Joyful
Hello crafters! I selected a silver background for today's card. I used the Scalloped Snowflake Border and cut it twice out of white card. I glued them to the top and bottom of the card. I used the extra dies in the set and added a silver and a black piece to help define the borders. I cut the Joyful sentiment in both silver and black and shadowed it then added it to a white shadow backing. I used mounting foam to attach it to the centre of the card. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 9 1/4" in size.
The November die release will be launching here tomorrow morning at 6am. I hope you can join us back here then! All for now Sue x
Hi Sue. Like Helen mentioned, this beautiful image looks like a pistachio/silvery green on my screen, but no matter what colour you used, it's absolutely stunning, it's a die I missed earlier in the year when I wasn't well, but believe you me it on the list, and now we have another exciting launch to look forward to. Hope you are both well. Love to all that visit today xxx
Hello Sue This is a beautiful card I don't have this die but I do have the poinsettias scalloped die which is lovely. Looking forward to tomorrow. Take care everyone x
Morning Sue I don't have this particular sentiment, but it would look just as pretty with the Just Because sentiment which I won in your last die launch. Looking forward to seeing what you'll be tempting us with tomorrow!. Crafty Hugs, Pauline x
Good morning Sue, A truly beautiful card today, I love your beautiful dies as they all come together to create beautiful cards. Looking forward to seeing what you have for your new launch. Yvonne xx
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh my goodness I love this one and I have already made it, using a different colour the dies are amazing and it is one of my most favourite cards of this collection, thank you xx

Good morning Sue. Ohhh this took my breath away when I opened up this morning. I absolutely love it.I don't have that border you have used but I have a scalloped trellis very similar to this one. I am going to have a play later today after my line dance class. I just hope it turns out as nice as yours. Thankyou Sue Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds Please stay safe and well 🙏
To start with I also thought it was a very pale green, not a colour I would have chosen but I love it! Then I read it was silver so I bet this looks stunning in real life. Thank you Sue. Ooh more goodies for my Christmas list no doubt! Looking forward to tomorrow.
A stunning card love the silver colour but I’m sure it would look gorgeous in any colour. The scalloped border is very pretty too. Looking forward to tomorrow.
Hi Sue, I love this card and it was the first one that I made when I received the die. I too thought that it was green and I used a pale sage green card which looks lovely but now I see that you made it in silver I will be making another in the same vein. Looking forward to the launch tomorrow.
Very pretty Christmas card this cold morning. I am trying to adapt some of your designs to 5X7 as I need to mail my cards and our postal service decided to hit us with higher prices before the holidays. Hope everyone is safe & warm this morning, Stephanie K

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteThis card is truly elegant and reminds me of a style we call BIEDERMEIER which was in vogue around 1820's.
