Season's Greetings


Hello all!  This will be my final single Christmas card post, but I really liked this one so I saved it for last!  I started by cutting the Ruffled Edged Christmas Frame out of white card.  I backed it with Ruby Red to show through.  I did the same thing with the smaller rectangle die in the set, cut it in white and backed it in red, then I cut the centre out of it to create a thin frame.  For the inside of the frame, I cut the centre die as the background and used the scalloped one to cut an aperture in it.  I recessed the decorative version into the aperture and added a white backing to it.  I cut the Season's Greetings sentiment in red and added it to a white shadow backing and glued it in the centre of the card.  Using the top two layers from the Triple Layered Poinsettia to cut an open flower, I cut several to create a couple of flowers.  I used spray glue then coated them with glitter before assembling them.  I attached them into the corner and used the decorative leaves from the set cut out of white card as accents.  I added a thin satin ribbon bow as an embellishment.  The card was completed with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x  8" in size.

My absolute favourite Christmas song is the David Bowie/Bing Crosby version of Little Drummer Boy.  It is followed by a close second of Greg Lake's version of  I Believe In Father Christmas.  I could listen to both of these all year round! LOL   All for now. Sue x

  2. Good to know your favourite songs Sue also, to be honest it's not my favourite time of year but I love the crafting products and really enjoy making Christmas cards!
    There is no escaping the festivities and just wish sometimes for a White magical Christmas personally, like the weather perhaps should be in Winter? wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New year xx let's hope it's a good one! as one of those songs go... x

  3. A lovely sample and song choices. As I thought as soon as I read through the song choices yesterday I remembered so many beautiful festive songs and agreed with most, so it seems I have about 6 favourites and like your festive inspiration I could look at them every day and there's that gorgeous die I can't wait to use when the madness returns to normality. The pop of red is just so lovely to highlight the border and your floral element is just adorable Sue.
    Sending love and hugs to our Australian friends and to anyone that reads the post today xxx

    Good morning Sue and all.
    What a lovely card to end the Christmas card season and how exciting will it be to press forward to a NEW YEAR.I think that my final purchase of the year will have to be the ruffled edge one as she has proved her versatility more than once for sure.

    Have a great day.

  14. Morning Sue,
    Sorry that I didn't comment yesterday as I was out very early to visit my sister's family as we won't be together over Christmas and it was late when we got back but I haven't missed the lovely card that you posted.
    Ive said it before but I can't get enough of your ruffled die cards. I'm so glad that I bought it as it makes such pretty cards.
    Wishing you and all Wil sonettes, a very Happy Christmas. Hugs xx Pauline

  27. A lovely, sharp and clean card mad so by the simple colour choice.

    I love your two music choices. I remember standing a few feet away from Greg Lake at a Hall Ball in Sheffield when The Nice we’re playing before they went into the stratosphere and got too grand for such simple venues. Regrettably, I never saw Bowie Live.

    Have a lovely Christmas where ever you are.

    Christmas greetings to all your blog followers as well.

  34. Lovely card to brighten up a dreary morning here in South Carolina. I love the ruffle die and luckily it is in my collection. I love that it can be used all year and won't it be a pretty addition for a Valentine's card?
    Have a wonderful, dry day,

  35. Hi Sue, a beautiful card for the finale. Love the ruby red card but were you not tempted to use fire red glitter kiss on it? I think I would have found it hard to resist :-)

    Love your two song choices and I hope you get to play them a lot over the holidays.

    What a beautiful card that is so Christmasy in ruby red and white. The Ruffled Edge Frame is certainly a beautiful die no matter how it is used. The Poinsettia look so magical and festive coated in glitter.

    Have a wonderful day.
