Poinsettia Christmas

Just a quick post for a Christmas card to enter in the Christmas challenge at Happy Little Stampers  - which requires a Poinsettia to be used.  Funnily enough I have spent the weekend making 6 Poinsettia cards for my card group friends - but I can't post that because then there will be no surprises!  So today I looked in my stash for a poinsettia stamp and found this little beauty by Gina K Designs.


I also used a sweet die cut by Wplus9 (Little Christmas Bits) for the Merry and bow and part of a sentiment by the HLS set, Mixed Christmas Sentiments for the Christmas.  No colouring by markers on this card, as I stamped or sponged with Distress inks, apart from the image, which was stamped in Smoky Slate by Stampin' Up!  A Simon Says Stitched rectangle for the white panel, and that was popped up over DSP from the Stacked with Love pad by SU.

    Love your card, especially the poinsettia and the two-tone "Merry" (that's a great die-cut). Thanks for joining us at Happy Little Stampers.

    Great mix of elements for your beautiful card Ann. Fun design and love the black frame which makes the colours pop on the white card front. Thanks for playing along at Happy Little Stampers.

Wow!  Where has the year gone already?  We will soon be caught up with the 'busyness' of Christmas, summer and holidays no doubt, so I'm happy to welcome you to this month's Blog Hop and Challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - let's have fun while we can! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  amazing blog but if you didn't and want to start at the beginning, just click on the SBB blog link above and start again!   Here is this month's gorgeous mood board, to inspire you!  It may be the butterflies, the colours, the designs - whatever takes your fancy!  I love using butterflies in my cards, so I was very happy with this challenge!  I was inspired by the idea of drifts of butterflies and those lovely pink colours!

Scrapbook Boutique May Blog Hop and Challenge

Welcome to another blog hop and challenge at Scrapbook Boutique - this month it is based on this amazing mood board! You should have arrived here from  Angela's  lovely blog. What a beautiful collection of images, celebrating motherhood, new babies and all things girly! I just love to make 'new baby' cards, and was inspired by the little ballet shoes and dress to embellish my card with the tulle ribbon.  I also loved the metallic letters, but thought silver was a softer option than gold with pink, so kept to the silver dots on my pattern paper, as well as the silver twine.  I created my own background with a little strip of hearts from a Lawn Fawn set called Into the Woods.  Now for a close-up, to catch that sparkle! I hope you are inspired to create something after seeing this mood board and if you do, or if you just want to join in, there are two ways you can participate in this challenge and have a chance to win a prize.  You...
