Merry Christmas with Waffle Flower

Merry Christmas to all.   Christmas Eve today, and I'm sharing my card for the Die Cut Divas. My usual day is the 25th, but I've decided to post a day early.

Our lovely sponsor is Waffle Flower 

Today I have two cards to share.... both using the Poinsettia Frame die and stencil set... in two different colours schemes. 

First one is a dark pink poinsettia

I die cut the frame twice and used the matching stencil to add colour.  This first one used Simon Hurley's Prom Queen ink for the flowers and two Distress Ink green inks for the leaves.  I die cut the sentiment from Altenew's Citrine glitter and added some splatter with Distress Spritz - Fossilised Amber.   

And I made a second one... using some pale green to colour the poinsettia 

Changed up the sentiment as well and added some glitter dots and spritzed with some dark green ink

Wishing everyone a good day tomorrow.

My first card uses the whole Postage collage die

 

My second card uses four pieces of the die.  Find out what I used for the trim around the outside of the card on my blog.

Waffle Flower ~ Birdie Friends in Winter

Hi Crafty Friends! It's Sue with a card for you today. Our December challenge is

CHRISTMAS/WINTER

Our sponsor this month is Waffle Flower. They will be giving our winner a $15 gift card to their online store. Thank you Waffle Flower for your generosity.

Here's my CHRISTMAS/WINTER card

I used Waffle Flower's Birdie Friends in Winter dies and the coordinating Birdie Friends in Winter stencil to create my card. Aren't the birdies super cute? I think so. They are so cozy wearing their toques and scarves. I used an old Waffle Flower's Fa-la-la stamp set, which I see is not retired, for the sentiment. For specific details on how I created my card, please check out my foleysfriend blog here.

We'd love to see your CHRISTMAS/WINTER creations in our gallery. Be sure to use a die cut or an embossing folder to create your card.

See you later this month.
