I bought this last year on sale and our challenge in both my groups this month is foliage flowers or wreaths so I had to break out my flowers. I ended up with only two cards I think these took me a few days to get done.
It is hard to see the layering of the flower dies until you see the close ups, and I even went over the first ones with more ink.
- Tim Holtz - Festive Bouquet dies
- Spellbinders - Floral ovals and classic oval dies
- Cuttlebug - Swiss dots embossing folder
- Graphic 45 - Christmas emporium paper
- Hobby Lobby - Christmas sticker book for sentiment
- Stickles - X-mas red (on berries)
On my second card I decided to use some of this new washi tape I got for the flowers, I added the washi to some light cardstock before cutting and it cut quite well even though the washi is fabric. It was a little harder to see where I was suppose to add the layering bits to the base of the flowers but with looking at the picture it was doable.
- Tim Holtz - Festive Bouquet dies
- 49 and Market - Artoptions Rouge Fabric washi tape (to cut flowers)
- Cuttlebug - D'vine Swirl Embossing folder
- Graphic 45 - Christmas Emporium paper and faux postage stamp
- Stickles - xmas red (on berries)
I would like to add my cards to the following challenge
Two down and 3 to go to make my quota for this month, wish me luck :)
Thanks for stopping by today and saying Hi,

As a gal that loves Christmas all year round - I love these cards!! The poinsettias are lovely...but I love the music accent on the first one. And the vintage stamp in the 2nd. So pretty!

Hi my dear friend. Beautiful cards.
I like poinsettias, these are lovely cards.
All the best Jan
I love that festive bouquet die set and you've used it beautifully on both of these cards!
These are great poinsettias. Love the combination of dies on the first card and really love the washi tape used for the second flower. Very clever and beautiful results.
Beautiful and stunning design, great colour combo, love it. xx
good luck getting your quota for this month, i'm sure you will do it!! both of these are awesome christmas cards, both really...but i love the 1 cent stamp on the second one, that really elevates the look of the 2nd one for me!!
Connie, Your cards are beautiful! I love poinsettias too. I love how you cut the border frame out of patterned paper. That's so creative! Someone will absolutely love getting this card for Christmas! Thanks so much for sharing this with us over at Christmas BINGO Challenges!
