With Love At Christmas

 Hello crafters!  I started today's card by embossing a piece of white card with the Padded Quilt Embossing Folder.  I cut a wide oval frame using the Double Pierced Ovals.  I added mounting foam to raise it and added it to the centre of the card.  Using the Poinsettia Corners, I cut two of them in white.  I cut the extra flowers in red and the leaves in green and added them to each of the corners.  I attached the corners in the upper left and lower right of the frame.  I cut the With Love At Christmas sentiment out of both antique gold and black.  I used the black die cut as a shadow behind the gold one and glued it to the inside of the frame.  I added small white pearls to the embossed background as accents.  The card was completed with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/2"  x  8 3/4"  in size. 

The July Halloween Die Release Blog Launch is starting here tomorrow morning at 6am.  Hope to see you here then!   All for now, Sue x

    Hi Sue.
    Such beautiful inspiration In July, the kind of design I'd keep for the extra special people in my life.

    I'm afraid I may not be around tomorrow as I'm going in for more surgery on this thing on my neck that's taken over our life since last November. It's a bigger surgery this time, looking for nasty Mr C so I'll be back when my anaesthetised brain cell sees clearly.
    Good luck for the launch, I ALWAYS, well almost always manage to be in hospital when a launch happens, you and I need words Ms Wilson lol.
    Love to all.
    Stay safe and well xxx

    Hi Sue

    A really gorgeous card. As you know I have all the ingredients for this….except for that beautiful embossing folder….I will have to order it. It really enhances the card, especially with all the little pearls on. Just beautiful.

    Looking forward to the launch tomorrow.

    Steph, wishing you all the very best for tomorrow. Let’s hope they don’t find Mr C! Hurry back as you will be missed. x

    Love Helen xxx

    Hi Sue. I am sorry I forgot to comment on this post yesterday on this beautiful card. Love the poinsettias but I particularly love the embossing folder you have used for the background and, with the addition of all those pearls, it makes it even more special.
