Peaceful Poinsetta
Welcome! Happy you stopped by. Today’s card is created using the Peaceful Poinsetta stamp set. I love coloring (guess I am still a little girl at heart), so this was a fun card to create.
My inspiration comes from the Paper Players Challenge for this week.
The card starts with a base of Call Me Clover card stock, cut 8-1/2″ x 5-1/2″. The mat is Real Red and is cut 4″ x 5-1/4″. It is popped on the card base using Stampin Dimensionals after the art piece is adhered using Multipurpose Glue.
The art piece was stamped on a panel of Whisper White Thick card stock using the Peaceful Poinsetta stamp set and Memento Black Ink. Stampin’ Blend pens in Real Red, Call Me Clover and Daffodil Delight were used to color the art piece. Basic Jewel Rhinestones were colored with the Real Red Stampin Blend pen and then popped on the art piece. The Happy Birthday greeting is from a Thinlits Die. It was cut then glued back to the negative space left. Some of the cuts were popped out to reveal the Real Red mat behind. 
The inside sentiment is stamped in Real Red ink on a panel of Whisper White — cut 5″ x 3-3/4″ that has been adhered to a Real Red mat, cut 5-1/4″ x 4″ using Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The holly art is stamped in Memento Black Ink and then colored using Stampin Blend pens in Real Red and Call Me Clover.
That’s it for today. My hope is that you like the card, found encouragement and inspiration for your own creations and that you will visit again. Have a great Thursday.

The card base is Tranquil Tide, cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ and scored at 5-1/2″. The Basic Black mat is 4″ x 5-1/4″ and is popped onto the Tranquil Tide base with Stampin’ Dimensionals and becomes the mat for the three strips of Share What You Love DSP. 
Each strip is cut 5″ x 1-1/4″ and adhered to the Basic Black mat with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. The greeting is stamped in Memento Black ink on Whisper White card stock and then cut out using a Layering Circle Framelits Die. A flower was fussy cut from a scrap of the Share What You Love DSP and popped on the edge of the circle with a Linen Thread bow (I call it a Mary Deatherage bow, because she is the one who showed me how to make it, if there is another name, I just re-named it for to me it will forever be a Mary Deatherage bow) adhered with a Glue Dot. 
There are 6 raindrops in the circle but they are hard to see.
The card base is Tranquil Tide cut 4-1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5-1/2″. The mat is Cajun Craze cut at 5-1/4″ x 4″ adhered to the base with Multipurpose Liquid Glue. All card stock has been embossed using the Subtle Embossing Folder. Have I told you before I love this folder, it makes card stock look so much better, not so blah! 
The panel for the plaid is Whisper White and Mint Macaron ink has been used to stamp the Buffalo Checks. It took three stamping to get the color of Mint Macaron wanted. A Cajun Craze Stampin Write Marker was used to make the wide stripe across the checks, then the pen end of a Tranquil Tide Stampin’ Write Marker was use to make the narrow stripe. Embossing the plaid panel makes it look like fabric. This turned out making a nice plaid.
Two circles were cut from Blackberry Bliss and Cajun Craze to frame the Whisper White circle that the Happy Birthday was stamped using Blackberry Bliss ink. Three Faceted Dots in Blackberry Bliss were adhered. The flowers are from the Botanical Blisss stamp set and was stamped in Blackberry Bliss and then Versa Mark and heat embossed using Clear Embossing Powder. They were colored using Blackberry Bliss and Mint Macaron ink and a Blender pen. Twigs cut from Blackberry Bliss, Cajun Craze, Mint Macaron, and Tranquil Tide were adhered using Glue Dots. 
A Linen Thread bow is attached using a Glue Dot also. I call this my Mary Deatherage bow as she is the one who showed me how to make it. After the circles flowers, twigs and bow were attached to the Mint Macaron plaid panel, it was adhered to the Cajun Craze panel using Multipurpose Liquid Glue.
