Hello there my crafty friends! It's more Christmas coming your way today! I started this one with a piece of acetate and the
Rose Quartz and Yellow Citrine Crystal tints across it. I used my finger to spread the tints across the acetate then sprinkled some
Gold and Cherry Red Holographic glitter on it. I crumpled a piece of tissue paper over it, tamped it down and set it aside to dry. Once dry I trimmed the edges to the size of my frame. I used the
Double Stitched Rectangles to make a white frame which I added with mounting foam. I cut two of the
Frosty Snowflake Corners in white then glued them to the sides of the frame. I cut the Season's Greeting die in white and glued it in the centre of the frame. White on white mats completed the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. Scroll down for card number two.
Card number two was started by cutting the Poinsettia Lattice die out of dusty rose card. I added it to a backing sheet of
coconut white card covered with a sticky adhesive sheet. I added some
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz to the exposed adhesive . I used the cutting edge to create a frame which I added with foam. I seated the background on another slight;y larger piece that I embossed using the
Poinsettia Lattice embossing folder.. I cut the
Tis the Season out of silver card and glued it to the background. White on white mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 6 1/2" x 7 3/4" in size. All for now, Sue x

GM Sue. Wow! The red background is fabulous. Must try that.
Morning Sue, my favourite day of the week, Christmas double day. Love both cards, the background of the first will make the card stand out from the rest, and the second is subtle and delicate, both in design and colour. Have a good day everyone. Bx
Awesome cards and so different too, love the vibrancy of number one and the succulency of number two, got to have a go at these two different backgrounds. Have a great day Sue, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, 2 amazing samples today, the first one has such vibrant colours in the background, truly brilliant. The second one completely different and this one shows the beautiful embossing folder to perfection. love them both xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Morning Sue. Oh my word, what's this - the 3rd or 4th week of the Friday festive double day and not one single sample I've not been sure about and these two outstanding samples are just beautiful. The first sample, well the background is just absolutely stunning and shows the beauty of the rest of the design, whereas the 2nd sample is subtle but beautiful. Can't, won't choose as both would make anyone smile as soon as they received them. Thank you for another day of gorgeous inspiration xxx
Hi sue,
Stunning cards today, the background on both are quite stunning! Lovely.....

Morning Sue.
Thank you, a beautiful duo.
I could not choose.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Two beautiful cards but love the brightness of the first one.
A gorgeous pair of cards. I like both of them for different reasons. The red one for its vibrancy and the rose one die its muted feel .xx
Two fabulous Christmas cards this morning! Love the background on the first card with glitter encapsulated in it. Debra x
Both beautiful but the first card background really attracts me in and I love the beautiful die cut edges
Hello Sue and all
No favourites today Sue, two stunning cards, so different and both gorgeous. Love the background on the first one (and of course started thinking about what colours to use to make it blue lol !! ) and the muted colours of the second one letting the die do all the talking, love that embossing folder, a real go to for Christmas backgrounds.
Hugs

Good Morning sue and and all
Yay its double Friday and may I say WOW at your stunning cards. The first card is stunning with the colours you have created from the crystal tints and glitter. The frosty snowflake corners finish the card of beautifully. The second card is also equally stunning , the dusty rose works so well with design. Thank you for sharing.

Card number one it is definitely for me today, just love that vibrant, stunning background. I like card no.2 but I am a traditionalist & like red poinsettias so doesn’t do it in the same way for me! Thank you for two totally different offerings today, doesn’t do for us all to be the same!
Hello Sue, both different cards and both beautiful. Love the season's greetings sentiment against the stunning red background. X
Two fantastic cards-absolutely love the background on the first card.

Two brilliant cards Sue. The first one has to be my favourite, the background is stunning and I’m not sure I would use pink on a Christmas card. Thank you, have a good weekend xxx.
Hi Sue, two lovely cards this morning. The first has a lovely vibrancy to it, love the background and the second is more subtle in the colour ways., but both beautiful.

Anne (Northampton)
Good morning Sue and what a lovely start to the morning with two fantastic cards. Like everyone else I'm struck with the beautiful background on the first one but they are both exquisite. I can't get my head around the tissue paper but maybe that's because I only came in to card making in my mid eighties and I don't recall seeing a video on it's use. I will ask Google later lol
Hope you have a great week end.
Hugs.

Hi Sue,
number one is my favourite. I love this burning red tones.

The first card is absolutely stunning. I do like everything about the second except the dusky rose card used, I would prefer a slightly stronger colour. Each to their own of course.
Teresa

Hi Sue, Love both cards . love Jean Z xxxx
My favourite is the first one with the zingy background. X
Hi Sue, two beautiful cards today. Although I adore all of your poinsettia dies I think card number one just edges it for me if only for the impact from the background.
Frances
Hi Sue,
Wow, the first card blew me away. It's the colours!! When I have done the majority of xmas cards I shall indulge in making those kind of backgrounds.
And the second one is beautiful as well, that is a beautiful die.
Hugs, Rose

Hi Sue. I am back from the heat in Seville into the swing of planning for Christmas. Love both of the cards today but I think that the first one is my favourite of the two with its lovely bright red colour. I have had a sneak peak of your future launch which looks as though it will be really exciting. I love the Celtic theme for wedding cards, I can't wait.

Well, I just love them both. I am always onboard for a "Caught in Crystal" background in all the variations so first card is an immediate winner for me. The second is lovely also....glittery sparkle with poinsettias (sorry Donita).
