Season's Greetings

Hello crafters!  How about a traditional Gold and White card for today!  I started by cutting four of the Pearly Snowflake border.  I glued two of the together for the top border edge and two for the lower border edge.  I centred them and them cut off the excess on both sides and added pearls as accents.  For the focal elements, I cut the Felicity die in Antique Gold card and white card.  I overlapped them using the white one in back set as a square.  I cut the Anita die in white and layered it up in the centre.  The Season's Greetings shadowed die was cut in gold and added to a white shadow, then glued to the centre of the card.  The card was completed with white and gold mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are
7 1/2" x  8 1/4" in size.    All for now, Sue x

Gorgeous, one of my many go to colour schemes. There's something that says expensive and classic festive beauty with gold and white cards, and today's sample is absolutely beautiful with all my favourite dies which unfortunately don't live with me yet. Today is a day I've not come to terms with as I leave my 50's behind, the only consolation is I know I'll have a selection of your beautiful dies to open. However you're spending your day, hope it's a happy one xxx

Gorgeous and not too daunting to try out. I always have to try to make them a bit smaller for postage. The majority of my Christmas cards this year were made with SW dies and they were the best I've every made as a whole because of it.
Thank you for all you do,
Stephanie K

Hi Sue. What a lovely wintery card - I love that snowflake border. As it doesn't scream Christmas it would make a really great card for any other celebration at this time of year.
