Hi bloggers! I have a really sweet Christmas card as this week's giveaway. I am a wreath lover and the
Pine Twigs were just calling out to me to make a wreath with them! I started the card with a piece of coconut white card that I embossed with the
Nordic Tiles embossing folder to add a bit of texture to the background. I cut the
Ornate Holly Framed Noel die in green and cut an edge of it away to use as a border. Above the border I cut the
Pine Twigs in three shades of green card (from my stash) and glued them into a circular wreath shape. I made six of the smallest poinsettias from the
Poinsettia Additions set out of red and added them around the wreath with small pearls in their centres. I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the
Pierced Flag die set and added it across the wreath. I made a slightly larger poinsettia and added it to the centre of the border strip. I accented it with bits of
Berry Sprigs cut in white. The card was completed with a white on white pierced mat and layer. The finished dimensions are 6" x 7 1/4" in size. Leave a comment to be included in the drawing for this one. The winner will be announced on Saturday's blog post. All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous Wednesday giveaway card, someone will get a special early Christmas present.
Steph, you do have a lovely son in law, how special to watch Lotties first steps, I can't believe how much time has passed since she was born.
June, you are funny, keep up the good work.
Tracey, hope the counselling went well, it is a good idea to try a small therapy group, it may help.
Elaine, I hope Andrew feels a bit better, he doesn't want to feel like this when going in for next session. Big hugs for him and you.
Tina, hope Peter is feeling stronger, sleep is a good thing, hugs for you both too.
Norah, haven't seen you for a while, hope you are okay, family too.
The river view at work is lovely, there is an old wooden galleon type ship moored opposite the building, in the summer, there are lots of swans and the Uni rowing teams go past all of the time.
Donuts, good idea to fund the retirement selling cards. Good luck with your project.
Hugs to all on this wet chilly morning.
What a beautiful card to be giving away to one very lucky winner. Gorgeous.
Happy crafting.

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

One of my favourite cards love it Sue.
Good morning Sue.
What a beautiful card, fresh and very striking-someone is going to be very lucky! X
Morning Sue. It really is a sweet card. I love love love the Nordic Tiles folder, it reminds me of a cosy warm jumper that needs snuggling into, or a cushion cover, it's a very modern design in knitwear or soft furnishings at this time of year, but better than that it's a terrific folder for men's cards too, along with the falling snow it was my go to folder for the background of my cards. Now all the homemade stress and panic has passed I will be able to play and experiment more like you encourage us to do with backgrounds and I'm looking forward to trying and growing in confidence - pixie powders - here I come.
It's a real beautiful, colourful, happy giveaway this Wednesday and it will be loved by anyone that is lucky enough to be chosen to enter the W.W.C (Wednesday Winners Club) ☺
Sending my usual hug to you Sue as a thanks for being you. Have a lovely day xxx

A gorgeous card I love the wreath style and a slightly smaller card too xxx
Morning Sue and crafters all,
What a lovely idea making the twig wreath, looks so pretty with the tiny poinsettia around it, versatile the die frame just for a border.
Pam - yes your office view sounds great, hope the cough is not troubling you. My last office view was the outer wall of a shopping centre or the surgery waiting room.
June Smith - hope you have got your card made, enjoy your craft club. Keep the physio going.
Peter had a good sleep yesterday and as he was asking what he could drink, he asked for Mackison stout. Made another stew and he ate that.
Love and crafty hugs to all

Pam, Your office view sounds lovely in the summer .
Tracy , i was thrilled to read your session went well .xx
June , Why is everything set so high ? seems they don't cater for the shorter person any more ,i hate having to get on the Drs couch it is so high up and not very wide either grrrrr.
Crewe Trish , Andrews treatment should end in March , he was talking to a nurse last week who seemed to think he will have 12 Treatments and not 13 as Andrew first thought , he will ask his consultant tomorrow, it will be his 6th treatment on Friday all being well , lets hope he is at the half way stage ?
Lyndas crafts, oh i know how you feel all Sues lovely new dies and i just drool and wish i could have them all.
I often wish we could get dies like Library books , just borrow and take back to exchange when we have had enough use out of them , oh well i can always dream.
Take care everyone and big hugs to all.

Morning Sue,
What a beautiful Card! I've completely lost track of the days this week so totally forgot it was giveaway day today. I blame the kitten...I was convinced that his surgery was on Thursday instead of yesterday, so of course my stupid brain is now thinking it's Friday lol. A y way, my little whirlwind is just fine with no ill effects from his ordeal, thank goodness. Let's hope that's the only major thing he has to go through in his life.

Hi Sue, a beautiful Christmas card. Decorated with a pine twig wreath and gorgeous poinsettias.
Hi Sue, how do you keep doing this? As if last week's giveaway was not gorgeous enough you now have to show us this beautiful card. I love the delicacy of the pine twigs creating the wreath and the sweet poinsettias. I must add the Nordic EF to my list as it seems to work so well with all the seasonal dies. I have lucky dips for tonight's rollover, please can I have some luck then I could get all of Sue's dies that I want/need!

What a great card you are giving away. The wreath made from a twiggy die is so effective. Thank you very much.
A beautiful Christmas card for some lucky winner's mantel. The first thing I noticed was the border and thought I didn't recognize that new border. Love that it came from another die.The wreath is very eye catching also with the added depth the multi colors give it. Thank you for sharing so many wonderful creations with us.
Everyone have a great Wednesday!

Awesome card in Christmas colors. I have been using your poinsettia die cut flowers on my Christmas cards this year. So far I have made thirty triple layered flowers cut out of velum. Wish I had ordered two sets of the Additional Poinsettia die sets to shorten my time die cutting all those layers of the poinsettias. LOL. The flowers are beautiful.
beautiful!! love the wreath and the colors!
What a wonderful card! It has everything I like in a Christmas card, not that I'm fussy or anything!! :) Whoever wins this card is going to be very lucky.
