Christmas

Hello crafters!  I started by using some Fire Red Glitter Kiss and applying it to a piece of red card and allowing it to dry.  Next I cut the Christmas Big Bold Word out of it.  I added the outline to the backing piece which I cut in white (I kept the fall away letters for another card.)  I cut the Christmas die again but this time it was out of a piece of red and white striped decorative paper I had in my stash.  I paper pieced the letters into the glittered outline.  I embossed apiece of white card with the Falling Snow embossing folder.  Using the Double Stitched Rectangles, I made a multi-layered frame and added it over the embossed background  I added the Christmas word with mounting foam to the inside of the frame.  I cut the Poinsettia Flourish and Corner  out of both white and red card twice.  I nipped away the poinsettia in the red die cut and glued it to the white corners, then added them in opposite corners of the card.  I completed the card with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/4"   in size.  All for now, Sue x

Hello Sue and all'
A very striking card today and where did you find the Candy Cane paper?
I'm sure you could magically find paper or card to suit every occasion and long may the magic last.

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, oh what a lovely sample, I am loving these big words, and I have ordered this one so I know what to make when it arrives, I am thrilled with the red glitter kiss for the outlines, it shows up lovely in the close up.

Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx

It’s a lovely card in true festive colours but sorry to say (and it’s probably because I am looking on my phone) that the stripes are making my eyes go funny

Hi Sue. I wouldn't necessarily associate red and white stripes with Christmas until I read the other comments saying that it reminded them of candy cane! This card would certainly stand out against all the others on the mantelpiece.

Hi Sue, I loved this card on launch and although I am still searching my stash for some striped paper I have found some tartan paper to use as per a previous example. There are so many ways to use this die and I am so glad that I bought it.

This card is cheerful! That’s the word that popped into my head as soon as I saw it. It reminds me of candy canes at Santa’s Workshop and the pointsettia with the white filigree creates the finishing touch.

Wow! A real statement piece. You won’t miss this when you walk into the room. Think it’s the paper pieced candy stripes that do it. Thank you Sue for reminding us to use things from our stash!
