Pretty Poinsettia

 

Have you been hard at work creating your holiday cards since June or are you just starting now? Either way, LDRS Creative has some fabulous stamps and dies to not only put you in the holiday mood but also help you make beautiful cards for your friends and family!

Today I have a slimline card to share with you that I made using 3 products from the recent holiday release.

Elegant Stitched Frames Slimline Dies

Potted Poinsettia Stamp Set

Potted Poinsettia Coordinating Dies

I just love the Potted Poinsettia Stamp Set and I decided to stamp it on to some watercolor paper and paint it in some pretty reds and greens. To give the flowers some added sparkle I added glitter to the centers.

The Potted Poinsettia Coordinating Dies cut out my image perfectly and I set it aside to dry and work on the rest of the card.

For the base of my card I used the smallest die in the Elegant Stitched Frames Slimline Dies and cut out a white panel. I lightly stenciled some polka dots all over it to give it a bit of interest. I layered the polka dot panel on to a larger panel cut with patterned paper and the base of the card was cut with kraft card stock using the largest die to form the side opening card.

After assembling all the layers on top of each other, I stamped a sentiment from the Potted Poinsettia Stamp Set at the bottom of the card and then popped my flowers up on some foam tape.

For the finishing touch I added some sparkly red jewels around the card.

Such a festive holiday card! 

Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you enjoyed my card and will check out all of the 

LDRS Creative holiday collection and get started on your own holiday cards!

Have a great day, I already am!

25 Days of Christmas With Paper Sweeties

   

Hello friends and welcome to my blog! 

Today I am sharing my 3rd project for day 22 of the 

Paper Sweeties 25 Days of Christmas!

I am absolutely in love with the card I made today! I got my inspiration from a previous Paper Sweeties design team member, Jill Norwood. She made an awesome video back in August of 2019 using the Sweet Cuts Keep Calm and Drink Coffee die set and stamps from the Merry stamp set. The whip cream on the cups is the top of the cupcake from the Sweet Cuts Cupcakes and Sprinkles dies.

I picked out some pretty gingham paper to cut the mugs out and stamp the festive words on to and the whip cream looks luscious in glitter paper.  I used a sweater patterned embossing folder for the background to give this card a wintery feel. I added some sweet holly leaves and berries from the Sweet Mini Duo - Home stamp and die set. They were the perfect addition to this card. I matted the embossed panel onto a piece of grey gingham paper to tie in the pattern on the cups.

Thank you so much for visiting my blog to see my projects for the Paper Sweeties 25 Days of Christmas! Make sure to check the Paper Sweeties blog every day in December for more inspiration from the rest of the design team!
