Patchwork Poinsettia Card

Everyone looking forward to the New Year?  Man has this year flown by.  I still can’t believe it.  And here I am still posting Christmas projects.  Bare with me OK.  I was kind of busy crafting Christmas. :)I love the semi-new Merry and Bright kit from SVG Cuts and wanted to make the patchwork poinsettia card.  Of course, I can’t leave well enough alone and didn’t use all the files that came in the kit.

There is supposed to be three pieces to add across the middle.  I just thought I would change it up and add a ribbon instead.  I really love the odd shape of this card.  It adds a little something different, something wonderful that says “I think you’re odd, so is your card.”  No, just kidding.  It just makes it special like the person it was made for.

Here is a close-up of the purdy ribbon, buttons, drops and poinsettia with the messed up Viva Decor embellishments.  o_O  I have no patience for drying pearls!

Got that song stuck in your head now, don’cha?

The sentiment comes from the Punpkin Patch stamps set O Holy Night.  I love the Christian sayings in this set.  I can see me using these in a few cards during the year, not just Christmas.

Names swirled out to protect the guilty

The inside sentiment is also a Punkin Patch stamp but from the Gingerbread Kisses set.  This is only the second time I have used their stamps on a project.  They give a very nice, clean impression.  I am pretty new to stamping in my crafts and don’t have many stamp sets.  I have to say I am enjoying these and glad I purchased.

That’s it for today.  I think I am going to take the rest of the year off from posting (yes, I know it is only one day!) and want to wish everyone a Happy New Year.  See you next year and don’t eat too much pork, sauerkraut and dumplings!
