Christmas Anyone?

 This card was made using one of my favourite stamp sets, Poinsettia Petals and the accompanying dies, Poinsettia Dies. They are currently available in the August-December 2020 Mini Catalogue.



I used a fancy-fold to highlight the beautiful poinsettia which I die cut from the silver foil paper. The poinsettia leaves were cut from Old Olive Cardstock. The card base is Whisper White. The Night of Navy was run through the Stampin' Up Cut and Emboss Machine (to be known in future as the SCEM) using the Old World Paper 3D Embossing Folder.

On the base of the card, I stamped a saying from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set. In case you can't read it, it says, "May the Magic & Wonder bloom this holiday", but in a much nicer font, clearly. The frame around the saying was cut from the So Many Snowflake Dies, again using the SCEM (see above). I added some dimension to the label by using foam tape to lift it up from the base. To finish off the card with a little colour, I used Rhinestone Basic Jewels which I coloured with an alcohol marker using Real Red.
