12 Weeks of Christmas Cards: Week 8

Thanks for catching Week 8 of my 12 Weeks of Christmas Cards adventure.  Only FOUR more weeks to go...  I wanted to use these beautiful Traditions of Christmas papers this week - love all this gold mixed in!

I brought in the stamps and some gold bits from the 12 Days of Crafting Advent Calendar.  The flower stamps in this kit CAN be poinsettias...as you see here, but they can also be other flowers.  Just change the color.  I wanted poinsettias though, and this is the closest thing that I have.  I did hand-cut all of these.

I used the gold gems from the Advent Calendar for the centers of my flowers.  After this first one, I decided to switch to the Gold Glitter glue, also from the Advent Calendar.  Same look, but easier to work with the glitter glue.

Paper Measurements:

• Real Red:  5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
• Basic White:  4" x 5 1/4", for inside of card
• Traditions of Christmas DSP (floral print):  4" x 5"
• Traditions of Christmas DSP (green stripes print):  1" x 4"
• Basic White:  full sheet to stamp and hand-cut flowers, and die-cut greeting banners

I used the Seasonal Tags to layer the greetings on top of each other.  Stamp "christmas" first in Old Olive, then gold-emboss "Merry" over top of it.  Overlapping some is fine.
