Keep Christmas In Your Heart All Year

Hello bloggers!  I used the Falling Snow embossing folder with a piece of coconut  white card to add texture to the background.  Next I covered a piece of card with a sticky adhesive sheet and coated it with Blush Haze Holographic Glitterbitz.  I cut enough flowers to make three different sized poinsettias.  I assembled them and glued them in the lower left corner of the background.  I used the Decorative Holly Accents to add accents around the flowers in white.  I cut the sentiment Keep Christmas In Your Heart All Year out of Old Rose card three times.  I glued them together to make a stacked sentiment, then glued it in the ipper right corner of the card.  I completed the card with white and Old Rose mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x  8 1/2" in size.  All for now, Sue x

  1. Hi there Sue. The falling snow folder is one I reach for all year it's so versatile, yeah it's perfect when you don't want a plain final mat but you don't want any florals or anything to distract from a main focal point. Your poinsettias look amazing with the glitterbitz, every single part of today's inspiration makes me smile although the thought of keeping that season in my heart all year sounds rather expensive lol especially when a certain little person starts school and a uniform is needed before we think of the 'expensive' season lol. Sending much love round the world to all.

    Lovely to see Christmas and of course poinsettias, they look gorgeous in their Blush haze holographic glitterbitz, must check, I am sure I have those. Love the sentiment, just started my “special” christmas cards and today’s sample is full of inspiration,
    Hope you are keeping well Sue, very worrying looking at Florida if that is where you are at the moment, Hope everyone on the blog is keeping safe and well too, aren’t we lucky to have our card making to keep us going,
    Hugs
