Christmas card with foamiran poinsettias

Hi, a quick post from me today because I'm having the flu :(
I'm sharing a Christmas card I've made with 3 white poinsettia flowers on it.

For this card I used white foamiran, poinsettia die, pearl buttons and paper from 14 craft bar.
The joy die is from memory box and the little holly die is from simply creative.
I used glitter paper for the dies and on the letters I put glossy accents. In the centre of the flowers I glued clear micro beads.

I'm entering this card in the Noor November challenge:

That's it for today. Thanks so much for stopping by.

Hugs, Henriette.

Holiday Wishes

One of my boards on pinterest is "perfect packaging". I love beautiful designs and I wish I was that creative. One of my pins is this fabulous looking design for a healty chocolate alternative and I love the color combination.

I decided to make a card using the color scheme and this is how it turned out.

I used the poppy stamps  poinsettia die again and heat embossed the sentiment on vellum.

Black and gold

I'm not that happy with my next card. I got a bit carried away with the glitter paper and glitter embellishments . It doesn't have the clean look I wanted to create. (My daughter even said it looked cheap and tacky).
I used gold glitter paper to cut out the poinsettia. The background is black glitter paper. I also added little bits of gold leaf on it. The sentiment is heat embossed with gold embossing powder from Wow.
I added gray burlap and some red accents.

Poinsettia II

I've made another card using my new poinsettia die cut from poppy stamps.

The paper used on this card is from Deco time, I found it at a Dutch store called Action.
I hope you can see the glitter on it. I also made a little pillow box from the same paperpad.
I stamped the sentiment.
For the layout I used sketch #26 at  your next stamp. I rotated the sketch.

Poinsettia

Today I finished another Christmas card. I used a new die I bought at a craft booth on our local market.
It's a poinsettia die from poppy stamps.

I die cut the flower three times, using white glitter paper, vellum and beige cardstock.
The golden bit behind the sentiment and flower is gold angelwire paper.

I made the background in Photoshop, it's kind of a frosting idea in light brown colors.

The snowflakes are punched out of glitter paper. The sentiment is a stamp from a previous Simon says stamp card kit.
