Warm Wishes

Hi Bloggers.

Another Christmas Card today folks -

This card features the new Spellbinders Holly Frame 5 x 7 Card Creator Die Set.

I started by cutting the largest die in the set out of Rich Plum Card. I added a Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B Die to the centre to make the frame.

I cut the largest die in the Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B Die Set out of Milk Card and then ran it through the Grand Calibur with the Creative Expressions Frosty Swirls Embossing Folder. I edged it with a little Plum Archival.

I stamped the sentiment from the Creative Expressions Peace Joy Love Clear Stamp Set onto Milk Card using Plum Archival. I cut it out using Spellbinders 5 x 7 Matting Basics B and cut another die from the same set out of Rich Plum Card. I trimmed down some Cream Pearl Corners ro make them a little smaller and added them to the sentiment panel.

Using the dinky dies in the Holly Frame Die Set, I cut some little poinsettias out of Rich Plum and Vintage Gold Card, shaped them and added a 3mm Cream Pearl.

Using the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia Die Set (still a favourite), I made a larger flower and added a 5mm Cream Pearl. I tied a knot in a piece of Cream Tulle, trimmed it a little and added it to the back of the flower.

I made a couple of Stick Pins using Cream Pins, Cream Pearls, Bead Spacers - one with a Frosted Amethyst Teardrop Bead and one with an Amethyst Teardrop Bead all stuck together with Glossy Accents.

I assembled the card as shown piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler with a Precision Probe on a Piercing Mat.

All highlighted products are in stock now on my website.

Thanks for stopping by.

  20. Hello Julia.

    I think this is lovely and such a great colour. I'm thinking the Holly Frame die set may have to go on the wish list, the little poinsettias are delightful. Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations Beryl Treble.

    Best wishes.

    Beautiful. Those colours are lovely. Amazing what a difference shaping the leaves on the layered poinsettia makes. Must do that this year!
