Hello crafters! I selected a piece of Pixied card from my background stash pile. I used Lava Red, Burnt Orange and Sun Yellow Pixie Powders on this piece. I cut two white frames using the Double Stitched Circle dies. Before adding mounting foam to them, I taped them to the edge of the card so that they were going slightly off the card, then cut them even with the edge. I added mounting foam to them and attached them to the edge of the card (I just wanted them to be a bit more interesting than just attaching the full frame to the centre of the card). Using the Birthday Gifts die set, I cut a bunch of various sizes and shaped presents out of white card. I added bows to each of the presents from some leftover pixied card. I attached all the presents so some were stacked and some were flat. I used the Birthday Wishes sentiment from the Birthday Wishes Background and cut it out of white and black. I shadowed the sentiment with the black die cut then glued it to the bottom of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 6 1/4 x 8 1/2" in size. All for now, Sue x

Morning Sue and all Wilsonettes, a great idea for a card with the presents within the circle and slightly cut off the edge, although I would prefer a more subtle colour for the background, but a great idea for a card.
Stay safe, healthy and happy, hugs, June Smith xxx
Hi Sue and all that visit.
I'm not sure...... until my eyes focused all I could see was white shapes, then the bows came into view, I think they should have been cut in white or a contrasting colour to the Pixie background which I think swallows up an unusual design. Not one for me today Sue, I'm sorry xxx
Morning Sue.
Wow a very bright and happy card I agree with Steph a different colour bows.
Any child will love it thank you.
Take care and have fun Kitty.
Hi Sue ,

Fabulous card Sue, love the background colours xx Hazel
Good morning Sue, a lovely card and so unusual with presents in the circle. Love the pixie background but I do agree that the bows get lost against the background.

I had to look really hard to see the bows against
the background, but love the idea of the off
centred circles.

Hi Sue
I love the birthday presents die set, it is so useful for making a quick card. The pixied background is gorgeous and I like the offset circle frame
Love and hugs to everyone

Love the circle going off the edge of the card but am not sure about the background colour. X
Hi Sue, I love the background, my favourite Birthday sentiment and the offset circles but I
am afraid that the parcels get lost for me, sorry.

Good Morning everyone here & we are heading into the weekend.
I kind of agree with everything Frances said. The card has some very nice parts and some things that just don't appeal. Its still a better card than most people could make just not a "Sue Spectacular".

A lovely post but agree with some of the other comments about the parcels being a bit lost. Love the parts but not sure of the whole...
Hi Sue An unusual card I love the bright pixied background and the whit circles it is a shame the parcel bows don't stand out in the photo
