Hello one and all. It's my pleasure to be hosting this challenge at Allsorts and I've chosen DIES as the optional theme, Anything Goes is also most welcome. Going forward we are now a fortnightly challenge and we have welcomed some new team mates too.
I have had a self imposed embargo on crafty purchases this year and have actually managed to restrain myself (apart from perhaps one or two accidental purchases!!). I feel that I have accomplished that mission and have used lots and lots of crafty goodies that have never been used/opened. One of them being the Sue Wilson die that is centre stage on my projects below.
The background papers (The Range) were leftovers from gift boxes that I made last year so I made the card bases to fit the sizes I had. Glittery green board was perfect for the sentiment trees and I stuck them on more scraps of the same pad die cut with a favourite Spellbinders Fancy Ovals set.
Both cards were finished off with die cut poinsettias and some gems.
Before I go I would just like to thank you for your continued visits, comments and support and to wish you a very Happy and Peaceful Christmas xx

Well done you for reining in your spending and using up those bits n bobs we all have Sarah, the end result looks so festive plus it's guilt free! Thanks for your card, made us smile. Merry Christmas to all. :)
Beautiful cards Sarah,congratulations on sticking to your resolution not to buy too many crafty goodies
Fabulous dies and card design! Great job not buying much, I splurged a bit to get a few things before joining this talented team. Merry Christmas!
Such a wonderful Christmas feel on both cards, the papers are so beautiful and love the glittery green you used for the sentiment. It looks like frost on it, so fun!! Thanks for this great challenge, I don't usually reach for dies besides the basics so this was a great opportunity for me to get out the mitten die set I purchased earlier this year :)
Great challenge Sarah!
I am like you!

Two wonderful cards, Sarah. The text tree makes a great focal point. Well done on being so restrained, resisting temptation to buy too many new crafty goodies in 2024. xx

Wishing you a peaceful Christmas and New Year.

That die deserved to be seen! It looks perfect against that background. I had done pretty well with my craft purchases control and then failed miserably in the last month... Maybe next year!
Two gorgeous cards Sarah, love the papers and the die.
Wishing you a very Happy Christmas

Two very pretty cards Sarah and thank you for your welcome to the team. On the purchase side I think I will have to take your example for this year. I have way too much unused stuff!
I love your use of the bold paper with the die cuts, it works perfectly.
What a gorgeous die and beautiful papers to use it with! Two wonderful cards.
