White Poinsettia Christmas Card plus new Tonic Glass Mat

Have you started working on your Christmas cards yet?  Today I have a gold and white card designed using Susan's Garden Notes Poinsettia die set.

I am excited to announce another new product from Tonic Studios.  I have loved working on my large Tim Holtz Glass Media Mat but today, there is a smaller version of this glass media mat that will be perfect for travel or for a friend to use when they come to craft with you.

 This is the large Tonic Studios Glass Mat with the card created today.  I LOVE working on this great Glass Mat on my desk but now there is a new smaller glass mat that we can travel with.

This is the brand new smaller, Tonic Studios Travel Glass Mat.  Watch the Tim Holtz demostration for this new mat on FaceBook Live at this LINK.  

Turn your cards into a gift.  I wanted to show you how you can design a card and easily turn it into a framed gift that will be treasured year after year.  You can usually find beautiful frames on sale at the craft store to fit any size card you wish to create.  This is a great idea for those people hard to buy for, or for people who treasure your cards!

How to Create this card:   This is a 6-inch card.  The backing is a piece of Tonic Mirror Gold Card Stock. The edges of this piece were scored on the Tonic Studio Super Trimmer that includes both a cutting and scoring blade.  On top is a smaller piece of white card stock.  To decorate the corners, use the Tonic Studio's Snowflake Flurry Stencil. Add Nuvo Moonstone Glimmer Paste, with the Tonic Spatulas, to two different snowflakes, onto the top corners.  Allow to dry while working on the rest of the card.  Once dry, add to the Gold Card using the Tonic Adhesive Tape Runner.

Use the Tonic Studios Mirror gold Card Stock to create a smaller square gold frame to fit down in the lower right corner.  

Use the Budding Vine - Floral Blossom die set for the design behind the gold frame.  Use both pieces of this set to die cut.  Trim this die cut down to fit behind the Gold Mirror Card Stock Frame.  You can use the narrow Nuvo Tape Runner to attach the die cut background. 

Use Suzanne Cannon's A Way With Words - Merry Christmas die set for the sentiment.  Die cut it using the Mirror Gold Card Stock.  Use the Nuvo Precision Glue Pen to add glue to the back and attach inside the gold frame, as shown.

Use Susan's Garden Notes Poinsettia die set to die cut the poinsettia.  Use Nuvo Bottle Green Crystal Drops in the center of the Poinsettia for the bracts. Add yellow Pollen to each drop.  Color the Poinsettia leaves with Green and a touch of red Embellishment Mousse.  Shape and attach under the white poinsettia.

Use the Garden Notes Whitepine Bough & Pinecone die set for the pine boughs.  Two different shades of green card stock.  Attach the pine boughs under the poinsettia.  Use the Garden Notes Berry Spray and die cut two sprays out of Tonic Kraft Brown Card stock.  Use Nuvo Chalk White Stone Drops to create the berries.  Use the Nuvo Deluxe Adhesive to glue the pine boughs and berry branches under the Poinsettia.
