Hello crafters! I thought it was about time to start sharing a few Christmas cards with you! I started with a piece of
Ruby Red card and used the
Stained Glass mask. I used
Apple Red Luna Paste through it and set it aside to dry. The Luna Paste is a chunky sort of mica but it gives a really reflective background. I cut it into three sections and added mounting and put them on a piece of white card. Next I cut the
Marilynne die in white and added a
vellum backing to it. I glued it to the background (behind the white card areas). I cut the
Merry & Bright out of red and added a black drop shadow, then added the die shadow in white and put it in the centre of the
Marilynne die with foam mounting. I cut two vellum poinsettias using the outer die from the
Triple Layer Poinsettia set and added them in the corner. I used the
Evergreen Branch cut out of white as an accent. 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

Hi Sue. It's not until you show us the closest up photo can you actually see the pattern within the background so it's a double whammy - the gorgeous sparkle the Luna Paste gives then the gentle look of the stained glass showing beneath. What more can you ask for - a full collection of designer festive cards to see you through the season. Have a lovely day whatever your plans xxx
Hello Sue, a really gorgeous card, love the background with the Red Luna paste, perfect for festive cards. Have a great day everyone. Bx
Hello Sue and all
Triptych and lots of bling plus poinsettias, everything in one card, love it and the beautiful Marilynne die too, another one that has sat lonely while I recover, nearly there !!
Merry and bright is such a lovely sentiment, really like this one Sue
Hugs

Hi Sue, beautiful festive card , I love how you have used the Luna paste looks lovely and rich. Take care Vi.x
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, we can never have too many Christmas samples and this is a real sparkly one to kick this off, the close up photo's give a lot more of the detail and I suspect that in real life this is going to be a real talking point on anyone's mantle piece this year. You can never have too much sparkle is what I say. thank you Sue xx
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxxx
Beautiful festive card. x
Hi Sue
Oh wow - what a ‘stunner’! Everything about this card screams perfection.
Christmas in July??!! I will have you know that you are one of the only people who can get away with mentioning the C word this early in the year! In my world November is the time when the subject is up for discussion. Lol x
The skies are grey and the temperature has dropped. Thank goodness. I am even excited at the prospect of a rain filled day.
Happy Friday everyone x

GoodMorning Sue and all
Such a stunning card this morning and at first glance I thought it was glitter card until I see that you have created the background with a mask and Luna paste. By creating the three panels give the whole design depth . Its always a pleasure to see your Christmas cards and your ideas.
Crafty hugs to all , Wendy
Yay Christmas cards. This one is beautiful Sue.

Morning Sue, lovely to see a Christmas card again and love the luna paste background. Love Jean xxx
Good morning Sue,
It's never too early for Christmas cards in my opinion. This one is striking and very pretty.
I'm hoping to be able to get back into my craft cabin now the horrible hot weather has cooled down, so I'm looking forward to creating some Christmas cards myself. Thank you for the inspiration. X
Hello Sue
What a lovely surprise I always love your Christmas offerings
Good morning Sue.
A beautiful, cheerful card this morning and really makes me wish I had started making cards years ago. I thought I had a bit of everything in my craft room but I don't have Luna paste and I've only recently bought my first masks. I will have to leave this beauty to the experts.
I hope you are well and happy.

Beautiful card, Sue.

A beautiful festive card this morning. However I can’t think of Christmas while we have this heatwave, just too hot for any kind of crafting. Waiting for the rain tomorrow! Thank you Sue.
Good Morning Sue. Wow what a brilliant start to your Christmas samples it gorgeous...and that background is stunning. I love looking at your Christmas cards in July....this gives me plenty of time to organise what I will be making....and then sort them into categories ...ie...family...friends...line dancers....and neighbours. Think thats the lot. Whew. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Hi Sue
Yeah Christmas Friday at last and what a fabulous card to start it, love the background you’ve created with the mask and Luna paste. I have half of Christmas cards made and looking forward to all the inspiration to make the other half. Sorry I didn’t get to comment on yesterday’s card but the day ran away with me but just had to say what a gorgeous card it was.
Love and hugs to everyone

A very festive and beautiful card design today. I LIKE it!!! Surprised the Luna paste is so chunky. Pleased you showed a close up of the mask. Your Evergreen Branch is on my wish list. I like that it has very fine branches.
I love this card, Sue. Red and white cards at Christmas really do it for me and I love the way you have added the sparkle to this one.

Hi Sue, this card is gorgeous and I love it. I have been promising myself that I would make a start on my Christmas cards since the beginning of the month but what with one thing and another I haven't so I am really happy to see the start of your samples as it will give me the kick and inspiration I need to get started - just keep them coming :-)
