Wonders Poinsettia Pines

Back so soon? I hear you ask….

I’m trying to catch up with the list of challenges I wanted to join in, so that I increase my card stash.

 I used lots of my old SU stash for this one…..

Poinsettia Petals, Christmas Pines stamp sets,  North Pole Wonders dies, Boughs of Wonder DSP.



DSP background, die cut a contrasting stitched rectangle, added stamped, die cut, coloured with blends poinsettia, and die cut stag from brown card.
Stamped and die cut sentiment and added a few gold “berries” for a bit of bling

Excuse my black blobs on the photo….gremlins when I was editing 🙄


Challenges:

Just add ink #791 -Christmas 

Merry Little Christmas #69 -AG

52 Christmas card Throwdown - red, green, brown



Slightly different background paper, Stag cut from gold card, and sentiment heat embossed in gold.
I should have used the same gold pearls instead of the liquid gold that turned into a blob.
I blame the heat 😂, but I’ll probably rectify it before I send it to a friend 😉


Challenges:

Jingle Belles -tic tac toe (die cut, red & green, heat embossing)

Christmas kickstart challenge #113- friendship

Huge thanks to those who run the challenges…it keeps us on our toes and provides our inspiration 🙏


Thanks for taking the time to visit, and I really appreciate your comments

Take care and see you soon

Poinsettias for Christmas kickstart

 I saw the Christmas kickstart challenge #97 nearly two weeks ago.

I knew I had a stash of pre cut bits n bobs, but it’s taken me a while to put some cards together.


These were fussy cut from a DSP, and I like to use the partial edge pieces if I can.
I added a pre cut sentiment and added some Irridescent discs


Next I embossed a background piece in white, added a die cut frame, and winked it

a few rhinestones add sparkle


A couple of die cuts circles, and some red branches,


with some more shiny discs


Lastly, a DL card, more circles, and tiny stamped holly,
with a sentiment from Clarity.
I think this is my favourite, do you have one?


Do hop over to see everyone’s cards

Sets used are under “labels”

Take care and see you soon
