Poinsettias

Happy Monday Everyone. Hope you had a wonderful weekend! A few weeks ago I saw a video by Jennifer McGuire where she uses background dies to do partial die cutting on her cards. She explained the process so clearly and her cards looked amazing (as always) so I thought I'd give the technique a try.

I used an older SB lattice die and arranged it in my SB Platinum machine so only the lower right corner was die cut. I really like the look and it is rather simple to do.  Here's my card.

I stamped and colored the Poinsettia twice, then fussy cut and layered them together. This poinsettia is one of my favorite Christmas images from DRS Designs. The Merry Christmas is part of the Christmas Scene Greeting and was stamped with black ink. A strip of gold glitter CS was added along the edge of the die cut part. I then added a piece of green CS to match the leaves to the inside to show through the lattice. 

This was a fairly quick and easy card to create and I really like the way it turned out.  DRS Designs is having a special sale through December 3. You can purchase this gorgeous Poinsettia image for 20% off and there's free shipping on orders over $50. You can check out the details here.

Hope you are enjoying creating Christmas cards for your friends and family. These are my most favorite cards to make!

Thanks for stopping by.
