Season's Greetings

Hi Bloggers.

Phill Martin has a One Day Special on Hochanda starting at 8pm this evening and carrying on with more shows tomorrow. I have most of the products available on my website too!

Here's today's card made with some of Phill's goodies -

The background is one of the papers from Phill's Frosty Christmas 8 x 8 Paper Pad.

I stamped Phill's Christmas Holly Decorative Frame : Lattice onto Coconut White Card using Clear Perfect Medium and embossed with Cosmic Shimmer Silver Shine Detail Embossing Powder. I stamped Phill's Christmas Holly Insert Frame : Season's Greetings in the same way. I cut them both out using scissors. I edged them with PM CS Frosty Blossom Twinkles and put aside to dry.

I made a couple of flowers, using Sue Wilson's Classic Poinsettia Die Set with another one of Phill's papers and Sue's Classic Poinsettia Open Petals out of Coconut White Card. I added a little Pink Dazzler to the centres. I cut Sue's Pine Bough out of Coconut White Card a couple of times.

I assembled the card as shown adding some of my favourite White Pearl Corners and piercing around the edges using my Tim Holtz Ruler, Precision Probe and Piercing Mat.

Thanks for stopping by.

  21. I very much like both of Phil's frames. As I discovered at your workshop last weekend, the smaller one that we used has a very elegant outcome which I loved. It is interesting how the use of patterned paper for the poinsettias produces a very different look compared with the use of plain card. A beautiful card.

  25. Hello Julia.

    I think this is such a pretty card.. I really like everything you have used, I particularly like the Pine Bough die. Due to the colour combination this card would really stand out among a card collection. Thanks for sharing.

    Congratulations to Jan Caven.

    Best wishes

  28. Hi Julia, love the card, it's gorgeous! It's lovely to see it in pink. I love Phil's Holly decorative frame and the holly inner frame too. They're lovely. I like how you have put the pine branches too with the poinsettias. I think pink, pale blue, lilac and mint green are a softer colour so I'm going to make a few like that this year. Between you all you give so much inspiration so "thank you Julia" xx Love Karen xx
