Merry Christmas

Welcome back. 

It's May 1 and time for the next Merry Little Christmas challenge. 

I would love to see your Christmas creation entered in the challenge. The challenge runs May 1 - June 15 so, you have plenty of time to send your project in. I'd love to see it.

Poinsettias are a holiday favorite, I think. So with that in mind, I decided to make a card highlighting the beloved poinsettia.

I used the poinsettia stamp and die set and the Holly Berry Spray stamp and die set from Heartfelt Creations.

I started with a card base of red (5" X 7"). Next I used a green layer of CS a quarter of an inch smaller. Before attaching I used a corner punch on the top left and bottom right. I then attached the green CS layer.  Lastly I took a white CS piece and placed a tick mark at the center of each of the 4 sides. Next I cut from the top tick mark to the tick mark on the left side. Then I cut from the tick mark on the right side to the bottom tick mark. I discarded the triangles I had just cut off and I used the white piece that was left. 

I positioned that white layer and attached it. I then positioned the poinsettias and the holly berry sprays added some glitter. I also used gold flat backed pearls in the center of the poinsettias.  

My sentiment is from an old clear stamp set from docrafts. (I believe it came in a magazine.)
