Hi crafters! I did struggle getting the colour on this one to come out, so just for reference, it is powder pink, white and a sort of deep wine colour card (from my stash). I started with the pink card and cut the
Anna die into it. I used the wine as the middle colour and cut the second die and added a piece of white as the backing once I glued the layers together. I added a white frame around it then added it to a larger piece of wine card and added another white frame around the whole piece. I used the centre die from the
Anna set and reversed the order of the top two colours and seated it in a diamond orientation in the middle. I cut the
Sending Hugs in wine with a pink shadow and seated them in opposite corners on the outer frame. The card was completed with white, pink and wine mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size.
The Christmas 2019 die release blog launch starts here tomorrow morning at 6am and runs for the next nine days. I hope you can join me here then!

Morning Sue.

Fabulous card Sue. Wow is it that time already, looking forward to the launch xx Hazel
Looking forward to the die launch, it's always great to see new things and gather inspiration. x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, stunning, just stunning, love the colour choices too, and the drop out from the middle of the die makes perfect little tiny petals to make a small flower.
Looking forward to the Christmas release blog launch and seeing all your samples.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Good morning Sue. Firstly, hope your birthday was as special as you deserved and how wonderful to see SO many "happy birthdays" here waiting for you its been far too long since we saw 90+ comments left (unless it's launch time) it would be the best thing ever if it continues after launch, it must have given you the biggest smile just as you do for us every day, today being no exception. Wow Sue the colours go perfect together just beautiful and the close up helps with that. I know you designed this collection so we'd kind of expect you to show them at your best lol but you really show them to perfection. A stunning sample from start to finish.
I noticed C&C have a one day wonder with your April frames and tags release but the synopsis actually doesn't or didn't mention it was your collection of dies so some people may miss recording or watching like I almost did had I not have seen the post of Facebook.
I'm looking forward to your launch especially all the samples you had to do whilst the sun was starting to heat up lol.
Whatever your plans have a great day and keep those nerves at bay, we already have our lists and have pre-ordered so you have nothing to be worried about lol xxx
Hi Sue
The colours look gorgeous - so pretty. Anna looks wonderful and the sending hugs sentiment is delightful.
Your Christmas die release has got to be the only time I would ever get excited about Christmas when it is still only June!
Happy Wednesday everyone

Hope you had a fab birthday. Your layering dies are just beautiful, I have a few and the make cards just that one step better. I hate Christmas so early except when they are your dies. How on earth do you think of different designs for each of your launches, I've said it before but you are the best designer I have seen. You make us all better crafters.

Thank you for sharing.

Morning Sue, Hope you had a fabulous day yesterday. Really looking forward to your Christmas launch tomorrow. Have pre ordered one or two (or 3 or 4) as I was determined to add the Angel to my order as have been collecting them from day one. Can't wait to see your sample cards.
However, back to today's beauty. Anna looks fabulous, especially in those colours.
Well, it's back to the decorating (worse luck), so no crafting for me today. Hugs xx Pauline
Good Morning Sue and all
Beautiful card this morning love layers and the shades of the colours popping through . Anna shines beautifully on the design and love how you have also created with background.
Really looking forward to seeing your new dies for Festive collection.
Crafty hugs to all , Wendy
Hi Sue, Very pretty card. love Jean Z xxx
A very good morning to you Sue and a belated Happy Birthday.
I love today's gift and the colour combination is superb. I use your colour combinations often as I think my brain must be without the cell it needs to choose them for myself.
I'm a little confused about some of the comments from those who have already seen the dies for your Christmas collection and wonder how to find it on my PC as I don't have a TV
I wish you well Sue.
Marie P.
Hi Sue. I do love the Anna die set and I love what you have made with it here. Great colour choice too. Looking forward to the Christmas launch to see what you have made with the dies.
Lisbeth
Lovely card. I do like the background you have made.
Teresa
Marie. Joanna Sheen plus other websites show you Sue's new festive collection as does Julia's website (not 100% I'd I'm right) but definitely Joanna Sheen. Hope this helps x
Good Morning Sue
First may I wish you a belated Happy Birthday for yesterday and hope you had a lovely day.
I had a really busy day and missed commenting I am afraid.
I love your card for today and also the colour combination too.
Looking forward to seeing your lovely cards for the Christmas release!
Lesley S x
I have used this die over and over - it makes great cards, just like this one. Hard to believe it’s time for the Christmas release but looking forward to seeing all the lovely samples. Hope you had a great birthday yesterday.

Hi Sue
Love this card, must get crafting today stash of cards is running low. I blame the weather gardening has taken preference during the fair weather days.
Heather R Oxfordshire
Morning Sue, I cannot wait to see your inspiration using your Christmas collection. Quite a few companies have details of the dies but it's not until you see your vision of how they can be used that you see them come to life. WakeyL
Very pretty card Sue, I am struggling with my few triple dies I have bought, cannot get them to look neat like yours, a case of keep trying. I so look forward to your new launch of the Christmas dies which I have seen, another amazing set....luv Ursula xx
Lovely card again, Sue. Hope you enjoyed your birthday. Love, Judy M
Hi Sue, a most attractive card and Anna certainly shows herself off perfectly. I hope you had a lovely day yesterday and enjoyed yourself. I really don't want to think about Christmas just yet but unless I start now I will end up rushing at the end so I am looking forward to your launch to inspire me and give me the push I need to get started. :-)
Frances
Hi Sue, Great card I love the colours and lay out . Thanks so much for the inspiration I just wish I could get all the lovely coloured stock . Oh dear got so many of your lovely dies on order :) cant wait to receive them :) Hope you are feeling better . Vi from down under .x
Hi Sue
I hope you had a great birthday! Lovely card. I like how you tease us with different card colours from your stash. I remember wanting that dusky pink you kept using ages ago.
I can’t believe it’s another launch already tomorrow, especially Christmas. However, I’ve been so cold lately it could easily be December!
Going to get ready for a Zumba class soon, that will warm me up!
Looking forward to tomorrow when you bring your new dies to life.
Love Helen xxx
Lovely :)
As most always I love today's card. I especially like it because I have the dies used. You color selection is very appealing also.
Christmas in June to be ready for Christmas in July. It is quite hot here so hard to get into it but I do love to see the dies come to life in your samples. I'll be making my list...
Everyone, a good middle of the week,

Hi Sue,
WOW, this is a card and half. I love the die, and the way you've used it. The frames frame it perfectly.
I shall not be there at 0600 tomorrow, but as soon as I get up, my first action is to open your blog and be prepared to be amazed :-)
Hugs

Different colours but I love them. Such a pretty card.
