Christmas Cards

 Hello Friends.  I am working on my Christmas cards and have a couple to share with you today.

 

I just received Alex Syberia Festive Poinsettia Stamp, Die & Stencils and couldn't wait to  use them.  I saw several cards on Pinterest with the poinsettia and I was inspired by this card (thank you Michelle Lupton).  I love it done in the blues but I changed the colors to SU Merry Merlot & Primrose Petals for the poinsettia and Mossy Meadow & Soft Sea Foam for the leaves.  The Merry Merlot panel is embossed with Spellbinders Holly & Foliage EF.  The sentiment is from Taylored Expressions stamped in Versamark ink and embossed in gold.  I fussy cut around the sentiment and mounted it with foam tape.  I really like it done in these colors too, but will have to try it in blue.

This card is inspired by another card on Pinterest (thank you Gail).  I really love the card and the only thing I changed was the colors for the greenery, the die cuts and the sentiment.  I used SU Soft Succulent & Evening Evergreen (ret.) inks & card stock.  The greenery is from a new SU set Golden Greenery (an On-line Exclusive set). The EF is an old one by SU called Lacey Brocade.  The poinsettia is also from a retired SU set - Poinsettia Petals (stamps & dies). The sentiment is from  SU For Unto Us (ret.) stamped and embossed in gold on a Something Fancy die cut in Soft Succulent.

I am linking these to Darnell's NBUS as this is the first time I have used the Poinsettia set and also the Golden Greenery set on the 2nd card.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day.

Happy Stamping
