How’s the Christmas Spirit at your house? Y’all have your tree up? oh man, why don’t I have my tree up yet?! There’s a story there but you don’t want to hear it! funny, not funny! Tonight is the big Lighted Christmas parade. I think they moved it up a week thinking it’d be warmer…ha…it’s cold and after 17 inches of snow last weekend…we still have snow! It will be pretty anyway!
I left my pictures dark today hoping the red would capture better. I tried anyway! lol
I started out thinking a plain, tone on tone card but that glitter cardstock found it’s way onto my card somehow! Those sneaky elves.
This is a very basic die cut and glue card…seems like every year I have to have one super glam card….time will tell if this is it for this year! lol
I only used one layer of the Poinsettia Circle Frame, one cut of the Poinsettia Blooms die except for the berry branch sprinkly spronkly things… I cut that die 3 times and the individual poinsettia that comes in the center of the die, I cut six times and layered it on the poinsettias around the frame.
The only things that are on mounting tape are the JOY and to the world sentiments. The JOY die is part of the poppystamps Tidings of Joy stamp and die set. The JOY die in this set is really a backer die but I didn’t like it stamped so I die cut each letter of the JOY separately and trimmed them to fit together just like the die but the letters were defined then. I put the letters back into the die to hold them in place and put the mounting tape to hold them together. Slick!
I really love Poinsettias…every time I see a new one I want it. I haven’t even purchased a real one yet for the house! I’m feeling so behind. At least I have cards made though! YAY!
OK – one more picture and I’ll leave you to get back to your cardmaking!
Thank you all for stopping by! I’ll be back! I have more cards ready to post! 😀

Very pretty. Love your color combo.
Gorgeous, very stunning, love the gold and red combo
Beautifully done – love all of the red, with just the small pop of gold. You always amaze me with your creativity! But…what really amazes me is that you don’t have your tree up yet!??! That is not like you at all. Hope that everything is okay there – now I’m worried! Hugs, and smiles!
What a gorgeous card! Just stunning! Thanks for the enabling…teehee
Love the card the red on red works great the touch of glitter gold sets it off beautifully. Have my tree up and house decorated for Christmas now for the Christmas baking.
Love this card!
Gorgeous card! I love the red and gold combination.
So amazing that you had 17″ of snow when we had about 3″ just an hour from you!
What??? Stop it, now! This just stunned me at first glance, and second, and third… You’re so good at this crafty stuff! Love the tone on tone with the gold glitter. It’s about as amazing as it gets!
How stunning Pam!
Pam, I love your card, and the way it came about. I did that with another poinsetta card and it turned into a card that can be used as an ornament. I made a poinsetta wreath with one poinsetta stamp and the Stamparatus from Stampin’ Up.
This is stunning Pam. So beautiful.
Pam, this is so stunningly beautiful! TFS
OMGosh Pam, this is absolutely STUNNING! Wow you did a gorgeous job, LOVE it!!!
Absolutely spectacular!!! And if those glitter loving elves ever frustrate you, feel free to send them my way! I have yet to make a single Christmas card. For what it’s worth, I’ve have my tree up for almost a week but it has not one ornament on it yet. You are not alone in being behind schedule 🙂
Elegant card !!! I really like the red on red.
Pam this is GORGEOUS! Very elegant, love the red and gold together!
What an elegant card you made! I’m a real red poinsettia fan and love everything you have done with the card. The touch of gold added to the elegance! Super job, Pam!
