Hello crafters! First up on today's Christmas double day is a robin card. I started by cutting the
Star Wreath out of antique gold card . I embossed a square of white card with the
Falling Snow folder and glued the wreath on to it. Next I cut a bunch of the pine sprig from the
Christmas Robin set and inked the pine needles with
Forest Moss distress ink. I glued them into a wreath shape then added pine cones cut from tan card. Lastly I cut the
Robin out of tan card and inked it lightly before gluing it in the lower portion of the wreath. I cut the sentiment out of gold mirror card and glued it into the centre of the card.I cut two
Faith dies in white and glued them into opposite corners on a larger piece of antique gold card. I matted both squares with gold mirror card and added the focal element with foam in the centre. The card was completed with white, antique gold and gold mirror card mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 3/4" x 7 3/4" in size. Scroll down for card number two.
For card number two, I cut the
Natalie die into the centre of a piece of black card. I added a white die as an offset below it then backed the card with antique gold. I cut a
Star Wreath out of
Antique gold card and glued it to the black card. I used the cutting edges to make a thin white frame and glued it around the
Natalie aperture. The sentiment was cut in both white and gold and offset then glued in the centre of the card. I made three poinsettias out of
vellum and glued them in opposite corners. I accented them with the pine piece from the
Poinsettia Cluster die set. White, black and gold mats and layers were used to complete the card. The finished dimensions are 7" x 7" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, always look forward to Friday double days, and these 2 samples are so beautiful, completely different and both deserve their day on the blog. The wreath and robin dies are so beautiful and symbolic for the time of year and the other sample with the simple 'Believe' says it all, thank you so much for sharing with us Sue.
ReplyDeleteStay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue, another fabulous Double Day, love both cards, as they are totally different, one more traditional and the other contemporary and modern, so my favourite has to be the 2nd one. I know the colour combo would not be to everyone's taste, but not everyone does traditional. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHi sue,
ReplyDeleteThere both just stunning! I love that robin die it's so cute, plus you can use that all year round, lovely Christmas cards,

Hi Sue, both cards are beautiful .Love Jean Z xxxx
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Sue. Double days ...... double fun... Thankyou Sue. I love them both. I love the little robin card because of its traditional content......I have two brothers who are both on their own..... so for me the believe one is ideal for them as it strikes me as fitting for the men. So both are ideal for me. Thankyou Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds

ReplyDeleteDoreen R
Wow! Two wonderful cards and I especially LOVE the robin one!!! This die set is already in my wishlist and it's gorgeous on your design with the other dies and the snowy embossing folder!!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, two totally different but equally gorgeous cards. I think I would prefer the second one in navy or red rather than black but that is just me. The robin card has to be my favourite no matter what colour the second one is. Thank you for the inspiration for both cards, I am hoping to make some cards today using Natalie's Poinsettia EF which is stunning.
ReplyDeleteFrances
Love the double days and both these posts are once again gorgeous. Think I prefer the second post but only just...Thanks for sharing and the inspiration

Love and hugs to everyone

Two really amazing Christmas cards Sue, thank you for sharing....luv Ursula xx
ReplyDeleteNice! I particularly like the first one :)
ReplyDeleteTwo stunning cards today. Each lovely in its own style. I am amazed at how delicate is the Faith die. The accent pieces from the Poinsettia Cluster die set will be very useful all year in my cardmaking. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
ReplyDeleteThese are both so pretty. I still don't have the robin or the star wreath...what's wrong with me? Well, I can't have everything unless I win the lottery (not likely) so I will just admire these two gorgeous Christmas cards.
ReplyDeleteEveryone, have a great weekend,

Stunning!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, if you could make anoher card with the cute little robin from card 1 and the vellum poinsettias from card 2 ...... you will have cracked it as we all love bits and pieces from both cards.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I love the first one as I have those dies which you have used.
Enjoy your weekend. Hugs xx Pauline in S.A.
Such a lovely combination, l think the Robin is my favourites, maybe!
ReplyDeleteHi Sue Two fabulous cards I love the way you've created a wreath out of the pine cones & branches in the first card

ReplyDeleteHi Sue. Love both of the cards today but I particularly like the first one which has all the elements of a frosty winters day. Love the star wreath die, I don't know why I haven't got that one yet as it was definitely on my wish list somewhere along the way.

Sorry if this comes through twice as it seems to get lost signing in
I love how Natalie’s shape and radiating lines amplify the sentiment. The star frame seems to take on a role as a rustic fence protecting the elegant Natalie.
ReplyDeleteDonita
Two wow cards today - loving the black and gold and the square star wreath always stands out as its so rare to see a wreath that's square. I love the bird and pinecones too so both cards are a real hit for me
