Greetings Of The Season

Hello my crafty friends!  I started by embossing a piece of Old Rose card with the Falling Snow embossing folder.  Next I cut the Snowflake Adjustable frame four times using the largest piece.  I added backing pieces that had sticky adhesive attached to them.  I peeled the backing paper off, attached the decorative snowflake pieces then coated the exposed adhesive with Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz.  I added the four piece with foam to a piece of card that I coated with Moonlit Pink Luna Paste.  I added the piece to the embossed background with foam.  I cut the Greetings Of The Season out of Old Rose card and added it to the matching shadow which I cut in white, then glued the sentiment into the centre o the frame.  I cut the poinsettias from the Decorative Holly Accents set out of Old Rose card.  I made three flowers, then seated them in the corner.  I added the holly pieces around the flowers as accents.  The card was completed with white mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  8"  in size.  All for now. Sue x

  2. Hiya Sue, what a weird coincidence, the snowflake adjustable die is one of the 2 dies I treated my customers to this year, I've not been able to update my festive dies for a while but I pushed the boat out this year as once the payments started arriving for the complete orders it paid for these new treats. So I made an almost replica of today's inspiration, from the falling snow EF (my go to all year) to the old rose cardstock. I used a larger stitched square and used your Happy Christmas die which I adore it's so simple but so classy, and the floral element came from one of your very first die designs - your filigree poinsettia with all the tiny curly Q's it looked really pretty, so thank you for giving me the tools and the knowledge you have given me to enable myself to make people smile during the festive period, I feel I wouldn't be able to give half as much as I do if I'd not found your blog *clears throat* year's ago lol so I have you to be thankful for when I get that text that says "thanks Steph..... loved their card"
    Thank you Sue.

    Good Morning Sue and all.
    I missed commenting yesterday because my PC died on me and I spent most of the day in mourning for it. I had an appointment for the vaccine at 5.35pm so at last I was out of the house and I got my Son to take me to the PC shop.
    Sorry Sue I'm not supposed to be putting my problems on here but I want you to know how much I missed you.
    I love your card for today and would so much like to meet you in person. You are an inspiration to so many and I hope you will continue to be so for many years to come.
    Have a good day.
    Marie P.

    KEEP SAFE KEEP CRAFTING.

  22. I love the dusty rose card stock...so pretty. I have the border dies and used it to make an easel Christmas card this year. This card is lovely and I hope I can make something similar next year.
    Marie, good going on getting your vaccine! We are barely rolling it out in the states but I look forward to getting my arm pricked too.
    Stay safe everyone,
