Poinsettia Merry Christmas


Hi Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a Christmas card I created using Susan's Garden Garden Notes Poinsettia die sets. 

A few weeks ago, Susan shared on her Facebook Live segment how to create a card using her Poinsettia die sets. You can find Susan's video here or if you prefer written directions visit Susan's blog for her tutorial here. I decided to take the opportunity to watch how Susan creates her beautiful poinsettia's and then set to work to create a few flowers using both of the poinsettia dies myself.

I decided to use my new Ornate Lace 3D Embossing Folder for the background of my card. I also added a Merry Christmas sentiment using a hot foil stamp and gold foil. 

To bling the card up a little more I also added some Gold/Silver Glitter Dots Peel Off Stickers onto the background.


For the inside of the card I added a Christmas sentiment and added two hot foiled Holly Leaves. 


If you haven't heard Susan Tierney Cockburn is now hosting a live "The Garden Spot" Facebook Live  every Wednesday at 10AM EST on her Susan's Garden Club Facebook Page where she will share how to create a few favourites from her Garden Notes & CountryScapes collections.
