Ornament Keepsake Poinsettia

By
I've been having a play with my Ornament keepsake bundle and apart from the 'normal' Christmas ornament style projects I have made this poinsettia flower from some of the die cut shapes


I stamped and die cut 8 of the red ornament shapes and then a further 5 of the green - the ornament tops have been hidden by adding the centre. This is the small round stamp from the set and I cut out the very middle part to create the flower centre.
Here's a close up


Materials
Stamps: Ornament Keepsakes, Christmas Blessings (sentiment)
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso (marker)
Card Stock: Naturals White, Crumb Cake,
Paper: Candlelight Christmas Speciality DSP
Accessories: Holiday Ornaments Framelits
(If you would like to make a card like this there is a special offer this month with the Ornament Keepsake bundle - see the side bar for details).

I will be entering this card in this week's Freshly Made Sketches challenge

and
Craft-room challenge
where the theme is Punches and Die Cuts.

Thanks for looking - going to attempt a version of the hanging ornament from the cover of the Holiday Mini so please come back for that. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

Yikes - I'm a bit late posting today, but when I got into my studio this morning I had forgotten that it looked like this I had a big family lunch yesterday and 'cos our house is so small, I have to keep stuff moving from room to room in order for there to be enough space. So I got to work straight away and now my desk looks like this There is a hidiously green magnetic board complete with snail magnets that I won in a raffle - just right for altering, some wooden drawer knobs onto which I will attach some foam to use with my disress inks and my chipboard albums from last week that I didn't get round to doing. Also found when clearing from one room to another was my old jewelery display board which will soon be converted to a card display board and an old set of corner shelves. All they needed was a quick flick of a J-Cloth and a spray of Flash (oops advertising - other cleaning products are avaliable) and they now stand proudly in my craft room displaying my most recent cr
