Hi everyone! Look at these beautiful NEW dies! I love the Curled Script dies and I have a video below to show you how I’m using them… WITHOUT GLUE!
This poinsettia! SO GORGEOUS! Memory Box illustrator Dave designs the most beautiful florals all year but I’m always so happy to see the NEW poinsettias every year! I LOVE this one too!
I kept my card clean and white so the designs would pop! White is so ‘Winter’! lol For us that live in snow country anyway! lol
Again I used the envelope cover picture to put the poinsettia together. It looks hard! I even thought, oh, this looks hard! IT IS NOT HARD AT ALL! Yay! I meant to show this in the video but I forgot. ugh
Just lay the largest piece on the envelope cover and layer up with a bit of glue and boom! it’s done!
LOOK at the detail!
Yes I sharpened the photo but it’s so much more beautiful in person!
The holly die… oh yes! It’s NEW from poppystamps! It’s called Layered Holly Branch… this die is going to be a staple in the stash! I love it! I love holly anyway. lol Tim and I got married in December and we had holly on all the pews and in the floral arrangements… oh, it was pretty and timeless!
I have to tell you….I have turned over a new leaf this year so to speak. I’m am so bad about not finishing the inside of the card and stamping my name on the back. So when it’s time to send, I’m hurrying to get cards in the mail… well, so far this year with Christmas cards, I have stamped the inside and my name on the back! I’m shocking myself! lol Kinda late for New Year resolutions. hoho

Beautiful card. Love the video-I hate getting glue all over everything. I have score tape-but I can see I need the wide strips!!! Thanks for the tips!!
Gorgeous card, and congrats on doing your insides and backs-wow!
love the poinsettia, and pretty way to do the inset of the sentiment
Genius! I’ve always disliked putting the “fine” amounts of adhesive to the backs of the intricate dies, hoping the adhesive doesn’t show. And then countless tedious hours exchanging the negative pieces and the positive pieces, in two different colors, and adhering them with the “fine” amount of adhesive. No more, thanks to you!
Love the poinsettia and holly! They have such pretty details! Beautiful card!
Oh I will have to try that way of putting the inlaid cuts in place! That looks so much easier! Thanks for sharing! By the way, very pretty card!
Wow, this card is stunning Pam! I love your sentiment and the poinsettia, and your layout is beautiful. Enjoyed your video, tfs, great tips!
Pam this is so beautiful – that poinsettia with your colors is absolutely exquisite!!
That really is a gorgeous poinsettia die, and love the holly as much. I’m beginning to feel that die cuts are the way to go for Christmas cards. This one is so beautiful. Your way of inlaying the skinny sentiment is the best way as long as you think ahead of time and are working with a layer. I’m definitely going to follow your lead. I love how much you enjoy making Christmas cards with your new goodies!
So pretty! I loved watching you create this one! Thanks for the ideas – I’d have gone after this bass-ackwards!!! Lol… Thanks for the video, and congrats on your inside and back progress – looks amazing!!!
