Plush Poinsettia Place Holiday Card

The elegant new Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper has three flocked patterns on vellum. The flocked bits provide perfect cover for glue so you can’t see how it’s adhered onto the layer underneath. I cut three leaves using the Poinsettia Dies, and embossed two of them and stamped the sentiment onto the third one. I added a double bow and Beaded Pearl embellishment to create a cluster on the bottom right of the card front. x

Snowflake Wishes Thank You Cards

Today I’m sharing the cards I made for our Candy Hearts August 2020 Team Meeting swap. I used products from the Snowflake Splendor Suite Collection: Snowflake Wishes Bundle (Snowflake Wishes stamp set and So Many Snowflakes Dies,) Winter Snow Embossing Folder, Snowflake Splendor Designer Series Paper (DSP,) Balmy Blue Glimmer Paper, and Blue Adhesive-Backed Gems – basically everything in the suite except the ribbon! 

There were some pieces of the DSP left from another project, which dictated the size of the pieces on today’s cards. I used two different patterns on the card fronts, because didn’t have enough of the same pattern for all the cards, and I used a third pattern for the strip on the inside.

Tag Buffet Project Kit

Today I’m sharing the Tag Buffet Project Kit. It makes 30 large tags. Each one is 3-1/4″ x 4-1/4″, and they also make great additions to card fronts. I don’t think any photos do these tags justice. They have gold accents, and delicate laser-cut features. Everything is pre-die cut. All you have to do is stamp the sentiments and layer the pieces together.
