Merry Christmas Poinsettia

     I'm having such a great time playing with some of my new purchases from the 2018 Holiday Catalog and even though there isn't much out there yet, I have managed to find a few that are very inspiring! This one was inspired by one I found on Instagram by Jackie Aitken. I used her inspiration but changed up all the products she used. I wanted to use everything that is going to stick around for a few months, hers was done with the exclusive Stampin' Up! bundle Blended Season that is only available for this month, August 2018. As beautiful and eye catching as hers is, I hope mine can do the same for someone else!
     There aren't any instructions for this card as it is a very simple card to do, you could possible call it a Clean And Simple (CAS) card! Using pieces from 3 of the current bundles, you have no trouble knowing what to do with each piece. The colors will all depend on the DSP you choose to use for the center band. My choice was the special coming in September when you hold a workshop of $300 or more, the Dashing Along DSP. I was going to use glimmer paper but you wouldn't have seen the beautiful detail in the gold foil piece. I use glimmer paper far more than I do the foil papers but for this project, foil paper it had to be 😉 makes it POP!
     As I said before... I hope you all like my variation of the original card that Jackie Aitken did and find inspiration to create a beautiful card of your own and I hope to see it somewhere 😉
