Some days...it's the simple cards that stand out! I designed this card for my sorority program this month. We've done cards several times over the years, but this group is more about the chatting and community than focused card making so I designed this and two others which will go together quickly but still be elegant something they are proud to hand out to a family member or friend.
Remember those amazing star dies we had as Product of the Month in October? Well yes, here they are in action! This was my swap card for our team social this month which I layered by alternating DSP (the Luxe Foliage) and Peaceful Pine cardstock on a 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" matte on this open view card. The Golden Glow dots look like gold and are the just added to touch to balance out the hot foil greeting. Enjoy!
Did you know? The poinsettia tradition combines ancient Aztec culture and Mexican Christmas folklore. Joel Roberts Poinsett – an avid botanist discovered the plant in Taxco, Mexico and shipped cuttings back to his greenhouses in South Carolina. The plant was later named the poinsettia after him.
This is my October submission for the TLC Tutorial Cooperative. I used the leaf from the bundle as a background on a layer over the card front. Added a wee bit of Petal Pink ink to the tips of the poinsettia petals for more colour. Love how this turned out!Tonight is my monthly Team Stampin’ Social where we gather to play with stamps, inks and paper – just for the heck of it! This is one of the 3 cards we’ll be making. Figured everyone needs to start or add to their Christmas Card Making stash. We’ll do a little hot foiling because that’s so much fun!
On this day, November 11, we pause to remember our men and women who served and continue to serve today to protect our freedoms. We are forever grateful for your sacrifice – for some the ultimate – for our benefit. Thank You.
