Hi bloggers! We are getting down to the last four double days of the year! I thought I would start this one off with a bright and cheery card. I started by embossing a piece of coconut white card with the
Falling Snow folder. I pulled out my
Double Pierced Squares and made a multi layered frame with a white base and a thin black edge to it. Next I cut the
Triptych Window in black and glued it on to a piece of
acetate. I used the
Crystal Tints to fill in the mosaic areas on the window. I randomly applied them , allowed the dry, then went back in for a second coat and set it aside to dry overnight. I cut another window to add to cover any spots where the tint may have gotten on top of the die cut. I added a white backing to make the colours really pop. I cut the
Eve die in white and seated the window on top of it in the top of the frame area. I cut the
Happy Christmas sentiment and glued it to a wide
Pierced Flag and attached it below the window. I made two glittered
Poinsettias and seated them opposite the sentiment tag. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8" x 8 1/4" in size. Scroll down for card number two.
Card number two started with a piece of ruby red card. I used the
Nordic Christmas mask and applied
Red Glitter Kiss through it. I allowed it to dry well then used the
Double Pierced Circles to cut an aperture in it. I cut the
Carol die in white and glued it to the circular cut out, then cut the centre out of it. I raised the circular cut out with carol attached to it using mounting foam, then added it back in place. I recessed the centre back into place. I cut the Warm Winter Wishes from the
Snowball Frame die set and glued it in the centre of the card. I made three glittered white poinsettias and seated them around the circle. I added a line of
dries clear glue around the edge of the background and added
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz and allowed it to dry. The card was completed with white and red mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue, two absolutely fabulous cards for Double day today. Love them both, but my favourite has to be the red and white. For some reason this year I am leaning towards traditional colours for Christmas. Have a great day everyone. Bx
No favourite today,both are gorgeous.
Morning Sue.
Two beautiful cards, thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hello Sue both are lovely cards. I love the stained glass effect and the traditional red card using my namesake. Lucky me having one of your dies with my name. Xx
Morning Sue, love both of these cards and have made a few with the window die. Love the stained glass effect. Love Jean xxx
Stunning cards Sue, the top one wins for me its the gorgeous colours xx hazel
Hi Sue. I love the idea of all the different backgrounds and beautiful shades and mixtures of stained glass behind the window die, but that's as far as my crafty imagination takes me, I don't have the knack, knowledge or know how to think outside the box or see what others see when they look at a die, so although I like your first festive sample, the second is just me. The mask you've used to highlight the centre Carol die and your signature flowers is just such a pretty festive sample and of course, a die is not just for Christmas, but looks great on a Christmas gift list 😉 so yes Sue you've caught my eye with your gorgeous bright red inspirational beauty.
Enjoy your day whatever you do wherever you are xxx
Two stunning Christmas cards today-can’t choose a favourite.
Michele
Good Morning Sue and all
YAY its double Friday and have to say both cards are stunning . I do love the effect you have created for the Triptych Window with the crystal tints to make a stained glass window.
On the second card I love the colour red and the glitter kiss popping out from the background. You know its a Sue wilson card when you see the poinsettias.
Crafty hugs to all... Wendy

Good morning Sue,
Two beautiful cards today & I love the stained glass windows.Yvonne xx
Hello Sue, have been away for the last week so have a few posts to catch up on.
Today's cards are both fabulous. I love the stained glass with the crystal tints but I also love the second card and how you have created the centre of this card.
Marion S x
Good morning Sue,
Two stunning designs that have lovely bling details. If pushed for a favourite it would have to be the first, purely because of the vibrancy of the crystal tints. X
Hi Sue, two colorful cards today. Both very beautiful. Think I would choose the second one as my favourite.
Barbara V
Two lovely cards Sue, think the second one is my favourite. Thank you, have a good weekend.xxx
Morning Sue,
I do like the stained glass card but that's probably due to the fact that I've got that particular die, but I also like the red and white one.
Not many twofers left now. Hugs xx n
First one for me as I love mosaics and stained glass effects so that gets my vote. x
Hi Sue - two stunning Christmas cards. The first one is beautiful but the second one is my favourite - I don't use much red card but I do like the richness of the red you have used with the glitter kiss. Thank you for giving us yet more brilliant ideas.

Good Morning Sue
Love the 2nd card best but a lot of work in the 1st one!
Love Marg
Two lovely cards today. No favourite.... like them both equally.
Teresa
Hello Sue,
Love these double day Fridays. Both cards are lovely but my favorite is the red one. I love what you have done with the center - cutting it out, adding foam tape, and then adding it back to its original position. The photograph just is not able to capture how stunning it must be it person.
Have a wonderful day.
Beverly
Good Morning Sue. Two beautiful stunning cards today Sue. Both bright and cheery..... just like the beautiful weather outside today. Cold but sunny and bright making a lovely change from the last week when it was dark and miserable. Please don't ask which I like the best. They are both lovely offerings for today.... and I don't think I could choose one before the other. Thankyou Sue. Sending best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds
Good morning Sue both of these cards are gorgeous. I love them both. Christmas double days are fantastic with all the inspiration. Have a great day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Two lovely cards, Sue.

Good morning Sue Two fabulous cards I love them both the stained glass colours in the triptych window are amazing but I think my favourite is the second card
I’ve been off the radar for a few days but back to two lovely cards, the second being the nicer to me.

Hello Sue
I do love double Fridays I think the second is my favourite. Most of my Christmas cards are dark blue this year and I can see it would be equally as beautiful in that colour.
Morning Sue,
Two beautiful cards.

Hi Sue, lovely cards. love Jean Z xxx
Hi Sue, both cards are gorgeous and I love the second one because of the red glitter kiss and beautiful poinsettias but I really, really love the first one and do so wish that the Triptych window die had made it to the top of my list - hopefully I can get it for using next year.
Frances
Hi Sue,
Wow, I had forgotten - double-day Christmas!! Now you know, for me it's the second one I really LOVE LOVE LOVE, because of the colors and the die used. The first one is also I admire, but I would not have the patience with coloring the windows.
Hugs, Rose
Hi Sue, two lovely Christmas cards. Both beautiful in different ways.
Beautiful Christmas cards!
Both are lovely, so I have not picked a favourite today ;))
Afternoon Sue and all Wilsonettes, 2 stunning sample today, I never get tired of looking at your work, and you never disappoint me, thank you.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

Festive Christmas cards today. Very nice job on the stain glass. Your combination of red and white colors, textures and die cuts are so perfectly matched for a lovely Christmas card. Great ideas. Thanks for inspiring me.
Love the double days and again two beautiful posts but the first one is my favourite as having seen the triptych used I had to buy when it was launched and think its a fab die...
Hi Sue
Two gorgeous cards today, love the stained glass window of the first but the second is my favourite with the beautiful Carol Die and I’m so glad that I bought her.
Love and hugs to everyone

Two beautiful cards Sue! I have to say I love the stained glass windows, the colours are amazing.
How lovely both of these are. I have been thinking about the first as in could I give it a go? Getting in the mood for Christmas and have nearly enough cards made (most using beautiful SW dies!). I have not tried this with the color tints and it might be time....
Everyone, a wonderful weekend!
