Dreaming of a Pink Christmas

Hey everyone - hope you're having a great week! I've been doing more creating than blogging but hope to catch up on the latter. Today I have a card for the January Christmas Kickstart Challenge #106 where Jo & her elf Chris are dreaming of a pink Christmas. Oh yeah - love that!!

Supplies: Paper - Paper Studio A2 watercolor wash card;

scraps of pink/green/yello

Dies - Memory Box Blooming Poinsettias

Other - Simon Says Stamp Starshine Embellishments;

Taylored Expression seal

When I posted my Craft Roulette card on Friday, I mentioned Irene who does a CR tailgate party a couple times a month. Irene also has a YouTube show called Card Chaos where she tries to make a card in 15 minutes. I've been playing along when I can & this week the theme was scraps. I have loads of scraps (if you missed it, see my "organizational" method HERE) so jumped right in. 

I had just finished making a large pink flower (not used on a card yet) & had several scraps of various shades of pink. I quickly die cut and assembled some poinsettias (die set just picked up last week & first use here). Added them to a printed A2 card from Hobby Lobby, then adhered an old Taylored Expressions seal as a sentiment. Some SSS embellishments finished the card.

Since my poinsettias are newly used, I add this card to Darnell's January NBUS Challenge #82.

Here's a bonus (not included as a CKC entry):

Supplies: Paper - Neenah Classic Crest Solar White; 

Spellbinder Wild Hello patterned; scraps

Dies - Birch Press Design String Art Frame;

Memory Box Blooming Poinsettias;

Hero Arts Infinity Nesting Circle

Other - Taylored Expression seal; foam tape

I had an extra poinsettia and label - what to do? I was doing some crafty clean-up & found a string art coverplate diecut from Diva sister Arlene. Perfect! I backed it with some old Spellbinders card kit paper & added the label (already on a die cut circle) in the opening with foam tape. Popped the poinsettia to the bottom left of the label & done. I had started with a pink Lawn Fawn watercolor print behind the string art but fell in love with this Spellbinders floral print. What do you think? 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a crafty week!!
