Project Inspiration: Happy Holidays by Brenda Noelke

Hello, friends!! Brenda Noelke back with you today for another project inspiration card!! Do you have one of those sets that you HAVE to pull out every year for the holiday season?!? The Into the Blooms: Poinsettia Die Set is that product for me!! I just love it so much!!

I wanted to create a light and airy feel, so I added a couple of vellum layers to the top of the poinsettias!!

Step 1: Die-cut the Cover Plate: Stitched Snowflakes Die from Stamper’s Select White cardstock. Blend Aqua Mist and Hawaiian Shores ink onto the panel with a blending brush, darker around the outside and lighter in the center.

Step 2: Die-cut the largest die in the Love to Layer: Scalloped Ovals Die Set from vellum and adhere to the background panel, adding glue only in the center.

Step 3: Die-cut the leaves in the Into the Blooms: Poinsettia Die Set from Simply Chartreuse cardstock and the leaves from Into the Blooms: Holly Die Set from Green Parakeet cardstock. Use blending brushes to add shading to the leaves with Ripe Avocado and New Leaf ink.

Step: 4: Die-cut the poinsettias from the Into the Blooms: Poinsettia Die Set and berries from the Into the Blooms: Holly Dies from Pale Peony cardstock. Add shading with Pale Peony and Pure Poppy ink. Die-cut the poinsettias from vellum and the centers from matte gold cardstock. Stack and adhere them together, then adhere to the background with foam squares. Splatter with diluted white bleed-proof ink and a paintbrush.

Step 5: Die-cut the sentiment in the Line It Up: Christmas Die Set once from matte gold cardstock and three times from Stamper’s Select White cardstock. Stack and adhere the die-cuts together with liquid glue, then adhere across the bottom and trim the excess from each side. Add matte gold pearls to the centers of the poinsettias.
