Hi Everyone! I am writing this to you while I am on a mini vacation in Southern California with my step-kids & hubby. Those of you who have been visiting me here at Cupcake's Creations, know I ALWAYS take a few stampin' supplies with me when
I travel :) .jpg)
I made this card combining 3 challenges: I have been lovin' the paper piecing technique challenge this week at the Just Us Girls site, so I gave it another try! I also used Samantha's "Traditional" Christmas Color Combo #6 & Taylor's amazing sketch #86, TESC86. If you are interested in viewing some beautiful creations, be sure to check out what ALL of these sites for inspiration! I hope you had a chance to play along with me & the girls at the Just Us Girls Challenge site, if not hopefully I will see your creations in the new challenge on Saturday, October 17th! I'd love to know what your favorite Christmas color scheme is? Be Sweet!
Here is my Christmas Joy card:
I embossed the SU Very Vanilla cs with using the Cuttlebug Victoria EF.
Using a very sharp scissors, I cut out ALL the Poinsettias & the green foliage & pieced it on my card!
Ingredients Used: Stamps: PTI Snowflake Serenade, Peaceful Poinsettia Paper: SU Old Olive, Very Vanilla, PTI Pure Poppy Ink: SU Real Red, Old Olive, Basic Black Sprinkles: Cuttlebug Victoria EF, Making Memories brads, Spellbinders Long Rectangle nestie, ribbons from stash
