Ok can someone please tell me why there are now only 7 weeks until Christmas! Where has the year gone! I am not too sure that in all this time of lockdown I have made enough Christmas cards. Have you? Well today I thought I would use this gorgeous InColor and make a Poinsettia Christmas card.
This week Magenta Madness
So I have paired this gorgeous vibrant pink colour with Mossy Meadow, Early Espresso, White and Gold!
This card is really quite easy to make with all the wonderful equipment that Stampin' Up! has for you.
Firstly if you want to make multiples of the base I got the idea from our Stampin' Up! Managers Shannon and Emma who did a workshop a few days ago. I love doing fancy folds and have made many Z-fold cards but I never thought to actually adhere down that front z-fold part. I have stepped up their cards quite a bit but I got the base of the card idea from their work shop.
As you can see from this photo I have folded my base card of Early Espresso in half like normal and then scored a 3 cm panel on the front and folded that back and just before adhering it down I added 5 cm x 14.5 cm panel to the front of the Wonder of the Season Specialty DSP. Then I adhered a 2.6 cm x 14.5 cm strip of Poinsettia Place DSP to the front folded back panel.
It makes quite a nice backdrop for the striking Magenta Madness Poinsettia!
Now to finish off the base of the card before doing the poinsettia I have added another strip of the Wonder of the season specialty DSP the same size as the strip on the front and added a piece of Whisper White card so you have place to write your greeting.
For the gorgeous Magenta Madness Poinsettia I stamped the 3 different sizes onto Whisper white in Magenta Madness plus the leaves in Mossy Meadow and ran them through the Stampin' Cut 'N' Emboss machine all at the same time. I just had to run the leaves one more time and I was good to go. I put a dimensional between all the layers and then I wanted a bit of ribbon and bling so I opted for the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon and the Beaded Pearls to finish of the card.
This time I didn't want to put Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays as I thought the card spoke for itself!
If you have any questions about about my card or would like to get the catalogue in your hands please let me know I would love to help.
