I am on a roll, a blog post 2 days in a row! But I just had to share this card with you because it is just so pretty! I CASE’d it from a gift bag I received a Christmas gift in.
Now this is definitely an “avid” crafter card, lots of die cutting and I pulled several sets of dies and stamp sets to get everything I wanted. But the result is Oh so worth it, don’t you think?
To get the detail on the leaves, I actually inked up the embossing dies that come in the Nature’s Roots framelits (that poinsettia is made with the leaf dies). First I cut out the leaf image with the outline die, then I simply pressed the embossing die into the ink pad, then placed it on the cardstock and ran it through the die cutting machine. I did that for both the Real Red and Smoky Slate leaves. The center of the flower is from a new set coming in the Mini Catalog available to customers in January. I punched a 1-1/2 circle to build my flower on.
The Well Said Stamp Set gives you sentiments for just about any occasion you can think of, definitely a must have in your library!
Measurements: Basic Gray Card Base 4-1/4 x 11, scored at 5-1/2, Basic Black layer 4 x 5-1/4.
I made this an anniversary card, but it could easily be adapted for any occasion. Thanks for stopping by and having a look! If you would like to purchase any of the products used, just click on the images below to go to my online store. Remember to use the current host code to earn Loyalty Rewards.
