Hi everyone! As always, I try to make a lot of Christmas cards and one of my favorite stamp to make quick cards is POINSETTIA TRIMMINGS. This set consist of two border stamps, I can use them as one background stamp or use them separately.
At first, I cut out a card panel using large die from Dotted set 3 and Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. Next I heat embossed flowers with white embossing powder. I colored all images with copic markers. If I colored out of line and make mess on the white lines I simply swiped ink with finger, but it would be better to use dry cloth 🙂
From the same cardstock I cut a label and heat embossed a sentiment, using again white embossing powder. Also I add one additional layer of red cardstock under the sentiment and card panel. At last I cover flowers and red cardstock with liquid shimmer (Wink of Stella pen).
Supplies:
POINSETTIA TRIMMINGS STAMP SET

Hi Galina, This is a beautiful card! I want to try it. How did you get the red card stock to be the perfect size for the borders? I like to use borders, but I haven’t found the secret to making them as perfect as yours. Thank you!
Thank you, Kim! This time I used leftover piece of red cardstock and cut corners with scissors 🙂 I was lucky enough to find perfect sized piece in my stash)) But usually I glue my card panel on a bigger cardstock and then cut each size with metal ruler and paper knife to get nice borders. In such way I cut a label border
Awesome Galina, I love the Dotted die cut set and this Poinsettia Trimmings stamp set is still one of my favorites this season.
Thank you!
