Christmas Cards 2025-Apr-26

 Hello,

I am a little slow in adding to my Christmas card stash this year, but the Positively Poinsettias challenge over at Christmas Kickstart Challenge prompted me to create with one of my many poinsettia stamps. 😊

I used a Simon Hurly Create Peel-Apart stamp named Bold Holiday Blooms for the poinsettia panel.  I inked and clear heat embossed the leaves and flowers in separate stages, then ink blended the background.

Next I die cut it with Waffle Postage Collage Die, matted with with a dark red panel and adhere to a white card base.  I stamped some extra poinsettia blooms and leaves and hand cut, and used it as focal point.  The sentiment strip from Spellbinders Make It Merry Sentiment die set is die cut using gold foiled card stock and backed with dark red card stock.

For some final touches, I added flower center and highlight of the berries using Stamperia Old Gold Contour.
