Good Sunday morning all! I really like this simple Christmas card design, I hope you do too! I started by cutting the Ruffled Edged Christmas Frame into a piece of coconut white card. I backed it with a sticky adhesive sheet and another piece of coconut white card. I used Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz on the remaining exposed adhesive for a bit of bling. Next, I used the Triple Layered Christmas tree die and cut three of them. I used Khaki green card for the top layer, a lighter shade of green (from my stash) for the middle layer and white for the bottom layer. I attached them to the card slightly overlapping, then added a gold star to the top of the lower tree. Using the It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year sentiment cut out of antique gold card, I glued several together and added it to the upper portion of the card. The card was completed with white and gold mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 3/4" x 8" in size. Time for another question! Given the season, I thought it would be appropriate to ask what is your favourite Christmas song (or two)? Can't wait to see what you say! All for now Sue x
Hi Sue. There's that Ruffled Edge again and I'm thrilled to say I'm now a proud owner as from last week, it makes the perfect 'border' for the majority of your designs as today's inspiration shows, a beauty way to start out Sunday whilst we keep our Australian friends in our thoughts.
ReplyDeleteA favourite festive song - that's a tricky one as I'm absolutely useless at remembering song titles until I hear them lol. Last Christmas by the latest George Michael is one, and I know I have a couple more that a lot of us here will choose only then will it kick start my memory lol.
Whatever your plans for today hope it's a lovely day xxx
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA beautiful seasonal card.
I’m not great when it comes to music, but Bing Crosby singing White Christmas always makes me feel Christmassy!

Morning Sue.
ReplyDeleteThank you another lovely card.
Sue I just cannot pick a favourite Christmas song, or carole.
I love to see the little ones singing the traditional ones.
How about when Santa got stuck up the chimney and, I saw Mummy kissing Santa Clause last night.
Sue take care and have lots of fun Kitty.
Good Morning Sue and all the Wilsonettes
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful card today, lovely for Christmas I love the ruffled edged die I definately need to get it.
My favourite Christmas song has to be Bing Crosby White Christmas as it always reminds me of my Dad.
Sending love and Healing hugs to all that need them xx
Have a good day all
Love

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteAs I have mentioned many times before I adore your triple layered dies and these Christmas Tree dies are perfect. A gorgeous card x
I love to hear Johnny Mathis’s version of When a Child Is Born. It always brings a lump to my throat. And, I love to hear Christmas Carols sung by a Choir.
What’s your favourite Christmas song Sue?

Hello Sue, fabulous card, love it.
ReplyDeleteThere are so many Christmas songs and carols and like Steph can’t recall all the titles. I do love Believe by Josh Groban from the film Polar Express which I used to watch when the grandchildren were a lot younger and the carol Silent Night

Hello Sue
ReplyDeleteLovely card.I am hoping fingers crossed Santa brings this ruffled edge die. I love Christmas songs but if pushed I would say all I want for Christmas is you. The one that always brings a tear to my eyes is away in a manger sung by children. To all our Australian friends stay save
Another lovely card Sue and hard to believe that by this time next week Christmas will be over and a New Year, even a New Decade will be just around the corner. I wonder what you have in store for us.
ReplyDeletegetting back to today's card, I like the positioning of the trees that shows them off so well.
I have to say that I don't listen to music much any more because of my deafness but Bing Crosby singing White Christmas would be my first choice.
Have a great day.
Marie P.
Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, another beautiful creation, and I have that die set, so you have inspired me to make some for next Christmas, thank you.
ReplyDeleteI have 2 favourite songs for Christmas, the first is 'Silent Night', the second is 'Once in Royal David's City' are you going to tell us yours Sue.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue, a lovely card this morning, so simple but so beautiful. My favourite Christmas song would have to be “ Deck the Hall with boughs of Holly”
ReplyDeleteBarbara V
Wonderful card Sue xx Hazel
ReplyDeleteStunning card Sue
ReplyDeleteI’m a bit like the rest in I’m hopeless at remembering titles O Come All Ye Faithful is a favourite carol When I was little my dad used to sing it in Latin At 7/8 years old I thought he was so clever
Christmas is a bittersweet time of year but I do like Fairytale of New York by The Pogues (is that the right name) and the one by Paul McCartney where the video shows a truce during the war and they play football/ mind gone totally blank re title- shall I sing it for you Nooooo! You won’t want that
Just found it on YouTube - Pipes of Peace
DeleteWe definitely need a bit of that these days
Hi Sue - I love the simplicity of this card, such great dies and the colours look lovely together. My favourite song at Christmas is Let it Snow and Silent Night always gives me a lump in my throat. Look forward to knowing yours. Sending best wishes

Good Morning Sue. What a lovely Christmas tree die. This must have been one I missed when my brother was ill...or one that didn't sink in. But I love this card.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite songs is Driving Home For Christmas. I always think of our troops and soldiers on their way home to see their families. My Son was in the army for 25 years and he told me he used to sing this while travelling home on Christmas leave. What's yours Sue. I love your little questions where we can all join in.
Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.
Beautiful card Sue. Mary's Boy child would be one of my favourites
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, beautiful card. Love those trees, think I have used them on lots of my cards this year. Love Jean xxx
ReplyDeleteForgot to say my favourite Christmas song must be It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas and Dreaming of a white Christmas, but that makes me cry for some reason! xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, a really lovely card, the layered tree die cuts look fabulous. Whenever I can I watch the Christmas music channels. I love Christmas carols too, but I really love Fairytale of New York by the Pogues. Have a good day everyone. Bx
ReplyDeleteHello Sue, a beautiful card depicting Christmas completely.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas songs, well a few really, a lovely choir singing in the background, silent night ant the wonder Jonny Mathis singing a child is born. Like many a few bring tears to my eyes . Xx
Hi Sue,
ReplyDeletethat´s a beautiful card today.
My favourite songs are "It´s December" from Audrey Hannah, "Fairytale of New York" from The Pogues and Kirsty Maccoll… and I like "Driving home for Christmas" from Chris Rea.

Hi Sue beautiful card and fabulous dies. Thanks Helen xxx
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and I love your Christmas tree, I wish you would do a tree every year, the same way you do an angel.
As for Christmas songs there are so many but here are a few, Santa Claus is coming to town, Winter Wonderland and Rocking around the Christmas tree. For Christmas carols I love Silent night, O Come all Ye Faithful and Oh Christmas Tree. Look forward to reading your choices
Love and hugs to everyone
Pat
Really lovely card and a good one for batch making.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas song is Driving Home for Christmas by Chris Rea. It reminds me of my years spent living in Ireland but I would always come home to my family in Wales for Christmas and play that song on the way. We’re back in Wales permanently now but my hubby still works in Ireland so when I pick him up from the airport on the last Friday before Christmas I play it then too!
Have a very merry Christmas Sue, I look forward to increasing my collection of dies in 2020!

Simple but effective card.
ReplyDeleteI don’t really have a favourite Christmas song but, call me soppy - I love to hear very young children singing Jingle Bells! My grandson is two and sings it at the top of his voice!
Doreen R
Love this Christmas tree makes a simple but real Christmas card. Thank you Sue.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Christmas songs are Mary’s Boy child & silent night, also like Driving home for Christmas. Will be interested to see your choice tomorrow Sue.
Hi Sue, I love this clean and crisp card with just a bit of bling, beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI love almost all Christmas songs and find it very hard to narrow it down but here goes.
Of modern songs I like Fairytale in New York by the Pogues & Kirsty MacColl and Last Christmas by George Michael. Traditional carols - O Little Town of Bethlehem and Silent Night, but I think my overall favourite has to be White Christmas by Bing Crosby as Christmas doesn't start for me until I have watched the film!
Frances
Mine is a Christmas carol, 'Oh holy child of Bethlehem', but I love all the carols, the only part of Christmas I do enjoy....lovely card Sue...luv Ursula xx

ReplyDeleteLovely festive card Sue, love the trees!! My favorite Christmas song is Waiting For Christmas To Come by Johnny Reid.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Card today.
Driving home for Christmas and Silent night and White Christmas,
oh dear there are so many Sue. I love Christmas even if it's a
sad time too when so many aren't with us anymore. We light a candle
for them on x-mas eve when we have our Christmas lunch.
Hugs to all, Maria x
Last Christmas Wham for me and Walking in a Winter wonderland , Deck the Halls x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue. What a lovely Christmas card again today. I really must learn to stop trying to put as much as I can onto my cards as you have proved that the simpler cards are so much more classy.
ReplyDeleteOne of my favourite Christmas songs has got to be Good King Wenceslas as he was King of Bohemia and as both my parents were from old Czechoslovakia I will always have a soft spot for this one.
Lisbeth
A lovely card. I like Last Christmas by Wham! X
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteThe Ruffled Edged Christmas Frame is such a beautiful die set and provides the perfect frame for any card whether it is cut into the card or out of the card. It looks lovely glittered here framing your little trees and sentiment.
I think my favorite Christmas song is "When A Child Is Born" performed by Michael Ball and "O Holly Night."
One of the things I do on Christmas Day is to go to the hospital where I worked for so many years and give Christmas cards I have made throughout the year using your beautiful dies to those patients who have no family or visitors on Christmas Day. It's such a humbling experience that something so small can bring a smile to someone's day.
Have a wonderful day.
Beverly
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card.
My absolute favourite song at Christmas is “All I want for Christmas is you” by Mariah Carey. Coming in at a very close second is Don Estelle’s Christmas album. His voice was divine. Sadly missed.
I also love Oh Holy Night sung by a Welsh men’s voice choir. Stunning.
Have a great Christmas everyone.
Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteI love today’s Christmas offerings brilliant design and colour combo
My favourite Christmas song has to be Driving Home For Christmas. But I do like a bit of George Michael and Last Christmas
You Take care my friend
Theresa G
A very beautiful design to allow me to reminisce the Christmas seasons past. I can almost smell the evergreen pine scent. This year my favorite Christmas song is "What Child is This?"
ReplyDeleteHugs
Very pretty design.
ReplyDeleteI love Christmas Carols.
