Hi bloggers! I started today's card by coating a piece of card with
Moonlit Silver Luna Paste and allowing it to dry thoroughly. Next I embossed it with the
Diamond Poinsettia embossing folder. For the focal element, I cut the
Bell Adjustable Frames four times using the largest size using
Antique Gold card. I backed them in black and assembled them into a square frame. I added mounting foam to the back and attached them to the embossed background. I cut the
Believe in the magic of Christmas sentiment in both antique gold and black card. I shadowed the sentiment then glued it to the middle of the frame. I cut the
Classic Poinsettia out of
vellum and used some luna paste on the petals then assembled them. I added them in opposite corners and used the
Decorative Holly Accents to add white leaves. The card was completed with white and black mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 8 1/4" x 8 1/4" in size. All for now. Sue x

Morning Sue.
Thank you a great versatile card, it could be a wedding day card too,
or just a ring out the bells and celebrate.
Take care stay safe and have fun Kitty.
Ohhhhh controversial Sue lol. Morning afternoon evening to all. Black on a Christmas card? Oooh yes especially when you incorporate antique gold. I really wish I'd treated myself to the bells, the poinsettia and snowflake adjustable dies are in my collection I invested in them when the orders came through and I knew they would be paid for once the payments came in, and I could kick myself every time I see beautiful cards made with this. They are fabulous for batch making, they are fabulous for two tone and tone on tone wow, so I have a table full of batch made cards in lots and lots of different colours gold/ruby red, gold/forest green gold/cream with your happy Christmas, from our house to yours and to a dear friend mini expression dies and although it was still a lot of work with repetitive cutting it's all down to you how beautiful they look. I really need this bell adjustable die and not just for Christmas. Sorry, yet another long post !! Sending love with apologies and please STAY SAFE KEEP CARING xxx 💖
I love thr luna paste on the flowers, just adds
a sparkle.
Stay safe,

Good morning Sue and Blog Friends.
Yet another beauty from you Sue. You are certainly a temptress in the card-making world and I hope you always will be. I am so far behind with my family and friends cards that I don't see how I can catch up. I get up in the morning and tell myself to get on with it. Anyway at least I'm up and dressed so that's a start isn't it?
I just love everything you do.
Have a good day everyone.
Hugs.

Hi Sue and everyone I love everything about this card today. I have to agree with Kitty that it would also make a great Wedding card with the bells 🔔
And I too love the luna paste on the poinsettia, it looks fabulous.
Oh Marie I am so behind too, and I started early, just got lots of last minute orders and now I dont know if I will ever catch up. But I too am up and dressed, but I just feel so tired lately. Hugs to everyone who needs one today Donna xx

Good Morning Sue. I totally agree with all the comments this morning. So beautiful... And what is irking me ... I forgot I had bought the snowflake one on the launch ! ! !. I have just seen today's card and it has reminded me. Ahhh well I can make a start on next year's straight after Christmas lol with that one. May even try a few stragglers tomorrow.I can't believe I am so far behind when we have all had more time this year with the lock down. Thankyou Sue. Sending hugs and best wishes to everyone who needs them today. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds.

Good morning Sue this is a stunning card. I love it. Those dies are gorgeous. Have a good day. Take care. Hugs Jackie
Beautiful card.
Hello Sue
This is gorgeous I love the richness of the colours.I have the poinsettias adjustable frames and I love them I have made all my special cards with them.Take care everyone x
Hi Sue. What a really classy Christmas card today. I love the combination of antique gold and black with white(ish), but for those who are not so keen on black you could always use a different dark colour. As I have made all my Christmas cards for this year I shall have to store this idea away for next year.

A gorgeous card. I especially like the sparkly vellum flowers. X
Black - not my favorite color to use for cards BUT once in a while black makes the difference between just a card and an elegant card like this one. Love it!
