Little Poinsettias

Hi everyone! Still recovering from World Card Making Day? I am!! I need to finish many replays from that day! But I wanted to get a card made for the October CAS Christmas Challenge where they're using poinsettias.


Supplies: Paper - Spellbinders A2 card (old kit) 
& Betterpress Porcelain; various cardstock scraps
Hot Foil Plate - Pink Fresh Studio Fa La La La (retired) 
Dies - Birch Press Design Little Poinsettia Flowers (retired)
Other - B000 Copic and white gel pen

I saw many designs with large poinsettias so I thought I'd pull out my little ones from Birch Press Design - so cute but sadly retired! I had a letterpressed sentiment (using a hot foil plate) in my sentiments box so used it for my focal point. Edged it with a B000 Copic to make it stand out a bit from the white card. Die cut and assembled the flowers, added to my sentiment label (sorry can't remember which brand) & added it to the card - done!

Might as well share another Christmas card - this one from tonight's Card Chaos (15 minute cards) Episode #63 where the theme was Peek-a-Boo. I and others, including the host, thought a peeking critter would work. I pulled out my Hero Arts Peeking Winter Bear (retired) and some Hobby Lobby paper (Snow Pine) and called it a day! 


This one only took 10 minutes. I had the Spellbinders Betterpressed sentiment in the bits box. Die cut the bear and assembled, leaving his eyes "closed".  I added some shading with Copics & done. Yay - another card for the Christmas stash - up over 80 now!!

Thanks for stopping by and have a crafty day!!

I rebelled a bit against the BIG poinsettias as well Linda but not quite as much as you — your tiny ones are lovely! Love the bit of white detailing on the lettering too. Cute bear and the birch trunks on that DP were just the right thing for him to peep round, love it!
