Hi friends, Bobbi here. I hope you’ve been staying busy making your holiday cards. I’ve been making mine the last few weeks and I’m having so much fun with the holiday sets. Today’s card features the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set and coordinating die set. I’m also using another great complementary set called, Classy Christmas stamps and dies.
To make this 5″ X 7″ card, I started with a pattern paper from the Joyful Holiday Paper Pack. It’s a pretty grey and white gingham pattern. It’s nice and neutral. Since my card is 5″ wide and 7″ long and the paper is 6″ wide and 6″ long, I cut the paper to fit and then added 1/8″ bands of color across the bottom in green and red to cover the seam at the bottom.
For the wreath design, I stamped the poinsettias in three colors of red using the three layers of stamps in the set. This layered stamping really creates beautiful and dimensional flowers. I created a wreath to attach the poinsettias to by stamping evergreens, leaves, pinecones and berries in a circular design using the stamps from Classy Christmas. I tucked the berries and pinecones into the wreath, allowing them to peek out around the red flowers. I splattered the wreath with white paint for snow.
Lastly,
I stamped the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the Bells & Baubles stamp set in
black between the colored bands and attached a natural twine string bow to the
wreath.
