Poinsettia Dreams (Christmas Card)
Hello crafty crafters!
Christmas spirit has come early for today's card. I know we are only in February but last year i failed to make all the cards i needed to so i was left with some very upset family members.
This year i promised myself i would atleast do 2-3 per months so i made sure i had enough for all of my friends and family so no one get left out.
*First i selected a beautiful pearlescent card and folded it using a scoring board and ensured it had a sharp fold by using a bone fold.
*Next i used a circle die to cut out the shape for the window. I overhung the die to get the look i wanted to achieve.
*Using the same die along with a bigger circle die, I cut a boarder from mirri card and glued this to the front of the card to make a beautiful boarder.
*Using the circle die again i cut out a circle from a snow design acetate and added this to the inside of the card. I then cut off the excess at the side of the card to make it level.
*The picture i used of Santa was then glued behind the acetate and cut to size.
*Next i made the beautiful poinsettia flowers. I made 2 larger ones and 3 smaller ones. The dies i used were from the Britannia die collection.
*Although this didnt show up much in the picture i added the words 'Merry' to the top left and 'Christmas' the the bottom right just to finish the card
Ta'Dah! All done
Is there a certain type of card you would like me to make? Im thinking of starting my Youtube channel so i can show you how i make these cards. Would this be easier then reading?
Id also be posting pictures and directions on here for the people who would rather read.
Have a wonderful crafty day
