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.

Hello Case-ing Tuesday 547 sketch challenge

For today's card I've used the Case-ing Tuesday 547 sketch challenge.  You can find them over on Facebook.  Each week they take a card from a Stampin' Up! catalog, create the working sketch and challenge everyone to make a project using the layout. I though this layout was interesting and so I decided to make a card using it.  The card you see here is not where I started.  I was trying to use the Swirled Designs bundle along with the Made with Love designer series paper.  I was sucessful in part; however, the flower I was trying to use just wasn't working.  As I had already made the card you saw on Wednesday, I had the idea to switch out the flower for the woolly friend you see below.  It worked way better than my original idea and is much cuter than I anticipated.  Of course, I could have just switched at the swirly flower with a different flower, but as I was already working with Woolly Friends, this just made more sense to me.  I would love to see if you can take this layout, a flower set you have on hand and recreate with your stamps & dies.  You can watch the video tutorial over on my YouTube channel by clicking this link.
