Thinking Of You At Christmas

Hello crafters!  I started today's card by cutting two circle frames using the Double Stitched Circles.  I added mounting foam to the back and attached them in opposite corners of a piece of white card.  I cut one of the Vintage Baubles in Antique Gold card and backed it with gold mirror card.  I added it to the upper frame and added some greenery and pine cones from the Foliage Pieces die set.  I cut the Vintage Bauble also in antique gold card and backed it with gold mirror card and added it to the lower frame.  I used more greenery from the Foliage Pieces die set as an accent.  I cut two poinsettias using the Classic Poinsettia die set.  I cut them out of red card that was glittered with Fire Red Polished Silk Glitter and added them in the lower left corner.  I accented them with green leaves and foliage from the Foliage Pieces die set.  I cut the Thinking Of You At Christmas sentiment out of antique gold card and shadowed it with gold mirror card.  I glued it into the upper right corner.  The card was completed with white, gold and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 8"  x  9" in size.  

I just wanted to let you know that the September Die Release Blog Launch is starting tomorrow morning at 6am.  I hope you will be able to join us back here then!  All for now, Sue x

    This is such a lovely design, obviously you've used white cardstock but if I'm right is it bright white rather than its sister coconut white, the bright white makes everything look clean, fresh and crisp, it's one I always go to when asked for a card.
    It's a difficult time for some so I think today's inspiration is just perfect without going overboard.
    Looking forward to the launch very much.
    I need to thank each one of you that supported me the other day, this blog is so caring full of really supportive crafty genuine people that I love to see every day xxx

  14. Good Morning Sue and all that visit this morning.
    A beautiful crispy clean card ... Almost making us feel like Christmas is here already. I love everything about this. Thankyou.
    Sue... your new launch starting tomorrow ... Please forgive me if I don't make every post on the launch. We are going away on Wednesday for one month so time will be a major factor. But I wish you all the best. Also we are staying in a different hotel this time so I hope the internet/Wi-Fi is better. Whenever I can post ...I will.
    Sending hugs 🤗 and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Please stay safe and well 🙏
    Kind regards Ann Toppcards in Leeds

    STEPH. Great news about your daughter. My sister sends her regards too.
    Fingers crossed all goes well with your appointments. x x

  15. Hi Sue. Love today's card. Such a good idea to put the baubles in their own frames to high light how pretty they are. Nice to add colour with the red and green foliage.

  22. Hi Sue, firstly I must apologise for the absence of a comment yesterday, I loved the card with the not-so-scary skeleton doorman. Today's card is gorgeous, I love the baubles, poinsettias and foliage which together make a beautiful picture. Looking forward to tomorrow and finding out what you have in store for us.

  26. This is a real beauty. I love poinsettias for Christmas cards. They seem to appeal to everyone...a very neutral zone needed sometimes.Beside that, They are so pretty on cards. I have made many,many SW poinsettia featured Christmas cards in the past and am waiting on another new die to arrive.
