Have A Warm And Cosy Christmas

Hello bloggers!  I have a simple but elegant Christmas card to share with you today.  I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the Stylized Poinsettia embossing folder.  Next I used the Decorative Holly Acent set and cut several of the holly fronds out of Khaki card.  I attached them to each side of the card from the top centre point.  I nipped apart pieces off of a second set to add in towards the top.  I added red berries to all of the holly sprays using the extra die in the set.  Next I covered a piece of red card with a sticky adhesive sheet and peeled the backing off and coated it with Ruby Slipper Holographic Glitterbitz.   I cut the bow and the tails from the set out of them for a nice clean line and attached them at the top of the holly sprigs.  I cut the Warm and Cosy Christmas sentiment out of antique gold card twice and stacked them then added one cut out of gold mirror card as a shadow.  I glued it into the open area between the holly sprays.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  8 3/4" in size.  All for now Sue x

  4. Hi Sue. This looked so pretty on screen from your kitchen lol and this is just one reason I need this set, batch makes and gorgeous cards is what we can look forward to with these dies, who doesn't need a quick card at times at that bow - use anytime. I know Donna will love this, it was her favourite at launch I think lol.

  24. Hi Sue and everyone, as Steph said this was my favourite on launch. It is absolutely stunning, I just live everything about it. I am definitely going to pick this up and the embossing folder too. There was another embossing folder that I loved also so I will keep my eye open for that ond too. I'm still scared to go anywhere since being ill with Covid, but as soon as I pluck up courage to go to my local craft shop it will be falling into my basket. I'm so lucky that they stock lots of your products 😍 I'm loving the glitter bits too. Stay safe everyone hugs Donna xx

    Morning Sue,
    Sorry I haven't commented for a while, but spent a couple of days flat on my back. So feeling a little better, I have been catching up on your recent posts. Living those polishes that you used yesterday and the red glitterblitz is lush. Want to start my Christmas cards but patience is a virtue, so I'm told.
    Take care everyone and have a good weekend. Hugs xxx Pauline
