CARD: Gorgeous Poinsettia Wow Card & Video
October 25, 2015 by
This is a really cool "wow" card, created with the Stampin Up Festive Flower punch from the 2015 Holiday Catalog. The saying "Thinking of you with a grateful heart" comes from the Happy Scenes stamp set.
The flower was created with layers of the Festive flower punch in Rich Razzleberry card stock. See the video below for how to use the punch. The flower came out amazing. The leaves were stamped with the coordinating Reason for the Season stamp set. When you purchase the punch and stamp set together as a bundle, you get 15% off.

CARD: Silent Night – Wonderland Beauty

Here's another fantastic card that is a great design for large Christmas / holiday card lists. The trees are strikingly bold, simply by stamping them in Staz On black ink on the Stampin Up Up Silver Foil card stock. The trees are from the Wonderland stamp set, and the textured background is the new Softly Falling impressions folder.
My friend Phyllis Shepard designed this for our Founders Circle swap (110 person swap). You can see a video about the event, and swap card shares here.

If you love to "Wow" your friends, and family, with your Christmas holiday cards, this is the Holiday card for you this year. Shockingly easy to make, by following my quick youtube video. You'll be able to create this gorgeous Christmas card featuring the Stampin Up Delicate Ornaments, Sleigh Ride and Christmas Greetings dies (all available in my online store). Card inspiration by Jan Brown.
On this video, I'll share a couple of tips, like how to prime new thinlits dies and how to keep edgelits in place if they "wiggle".
NOTE: I used Snail adhesive in the video, but I think the Stampin Up Fine Tip Glue is a better choice on the glimmer paper so I've switched to that for the product list below.
