Christmas Greetings

Hello crafters!  Here is a super easy Christmas card you can make if you are batch making cards.  Starting with a piece of white card, emboss it with the Nordic Tiles embossing folder.  Next cut the Poinsettia Panel out of white and add a red backing card to it.  Glue it to the left side of the background.  Cut a couple of  red poinsettias using the Poinsettia Trio set and layer them, then add two green leaves and attach the flower at the bottom of the Poinsettia Panel.  Cut the Christmas Greetings die in gold and add it to a white shadow backing.  Glue it to the upper right side of the card.  Complete the card with white and gold mats and layers.  The finished dimensions are 7 1/4"  x  8 1/4"  in size.

Hi Sue.
We all need quick and easy ideas and inspirations, especially those of us that don't start our cards well into December lol. As much as I love the folder used here I'd keep a plain background so nothing distracts from the beautiful poinsettia panel or that gorgeous poinsettia.
Hope everyone has a nice day and feels OK. Stay well and safe xxx

Morning Sue,
Beautiful! I have to have a Christmas card with a poinsettia on, otherwise it doesn't day "Christmas" to me so this card is definitely a winner for me.

Hi Sue. What a great idea for making a quick card. The die has so much detail you don't really need to add much more to make a stunning card.

Hi Sue, a beautiful card and one of my favourite styles. I try to add a poinsettia (or 2 or 3 lol) to as many of my Christmas cards as I can so this one suits me perfectly.
