I must credit Connie Collins for the idea behind this card. She's the one who came up with the poinsettia idea and shared a wonderful video on how to make one. I won't spill the beans on what she used to make it, but it's pretty darn clever! Click on THIS link to watch her video. I was in need of a "special card" for a coworker who always request a card from me to give the president of her Administration Board. This is why the inside is decorated as well: it has a panel that opens up so that everyone has room to sign the card and write a little note, since the card will be given by a group.
The outside of the card showcases my favorite stuff from the Holidays mini (Holly Berry Bouquet DSP and matching buttons), but the inside introduces some upcoming new products from the Occasions mini, which will be out in January. If you've booked a workshop with me, you'll be excited to see this! It was the perfect chance to test out the new Edgelits and matching embossing folders. I have to say: I'm really impressed with the results! And so glad I decided to purchase the matching embossing folders. They weren't on my initial preorder list - I had to draw the line somewhere! You'll recognize the sentiment as the For Christmas single stamp, which I love using because it turns out SO beautiful every single time!
