I’m right on track with making my Christmas cards. I have a goal to make a set of 10 each month. So far, I’ve only missed one month so I’m halfway there. I do occasionally make a card for a challenge as well. As soon as I saw the Jingle Belles Challenge for Poinsettias, I knew I had the perfect die in my NBUS box to start. I also knew that one of my very old Poppy Stamps dies would work as well.
I recently purchased the Simon Says Hanging Leaf Ring. It comes with a set of floral dies, but I knew the Small Blooming Poinsettia die from Poppy Stamps would work beautifully here. I did cut the Ellen Hutson Lattice Background from black cardstock and added it to a black panel before adding both to a gold panel. The card base is Papertrey Ink’s Vintage Cream which I also used for the circle inside the ring.
The sentiment is from Spellbinder’s Wonderful Christmas stamp set which was one of the monthly offerings last year. I don’t think I’ve used it before, but the font seemed just right for this design. At the last minute I added two gold leaves from the poinsettia dies and then some Gold Glitter Pearls from Pinkfresh Studio.
This is also off to NBUS–one more product out of the NBUS box!
A beautiful card – it speaks Christmas cheer.
Love your beautiful Christmas cards with those cute poinsettias and the gold ring frame. It all looks great on your black background.
Oh WOW! What an incredibly elegant card, the combination of gold accents on the black background to offset the blooms is both bold and elegant! So happy you could join our festive floral and foliage fun at Jingle Belles!
This is so elegant, Karen! I love that black background that makes the gold and red really pop! I am woefully behind on Christmas cards. Hopefully this will inspire me to get started!
love how the blooms pop against that lattice background … so very glad you shared your Poinsettia Perfection with us at Jingle Belles.
This is beautiful! Love your black background
