Hi friends and cardmakers!  It’s that time of year!  So exciting!  Lots of Christmas coming your way from Memory Box, Birch Press Design and poppystamps!

I started by die cutting the NEW BPD Classic Poinsettia Contour Layers and gluing it together.  I used some of the my watercolor papers to die cut the poinsettia and foliage.

I followed a video by Jill from Penny Black to make the watercolored panels that I die cut and used for the panels.  Video HERE.

I used the NEW Memory Box Fringed, Scalloped Frame die for the vintage light brown panel.  I used the thin mounting tape that I love to adhere it to the red background panel.

I die cut foliage from two more NEW BPD dies, Holly Sprig Contour Layers and Tiny Berries and Leaves Contour Layers.

I love the holly, pine branches and sticks.  Although I’m not sure they’re supposed to be sticks! lol

I chose to use the NEW BPD Peace Love Joy Confection Script die for the sentiment on this card.  I love the fine line and I know you’re thinking ugh about gluing it but you don’t have to!  The way it die cuts, the fine script fits back into the panel and you can just put little pieces of tape on the back to hold it in place, then glue it to the shadow die cut.  Here’s a picture that might help you see what I mean.

On the inside I used the NEW Memory Box Holiday Wishes stamp set.  Lots of great sentiments in this set!  And it comes with two dies to cut out the Sending Warmest Wishes and North Pole stamps.

I cut out some extra holly leaves from the scraps of my watercolored papers, in case I needed them around the poinsettia.  I didn’t so I glued them on the inside with the sentiment.  I stamped in Archival Potting Soil ink.

I have plenty of photos this time so I’ll just stick them in here.

It’s no surprise that I started the Christmas cardmaking season with the Poinsettia and greenery.  I do love these colors and the vintage look!

This is an A2 size card…holler if you have any questions!  I’m sure I forgot something!
