Are You a Poinsettia Fan??

Poinsettia’s are definitely part of Christmas – you see them every where.  Stampin’ Up! has a stamp set in the Holiday Catalog with poinsettia images and thinlits to coordinate with the stamps.  Something about pages 22 & 23 kept jumping out at me.  The bundle has some interesting elements but the card on page 23 finally made me buy this bundle.  I loved the simplicity of this card.  I cased this card for my Stamp & Go Club this week.

Peaceful Poinsettia Stamp Set, Detailed Poinsettias Thinlits, Christmas
Shaded Spruce provided my card base with another layer 1/4″ smaller for the cutouts.  You use two of the thinlit dies to cute out this beautiful artwork.  I attached it to the card base with dimensionals and then spritzed it with Champage Shimmer Paint and rubbing alcohol in a spritzer to give it a fun shimmery look.  It was finished off with some Silver Metallic Pearls.

Happy Birthday Tina

Today is my best friend’s birthday!!!
Who is my best friend, besides my husband?
My sister, Tina Rappe!!!

Wish her a very Happy Birthday today — she deserves the very best.

She’ll receive this card Tuesday when I see her, but she does
see my blog, so she’ll get a sneak peek today.
I used the new Happiness Surrounds stamp set, it’s part of the Snowflake Showcase,
which is available only during the month of November.
It’s like Stampin’ Up! picked it just for Tina (haha).

Stack of Snowflakes with Snow is Glistening

I am having a blast playing with the Snow is Glistening stamp set and the Snowfall Thinlits — I hope you aren’t getting tired of it yet.  This time I used Silver Embossing Powder and Silver Foil Sheets and I added one of the new Snowflake Trinkets.

 

Snow is Glistening


I love the Silver embossed falling snowflakes border on the right side.  More texture was added with the Subtle Embossing Folder.  The Silver Foil Sheet was used for the layers between the Bermuda Bay and Pool Party cardstocks and for the snowflakes.  The large snowflake is attached with Dimensionals and also for the medium snowflake and a Mini Glue Dot for the Snowflake Trinket.  This card turned out just like I pictured it in my head.  I even did a tutorial for you with all the dimensions and products used.  You can order any of the products below — just click the item.
