Make a Christmas Card: Details
Don’t let these non-traditional colors steer you away. The Poinsettia Petals Bundle is a winner! Beautifully detailed stamp images, coordinating designer papers and embellishments will have you making Christmas cards in minutes!
The Beaded Pearls are one of my favorite Mini Catalog accessories. Their flat backs make them easy to apply and their classy finish is the perfect center for your poinsettia!
I added a small amount of color to the petals using a sponge dauber and So Saffron ink. Don’t miss the tips in today’s video about adding color and die cutting these three petals all at one time!
Make a Christmas Card | Idea #2
I’m rejoicing over the Dove of Hope Bundle! The dies can be used independently from the stamp set to create beautifully detailed doves. Pair them with the peaceful imagery and greetings in the stamp set and you’ll have gorgeous cards, not just for Christmas. This stamp set will create beautiful sympathy, get well and thinking of you cards, too!
Layering is the key to this card sketch. Whether you choose to use designer paper, embossed cardstock or the new Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper you’ll have a beautiful focal point for an image or greeting.
Make a Christmas Card | Alternate: “Thank You”
I love providing you with more ideas! This same layout was used with the Whale Done Bundle (stamp set + coordinating punch) to create a thank you card.
The Whale of a Time Suite of products can be found on page 95-96 of the annual catalog. The effervescent seascapes and sweet sea creatures are abundant in the designer paper, embellishments and has a coordinating Seabed Embossing Folder.
