Hi bloggers! One of my favourite combos today, white on white. I started by cutting a small piece of
coconut white card and embossing it with the
Snowflake Mosaic embossing folder for texture. I used the
Double Pierced Noble square die set to make a thin frame for it and attached it with mounting foam. On the inside of the frame, I cut and assembled four corners cut from the
Snowflake Flourish and Corner die set. I stamped a sentiment and cut it out with the
Pierced Flags die set and attached the edge under the side of the snowflake frame. I cut a single snowflake and added it on the side of the sentiment. Next I cut two of the
Frosty Frames and cut the long sides off of them and attached them around the edge of the raised frame. I added the entire piece to a larger piece of
coconut white card and finished the edge with another thin frame from the same set. Simple white on white mats completed the card. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8" in size. All for now, Sue x

Stunning card Sue. Love it.
Your cards are truly inspirational, I love my daily treat opening the blog each day and done times you give us the doublers shiva gives twice the pleasure. Like any have said, you lift our card making to new heights, make us think outside if the box and try new experiences such as the pixies etc. Tank you for all that you do for us.
Lynne, you sound as if your and your granddaughter have had a fab time, precious memories to carry through the years.
Yvonne, hope you got to see your film with your son, and that your parents arrive safely. Forget the house, nobody notices anyway. Have a lovely time with them all.
Happy belated birthday Steph, you are a sly one lol. Hooe you got your longed for dies, I think Andy will have come up trumps.
Donita, would have loved to see the Penguins, they sound too cute to eat, certainly would make a talking point. Enjoy your party.
Granny Sue enjoy your Christmas NewYear break.
Elaine, hope is well with you and family, short post yesterday. I'm hoping you were just busy.
Daily hugs to all. Thinking of all our poorly and missing friends.
Sue, wishing you and your family, and everyone on the blog, a very Hapoy Christmas, hooe Santa is good to you all.
Good morning Sue. Beautiful card, love the white on white - they scream "elegance".
Stephanie, belated birthday wishes, I'm sure that Andy will have treated you. I still like the idea of a practice present opening though!!!
Princess Pixie, hope you enjoyed the film and that your parents arrive safely. Forget the house, it's people that matter! Hugs to all. Sue xxx
What an absolute stunner. White on white, milk on milk, always add that extra luxurious look to any card, but today's sample is just stunning. The folder behind the borders, the borders themselves - so neat and precise, the dies between the borders all work so beautifully, a lot of pattern and texture on this sample but all made to work together and boy do they. I'm just loving everything about today's stunning inspiration and thank you for sharing.
Sending love and hugs your way and hope whatever your day brings it has a big helping of fun and happiness xxx
Good Morning Sue
A beautiful elegant card it's stunning being white on white.

A really gorgeous card, and white on white again. Can't go wrong!
Hello Sue,
White on white cards are always so elegant and this one is no exception. The amount of detail involved is remarkable in the texture and the die cuts themselves. You inspire us all to go for that extra touch.
Hope that you have a lovely day.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, such a stunning sample today, white on white, lovely - I don't think you can ever go wrong with that combination. Sue you have certainly be given such wonderful comments over the past few days leading up to Christmas, you deserve every single one of them and more, special hugs.
Pam I reiterate all you have said. Just got back from early morning shopping, ours is all done now. Just got to take my son shopping later, he is having a new fridge/freezer delivered this morning, so need to wait however long it takes before you can put any food in it, hopefully it will be today as hubby wants to get it all done and dusted now.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hello Sue and all
Beautiful!!!! Wow, and yet more with the Frosty Frame, I can’t wait to try it as a border too now, it must be the greatest value for money die ever! The white on white is perfect for Christmas cards, it is a shame we are so close to Christmas,really loving your inspiration.
Finally finished cards now, phew, definitely New Years resolution to work during the year next year

Happy Holidays! 🎄🎅⛄❄
Dear Sue and The League of Loyal Wilsonettes,
Just admit it, you ran out of color card and all you have to work with is white!
We all know that can't be true.
Although sometimes, a severe limit can be inspiring.
I like this one, too. Frosty Frame is a friend of mine, and he really shines in this sample.
The penguins apparently got talked about, but they didn't all get eaten, so I took a picture of one and posted it as a reply to a comment on Facebook. Some people, I heard, were afraid that was a marshmallow under those black olives. I missed the party because I hit my snooze button too many times. The penguins weren't at all difficult or painstaking to make. I had a lot of broken wings because the fresh mozzarella balls were too fat for the split olive that had to go over it. Next time I'll trim the cheese to make smaller bellies. Or use cocktail onions. Also next time I'll trim the carrot noses to look a little more beaky. The more I made, the better they got.
It reminded me of the time I asked an artist how to color an orange to make it look spherical and realistic. I had stamped up a bunch of PSX wreaths and wanted to color them nicely for Christmas cards. He wasn't very helpful. He said, "You just make it look like an orange." The more little carrot beaks I cut, trying to make them beaky, the more they started to look like beaks.
That's why I like rubber stamping and papercrafting. You buy things from the real artists, and their designs give you plenty of chances to make something that looks pretty good.
And Sue, as so many others have said, you brought me to a different plane entirely.
My cards went from looking like a third grader made them to looking like an artist made them.. That's because an artist did make them. And that artist is you. You just let us do some of the cutting!
Well, that's not entirely true. Some of the cards I see on Facebook were made by people using your dies, and they've had their own creative ideas and executed them with their own artistry.
Enjoy the festivities, all you with generous hearts.
Love,
Donita
Another stunning and elegant, white on white card.
Hugs to all who need them

Hi Sue,
A vision in pure white simplicity - but...wot, no glitter?.....lol...you gotta have glitter on a Christmas card!
Izzy

Good Morning Sue. Absolutely wonderful and just like walking in a winter wonderland.... that's just how I have felt these last few weeks.... just by visiting your blog.
All your samples have been wonderful and this white on white in no exception. Looking forward to seeing more of your beautiful work right through into the New Year. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Hi Sue,
Beautiful - love white on white, always looks so classy.
But of a rush today - just got back from swimming and then I'm off to hairdressers. Did a record for me today, did my mile swim in 49 minutes, I was so chuffed with that!!
Sending love and hugs to all, Alison xxx
Morning Sue
Oh how gorgeously, frosty and perfect. Just love your Christmas cards. Love ALL your cards but there is something about your Christmas cards that makes me feel all gooey from the inside out x
Not long to wait for Father Christmas now folks. I am still in the process of trying to convince him that I should be on the nice list but I don't think he believes me!
Got the few bits I needed last night before going to the Cinema. The rest of Christmas is being delivered by Tesco on Saturday.
Enjoyed last night. Have to say, I am a bit of a sucker for the original 3 films (which are actually numbers 4 5 and 6). So this was number 9. Bit corny and now they have got to the ninth film the story lines are a little stretched. Sorry if I have offended any super fans! Lovely evening with George and that's what counts x
Diane G - the force can't help me now. It has gone beyond that x
Fluffy - I am passed caring to be honest - told everyone not to touch or write in the dust, that way it is less noticeable! x
Yorkie Girl - there is never any semblance in this house x
Crafty Sue - I hear you - but if there is nowhere to sit down and the bed is hidden under all the stuff that has been dumped on it the people will not be comfortable! Lol x
Myra - Laine and I have not spoken for a while but we have been texting. She is busy trying to get organised like the rest of us. She was having her hair done yesterday and its her nails today. Thing is, being gorgeous doesn't come naturally to everyone like it is does to me!!! Obviously much more effort is required on Laines part. She will be back - just like the Terminator! Lol x
Suppose I better get a wiggle on and swing into action - well more like a shuffle than a swing!
Have a good day everyone. Sending happy thoughts and lots of love to everyone x
Take care
Crafty hugs

hi Sue, lovely card , love Jean Z XXXX
Hi Sue, another lovely Christmas card. White on white with your frosty frame and snowflake corners.
Beautiful card!
Love the white on white combos you show us :))
Just love white on white & this card us no exception. I did some white on white Christmas cards this year which just flew. Must do more next year.Just had to pop in to say sorry for my non appearance just lately. Health problems, but hope to be back before the New year. However I just wanted to say thank you .Sue for all your hard work throughout the year. Can't imagine why your blog isn't No.1 but you are certainly the Topps as far as us Wilsonettes go. I look forward to reading it each day & seeing what lovely creation you havé given us. This year I feel you have tested us giving us lots of shabby chic to experiment with, not to mention those pixie powder backgrounds which are lovely when you do them but not when I do them! Lol! Anyway Sue hope you get the opportunity to relax over the festive season. Wishing you & your family a very Happy Christmas & healthy New Year & the same to all the Wilsonettes. Take care everyone travelling at this time.
Hi Sue and everyone
A beautiful elegant white on white card. Definitely can’t go wrong with white on white, especially using your gorgeous dies!
Love Helen xxx
Wow Sue,

Hi Sue,
A lovely card again today. White on white is just so elegant.

I made all my Christmas cards white on white, cream on cream and craftcard on craft card. I used the same colour for the greeting but now wonder if a contrast would have been better! You have shown me just how it should be done here with this lovely card. xx
Beautiful card Sue. Love all the die cutting.
Love Val in Spainxxx
Hi Sue. Love how you have used the frosty frame die on this card and also love the embossing folder you have used. They have come together to make a really special card for this time of year.
Lisbeth
Layers and textures and beautiful all around. Thank you for sharing your ideas.
Hi Sue, This card is beautiful, I love it, and I also love your use of the 'Frosty Frames' die cuts too.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Good Morning all. I had to check out Wednesdays blog also. Can't believe I was so busy yesterday I missed that lovely card. Pixie Powders...yummy.
Today's card is beautiful, not as colorful as yesterday but another work of art. What wonderful dies that can create so much beauty and then again some like "Cheeky Monkey" much playfulness.
Stephanie C. I loved your pre-Christmas warm up. Birthdays close to Christmas often get over looked but I know that isn't so in your case. Hope all those dies didn't take you too long to get opened.
Donita, your appetizers reminded me of a song we learned in Kindergarten. Penguins are really adorable birds.
Merry Christmas to everyone here on the blog and to all the wonderful folks at Creative Expression.
Have a great Thursday everyone,
Stephanie K
Hello Sue
A truly beautiful card I have loved everything about your beautiful Christmas collection.
Another busy day and I am running late but I hate not leaving a comment so hopefully I can catch up tomorrow.
Hi Sue
I love your white on white cards, so elegant and there is my favourite frosty frame. I have had lots of lovely comments about my Christmas cards made with this wonderful Die and that's all due to you so thank you so much for everything you do for us. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas
Alison so impressed by your mile swim, well done
Sending love and hugs to everyone, I hope you all have a lovely Christmas and Santa brings what you are hoping for, Sues dies perhaps!

Beautiful post, and agree with you that white on white is just gorgeous and so effective.
Hello Sue,
I’m having a bad Internet day again! It’s fine with normal emails but introduce Google and it’s a nightmare!
A really stunningly lovely card today. I don’t have the snowflake corners but I have the Poinsettia corners and the detail is amazing! They just give a different look!
Donita - I meant to mention the penguins yesterday but forgot! I know I know - how could I !! I think they have been unforgettable!! They have been individual little characters with attitude! Well done you for making them!
Yvonne - thanks for the update on Laine! I’m glad she is well enough to keep up her high standards . I know I always feel better if I look ok. Ok is as good as it gets !!!
Izzy - your “Wot no Glitter! “ made me laugh!
Well! I shall go and see if this will post!
If I’d doesn’t - the scream you hear is mine!
Love to all, Myra ( Friend of Maureen,) xx

Hi Sue, late again I'm afraid. Another busy day and I nearly forgot to comment which is awful as your beautiful white on white card gave me the inspiration I needed for a special card that I had to make today. I have 'borrowed' your design but made my card with some of your older dies. Thank you so much for the inspiration. Time to count tails and lock the doors before heading to bed so I will wish everyone a good night and then we will be one day closer to Christmas :-)

Hi Sue,
Any card with Frosty Frame die set (including yesterday card as well) is a winner for me and white on white is pure elegance.
Thank you,Sue, for all amazing Christmas samples and for the daily dose of inspiration. Your creativity is endless.

Lovely card Sue, really like the frosty frame dies they are fabulous, thanks for sharing, hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Another beautiful card Sue. Love it. Thank you for all your hard work and all the wonderful dies you bring us. Happy Christmas to you and yours. Thanks to Pam also for all your comments each day. Echoing them today. Didn’t get to comment yesterday. Like everyone else a very busy day rushing from one thing to another. Happy Christmas to all the people on this wonderful blog. Hugs for all.
Good morning Sue and all Wilsonettes.
I love this card Sue as I love them all. I have never tried white on white as I'm afraid that with my particular visual condition I would not be able to see where one piece ended and another began. I must say that the new lighting I have recently got in my craft room helps a lot and just maybe I may try this in the new year.I have got a 5 foot double tube led light and it's wonderful
Everyone sounds so busy and I'm sure I can hear the sighs of relief from those who have finished their cards in time to mail them.
Hugs to all who need them
Marie P.
Such a beautiful card Sue...luv Ursula xx
