smile from whoever receives them.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Sue. Two beautiful cards so different from each other. I love the Bell card which is so elegant and could be used for different occasions but I also love the cheeky little snowman who's time in the limelight is so short in comparison.
ReplyDeleteYou will be having a very busy week-end Sue. I will watch if I can.
Best of luck.

ReplyDeleteTwo fantastic cards. Being a Bell, I’m going to have to chose the first one as a preference, but only just!
Looking forward to watching you in Hochanda this evening.
Love Helen xxx
Both gorgeous but have to admit love the second one as it uses one of my favourite die sets - the snowman is so fun... A reminder has been set for the shows tonight
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, I love both of today's cards and could not choose between them as they are both stars of their own style. Looking forward to the shows over the week-end, I hope everyone enjoys it without wearing yourselves out after last week at Ally Pally.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Good Morning Sue. Your double Friday days are coming around too quickly but I love them so as they say "bring them on"
