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.
Have a great day and special thoughts to those who need them

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.

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

Morning Sue a tremendous card, love the candy cane striped paper piecing, very festive. Take care and stay safe everyone. Bx
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.

Wow, how appropriate for the season...beautiful....luv Ursula xx
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.
