Pretty Poinsettia Bright Christmas Wishes

Today will be a Christmas card using the just released Pretty Poinsettia bundle by Stampin' Up!  I love poinsettias and so when I saw this bundle I had to get it.  After I tried using the impressions plate with it I loved it even more!  I love how detailed the embossing on the petals and leaves are.  It's so stunning!  To see how I've put my card together be sure to watch my YouTube video tutorial by clicking this direct link.  In the video I show an alternate card using the Product of the Month Begonia Belle with mostly the same products (other than Pretty Poinsettia).  Be sure to check that out over on my Facebook page.

We wish you a merry Christmas Festive Friends wreath card

When I started designing this card, I was looking to go a whole different direction.  But then, as I opened up the Delicate Pines stamp case, I spied the curved bough stamp and this card came to mind.  I'm so glad I changed direction, because it turned out so cute in the end.  Do you ever do that?  Start out in one card in your mind and go a completely different direction?  To see how I've put this card together, you can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.
