Hey there crafty peeps! I am ALL IN for fall EVERYTHING right now. But feeling festive for fall also means thinking ahead to holiday card making. Tis' the season to start thinking about Christmas cards! Today I have a bright and bold poinsettia card featuring some gorgeous holiday supplies from
Spellbinders Paper Arts. Let's take a peek!

I always lean toward bold colors and patterns for holiday cards, (who am I kidding - that's how I lean for ALL of my cards, crafts, clothes, housewares. . . I just like COLOR.) I did some serious mixing and matching for today's card, picking dies and a Glimmer plate from a few different sets for today's card. It's always fun to mix things up a bit, and you'll end up with limitless possibilities if you have a few products that can work well together.
Today's card began with
that lovely poinsettia. I am still fairly new to hot foiling, and the
Glimmer Hot Foil machine, but I am slowly becoming more comfortable with it. I did a bunch of Glimmering last week, and I had this sweet poinsettia sitting on my desk without a project, so I decided to give it a home today.
I decided to roll with the silver on the flower and add some more bold silver color to my card. I die cut some greenery from Mirror Silver Cardstock and Brushed Silver Cardstock and tucked it around my flower. I paired it all with that awesome bold circle and sentiment (the sentiment and circle are one die) from the brand new Through the Woods Dies.
To complete the card, I layered the circle on some green patterned paper, then added it to a piece of striped paper, and onto a red card base. (And of course, finished off with some enamel dots!) Both pieces of patterned paper are from
a great little 6x6 stack called Christmas Traditions, and I've been using this paper like crazy! (It also has some foiled prints that are just stunning!)
Almost everything I used today is BRAND NEW in the Spellbinders Paper Arts shop. Plus, there's a whole lot of other absolutely gorgeous brand new crafty holiday goodness. (The Merry Stitchmas Collection is an absolute showstopper!)
Thanks so much for stopping by today! I'd love to know . . .are you making Christmas cards this year? And if so - have you started yet? Be sure to hit the Spellbinders shop to see all the new products, plus absolutely STUNNING inspiration.
