Festive Wishes

Hello there my crafty friends!  How about a traditional sort of Christmas card for today's offering!  I started by cutting the Deco Snowflake die in white.  I cut the outer die as a backdrop to layering upon with the other dies.  Next I cut the decorative rectangle from the set in white.  I added a backing cut from red card with a sticky adhesive sheet attached.  I used the Ruby Slippers Holographic Glitterbitz on the exposed adhesive areas and added it to the larger die.  Next I used the Double Pierced Ovals and cut a thin frame out of white card and added it with mounting foam.  Using the Festive Wishes die, I cut it in Ruby Red and black card.  I shadowed the sentiment then glued it inside the oval frame.  I attached the background piece to a slightly larger rectangle then added mounting foam to the back.  I cut a larger piece of white card and added sticky tape around the edge, then costed it with Iced Snow.  I added the smaller rectangle focal piece to the centre.  Using the Decorative Holly Accents, I cut two different sized poinsettias and nipped away the leaf areas.  I used two flowers offset to make one flower and added them in the lower corner.  I added Evergreen Branches cut in white as accents.  The card was completed with white and red mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7"  x 8 1/4" in size.   All for now.

Morning from a dark Lancashire Sue. Red and white, I love the look and using the colour scheme with your poinsettia adjustable border and of course the poinsettia flowers whenever I can. I wish I could find my festive mojo early like you do but I can't and so I'm now panicking to get 3 large orders completed, I have such a long 'to do' list alongside the orders like shopping online for close family before time runs out and I'm stressed right up to my very long dark hair roots, all i can say is i adore you for designing the polar bears and penguins as they are a card in themselves its just there are so many options so many cute ways to use them i could play with them all day lol. Anyway rambled again, did i mention that i love today's inspiration, and did I mention I wish you were a next door bubble neighbour, we could have got a conveyor line going!!! Have a lovely day and I hope our American family managed to have a nice day yesterday with lots of calorific goodies xxx

Good Morning Sue and all.
A wonderful card Sue and those flowers are absolutely gorgeous. I think I've been making cards for Family and Friends about 5 years now and have never yet made a flower that I like so, I'm in awe of the beauties.
Have a good day.

Hi Sue and everyone, my favourite cards to make today. Yeah !! Christmas cards ♥ and I do love a bit of traditional red and white. This card is beautiful with all its blingy bits too. Just stunning. A few more Christmas cards needed to be made in my house yet and I have this beautiful poinsettia. I of course had to buy the poinsettia, holly and bow die set as it was my favourite. Hope everyone is well hugs Donna xx
