Winter Blessings

This new poinsettia stamp set by Krista Schneider is so beautiful.  

This is a 6-inch card.  Cut a piece of white card stock 6 inches square, score around the edges and attach to the front of the card.

Use the Fitted Square die set and die cut the a solid piece of card stock, using the largest die.  In the center of this square, use the Garden Notes Frame It/Stitched Square die set and die cut an opening.  This piece should be attached to the front of the card using dimensional tape.

Use the Fitted Squares and  the same Garden Notes Frame It/ Stitched Square die used above, to die cut the narrow frame for the front of the card.  Glue the narrow frame over the opening in the piece created with the die cut opening in the center.

Use the Classic Xmas Sentiments stamp set and stamp the sentiment in the upper left Corner, using black ink.

Use the Poinsettia Stamp Set and stamp one poinsettia, three berry branches, and four pine branches.  Color with markers and die cut using the matching dies to cut the pieces out.  Before adding the arrangement, use a sponge and light sponge pale yellow PanPastel inside the square frame to give a little highlight behind the flower.  Arrange the die cut pieces inside the frame.  Add yellow and green Prills to the center of the Poinsettia.

This card is flat enough to be mailed in a regular 6 inch square envelope.
