Splendid Poinsettia

 Hi,

November's challenge is: Any Holiday of the Year, and I chose to make more Christmas cards.

This one features the Forest Leaf And Berries Contour Layers Die from our November sponsor Birch Press Design.

On the my second card, the focal element is the Splendid Poinsettia.  Although this set is retired, there is a new one called Classic Poinsettia that looks just as beautiful.

Birch Press Design is our sponsor this month.  And they are generously giving a $20 gift card as a challenge prize.

For full supply list of my projects, visit Escape To Stamping.

Bye for now.

Wishing you Joy this Christmas

Hi all -Dawn here with inspiration for our October Diva Challenge. We're celebrating World Card Making Day all month long!! You just need to make a card including die cuts &/or use an embossing folder and enter it into the gallery by 9pm Pacific Time on October 31st.

I've been doing a few Christmas cards during this month so I'm keeping with that theme for my today's card.    I don't have a lot of My Favorite Things products - mostly older stuff from when I first started card making.  So today my Christmas card uses an older (discontinued) die called Hexagons.  

The die set has two dies - one that cuts a border and then separate hexagons.   The separate hexagons are two sizes... one the exact size of the border and one slightly smaller.    I chose to make the border in black and then used a variety of Christmas papers for the separate ones and layered together.  I've pair this border with an embossed panel and a die cut sentiment and some stamped sub-sentiments. 

Hope you will join us for our challenge.

Dawn & the Divas.
