Wishing You A Merry Christmas


Hi Crafty Friends,

It seems this year that I have a bit of a poinsettia theme going for many of my Christmas cards haha! It's just the way it happened and the few things I did buy this year were poinsettias themed.

I purchased this Pinkfresh Studio's Poinsettia Frame Betterpress plate a few months ago when I was looking for something else to add to an order so I could get free postage. Why pay for postage, when for the same price or less I can add something else to my order.

It arrived some time ago and then I decided I needed the coordinating die and stencils, which I finally received last week, so I pulled everything out to make some cards. For this one I kept to reds. Once I had betterpressed the poinsettias I used the coordinating stencils to add color and then the dies to cut them out. I layered this to a piece of pink gingham patterned paper. I then layered this panel onto a 5 x 7 card which I had added an embossed red card panel.

I added the sentiment to the centre portion of the card, before adding a few pearls randomly to the card.


I added the sentiment to the inside of the card, this is also a Betterpress plate, but from Spellbinders.
