Happy Saturday Friends. Today I have a quick post sharing a sweet and simple Christmas card where the patterned paper made creating this project easy.
I was searching for some holiday patterned paper in my stash and came across the Ornamental Christmas 12x12 paper pad from The Paper Studio. The baubles make a great background so I die cut a poinsettia using a die set from Alina Craft and cut the sentiment from a set by Kat Scrappiness.
The poinsettia petals and leaves were looking a little too flat and boring so I embossed the pieces using the Crystal Distortion 3-D embossing folder from Simon Says Stamp and added a bit of Aged Maghoney Distress Ink around the edges. The word dies were cut from white glitter card; this set comes with a shadow die but I decided against using it.
The only bells and whistles added were a clear gem to the "i" in Christmas, for the center of the flower and Wink of Stella over the entire flower and leaves. If you have paper with a large pattern, it makes creating a background quick and easy.
Thanks for stopping by today. In the States, it's Small Business Saturday so if you're holiday shopping today, please try and support a small business in your community. Unti next time, Happy Crafting!
