The Most Wonderful Time of the Year

Hello my Crafty Friends!!! Nora here today from A Creative Touch with a simple Christmas card created with CAS-Fridays Modern Petals Stencil, Snowy Sayings Stamp, Pop Fizz Clink Stamp Set and Champagne Flute dies.

I started off this card by inking up an A2 sized, white card front with two different colors of red ink. I then used the Modern Petals Stencil with red ink across the front.

Next I used a variety of spray stains and mica mists over the stenciled background.

While my card front was drying, I used the Pop Fizz Clink Stamp Set to stamp two champagne glasses with black ink. I then die cut them out using the Champagne Flute dies. 

To give the card some sparkle,  I used glitter glue inside the champagne bubbles.

While the bubbles were drying, I adhered my dried card front to an A2, white card base. I stamped and  heat embossed a sentiment from the Snowy Sayings stamp set in the top, right hand corner. I then added my champagne flutes as shown. 

I was going to stop here but my card was missing something. I pulled out the CAS-Fridays 4 Petal Die Set. I decided that I was going to try to make a poinsettia using these flower dies.

 I die cut two large flowers and two small flowers out of red glitter paper. I then die cut a large flower out of green paper.

To create my poinsettia, I adhered the two large flower die cuts together first. Then I adhered one of the small glitter flowers on top. For the last small flower, I used foam adhesive with some liquid glue to adhere it over the top flower. The glue helps to keep the foam adhered as I had trouble getting it to stick to the glitter paper without it. I then cut apart the green flower and adhered my "leaves" under the poinsettia. To complete the flower, I adhered gold gems to the center.

When my flower was completed, I adhered it to the top left of my card.

I hope you like my card as it was a lot of fun to create. CAS-ual Fridays is having a HUGE sale!!!! Please hop on over to the CAS-Fridays Shop.
