Want to learn how to create a gorgeous Christmas card?

For today's card and video tutorial I am going to show you how to create a gorgeous Christmas card using the Poinsettia Petals bundle. I love, love, love the dies in this bundle because the dies create a subtle visual texture on the flowers and leaves! (super cool - watch my video below to see how this works)

Nothing says classy like Christmas poinsettias in your home so why not make a card using them as well? 

Here's the Poinsettia Petals bundle - that I used for the phrase and the flower on my card:

I also used the Tin Tile 3D embossing folder to add texture to the Real Red layer but also because it has a matching embossed flower image:

When selecting my colors for this card I went with the traditional: Real Red and Old Olive. At the end of my video I show you a second color combination. Which pair do you like best? Leave me a comment below to let me know! 

Here's my Poinsettia Petals Christmas card:

 

And here's a side view so you can see the lovely effect of using Stampin' Dimensionals on the Poinsettia:

That is a beautiful Christmas card; I just started thinking about gathering supplies to make some homemade Christmas cards. I know I need to start soon so I can get them all made in time. Pinned.
