All Is Calm, All Is Bright

Hi crafters!  Here is the other part of the die cut that was used earlier in the week!  I started with a piece of coconut white card  and embossed it with the Diamond Poinsettia 3D embossing folder.  Next I covered a piece of white card with a sticky adhesive sheet and used the inside cutting edge from the Deco Trees Background die set.  I peeled the backing off and glittered it with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  Next I glued the Glittered piece cut from the Deco Trees set (the one that didn't get used in the other card)on top.  I decided not to add it directly to the sticky piece for concern of the other glitter sticking to it.  I cut the All Is Calm sentiment out of Rich Green card and glued it to the centre of the card.  I cut two Classic Poinsettias out of vellum and seated them in the lower right corner.  I added white Evergreen Branches as accents around them.  The card was completed with white and Rich Green mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 6 1/2"  x  7 1/2" in size.  

Just a quick mention, but Jamie Rodgers has kindly invited me to do a demo on his 8:15pm Create and Craft show tonight!   I get to use the dies from my Endless Options Collection finally!   I do hope that you will be able to tune in and see it! All for now, Sue x

  1. Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, what a stunning card with the Green, it really does look like 4 Christmas trees in each corner, yes and I have this set too, yiphee.

    Will be watching Jamie's show tonight and your demo, looking forward to that.

    Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

  2. Hi Sue hope all is okay over there with you both, you bet I'll be just one of hundreds all there in your kitchen with you unfortunately it's only virtual but we can wish lol. Your new dies tell me you've been rather busy, there are so many and I'm so looking forward to seeing your samples whether its reasonable to buy just yet due to no market plus I've just ordered your cute new festive dies, but I'm really looking forward to the launch.
    Now onto today's beautiful classic clean inspiration, its just that, your 'ghost' flowers placed delicately at the front of your sentiment maybe made with vellum but still pack a punch in their own pretty gentle way. See you all for coffee round at the boss's gaff xxx
    STAY SAFE KEEP CARING AND VIGILANT xxx💖

  23. A lovely card today, that green glitterbitz is so vibrant, really draws the eye. Thank you Sue.
    Looking forward to seeing you on our screens tonight!
    I have inadvertently seen (I try not to & like to wait for your demos) your new collection but I’m sitting on my hands until you reveal them one by one. I like to see what ideas you have for each die, it’s difficult just looking at pictures of dies!
