Good Wednesday morning my fellow stampers. Here we are halfway through the week already. These days are going too quick for me. Is everyone getting your shopping done? Holiday cards mailed? Decorations up? Starting to plan Christmas dinner? I guess 1 out of 4 isn’t bad for me. I’ve got half my decorations up so far and that’s it. I’m hoping to get the rest done today. I’m also focusing on getting my cards out by this weekend, see how that goes.

For today’s card I used the Stampin’ Up! Poinsettia Petals Photopolymer Stamp Set, but I didn’t make a poinsettia this time. Here’s my card.

My colors are from Global Design Project Challenge # 269. Here are their colors.

My design is from CAS(E) This Sketch # 399. Here is their sketch.

I started by adhering a panel of Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper to a Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. I adhered a smaller panel of Poinsettia Place DSP to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal.

On a panel of Whisper White cardstock, I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Just Jade Ink. I stamped the pine bough image from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Garden Green Ink above the sentiment. I colored the pine cones in using my Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I cut the sentiment out using my Stitched Shapes Dies. I adhered the artwork to a Real Red mat using Stampin’ Seal.

I adhered a piece of Just Jade 1/4″ 2020-2022 In-Color Ribbon to the card front with Stampin’ Seal. I adhered the matted artwork over the ribbon using Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added a few of the clear Wonderful Gems to the card front.

On the inside I stamped the sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Just Jade Ink in the center of a Whisper White panel. I stamped the boughs image from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set in Garden Green Ink on the top of the panel and colored the pine cones in using my Soft Suede Stampin’ Blends Markers. I adhered the Whisper White panel to a Garden Green mat using Stampin’ Seal and then to the inside of the Real Red card base using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

To finish my card I decorated a Medium Whisper White Envelope. I adhered a strip of the Poinsettia Place DSP to the envelope front and a panel to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you liked my card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
