Hello crafters! It's a traditional red and white Christmas card for you today! I started by cutting the
Poinsettia Adjustable Frame die four times out of white card, using the largest size. I cut four matching backing pieces out of
Ruby Red card and glued them together. I cut a piece of white card and embossed it with the
Stylized Poinsettia embossing folder. I added mounting foam to the pieces of the frame, then attached them to the embossed card. I cut a slightly larger piece of card and ran a bead of dries clear glue around the edge. I sprinkled it with
Frosted Sparkle Glitterbitz then allowed it to dry. I added the frame to the glittered card. I cut the
Nothing Warms The Heart Like Good Friends sentiment out of red card and glued it to the inside of the frame. I used the bow from the
Decorative Holly Accents die set and made a red bow with tails and glued it to the bottom centre of the card. The card was completed with white and red mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/2" x 71/2" in size. All for now. Sue x

Hello Sue and all
Love this die set, I have it but haven’t used it yet, still trying to get to my “special” christmas cards. The sentiment is lovely and love the red and white,

Hi Sue this is one of the samples that really stood out during the launch so much so it's one of the dies I'm waiting for, I ordered this plus another 2 from my little craft shop once the CE rep started visiting after lockdown knowing the festive order I've received will financially cover them, I can't wait Sue to use them, they are such a simple design but look absolutely beautiful, I'm trying to resist the set with this stunning bow but I dont think I'll be able to somehow its another that jumped out at me.
So I'll send my love and thank you for this inspirational blog.
STAY SAFE AND STAY SAFE KEEP CARING xxx 💖

Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them this morning. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Good Morning Sue and all.
A gorgeous traditional Christmas card for us today. I love the Optical Illusion you've created with the red and white card, making it look 'deep# in the centre.
I hope you are able to slow down a little. Following your very successful launch.
Have fun
