Poinsettias

Good Morning everyone, i hope you are having a good week.

Today is a couple of cards i made with this lovely Tim Holtz poinsettia die which i was given for my birthday, Ive teamed it up with some of my handmade backgrounds.

5.5x5.5 Kraft card base.  I die cut the poinsettia from a piece of kraft card and stamped my greeting in black.  I added foam tape to this panel and mounted onto a slightly larger piece of mirror card attached to my base.  I die cut a frame and attached over the top.  My mirror card is a piece of silver mirri coloured with pink and purple tim holtz alcohol inks. Lime green glitter dots added to the poinsettia centre

You can really see the colour here

 

White version with silver mirror card coloured with shades of blue alcohol inks.  Pink glitter glue highlights

Red and orange brushos with pixie powder background.

Christmas Poinsettias

Good Morning everyone, i hope you are having a good week.

When i used this floral die a while back i thought they looked a bit like poinsettia shape so here it is as a Christmas card, teamed up with green pearl card, gold mirror card and my own red mirror card coloured with red alcohol inks so its full of shimmer.

Cardsize approx 5.5x4.5  I first coloured a piece of gold mirror card with red alcohol inks and let dry.  I then die cut the floral frame once from white card, gold card and the red card, i attached the red & white frames to green pearl card and the green frame to white card and then got inserting all the flower/foliage pieces back into different frames.  I then matted and layered onto the base cards.

Die cut sentiment attached to a die cut circular frame, a little die cut poinsettia added to the centre of the sentiment to finish.

Close up - i also added some glitter glue to the poinsettia centres - so plenty of bling

I used this one portrait over the last 2 being landscape - this die is great as you can use it any way up.

I love how you get more interest and mottled effect using the alcohol inks on mirror card, here i used gold mirror card as the base as its interesting the difference you get using the same alcohol inks on silver or gold mirror base. 

Items Used:

Pinkfresh ornate floral frame die

MFT circle sentiment die

Circle dies

Mini poinsettia/flower die

Tim Holtz alcohol inks - red pepper, cranberry & lemon

Gold mirror card

Payper box Green pearl card

CraftUK ltd white card

Thank you all for stopping by once again.  I hope you are hanging in there.  Hugs Emmaxx

Poinsettias

Good Morning everyone, i hope you all had a good weekend.

I bought this plant pot die set for my mums birthday card and after making it i wondered how it would look with poinsettias so this is the outcome.  The pot die folds to make a little pocket and then has a tag that fits inside with flowers on the top - i added a hidden surprise inside my pots too for some fun.  I shall show the version i made for mums birthday in January.

5x6" white cardblank.  I used patterned papers all from the same pad, i matted a bluey tone and striped paper onto gold mirror card and then the base card.  From the pot die set i cut the pot from gold tone paper and then the tag that goes inside from green paper.  I die cut poinsettias from a red tone paper and arranged on the top of the tag, making sure the tag would slide in and out freely - to help this i added foam pads to the sides of the pot pocket.

I then arranged more poinsettias around the pot and some die cut foliage.  I added glitter glue and gold gems to the centres.

and below is the surprise...... whats hiding in the pot?

Oh look at where that cheeky kitty has been hiding😁

Showing the tag completely removed.  You could also add a secret greeting to the back.

A close up on naughty kitty - my cats love helping (hindering) me while crafting so this idea came to me as my mums cat loves helping her garden😁 .  Using tim holtz mini crazy cat stamp and watercoloured with distress oxide inks.  Glossy accents added to her eyes.  Coloured in tones to match the recipients cat. 

Items Used:

Honey bee die - flower pot

Tim Holtz crazy cat mini stamps

flower & foliage dies

MFT curved border/edger die

Basicgrey paper pad 'evergreen'

Oxide inks - cat - candied apple, spiced marmelade, lemonade, black soot

Stickles - diamond

This is my last upload before Christmas so i would like to wish you all 

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR
