Phoenix Inspirations

It's week 27 at the  Make My Monday  challenge blog. All the details are over there on the blog and this week we want to see some - SEASONAL GLITTER. mmmmmmmmm glitter - take a look This is an old favourite, one of the first stamps I ever bought - my poinsettia medallion. Instead of going traditional and red with this I went for white. It was stamped and embossed in gold several times and layered up. The  leaves were then glittered in green. It was then layered onto some green card stock and I used a holly punch in the corners. Here is another view I decided to make it into an easel card. And then I decided to make it into a drawer gift box. Hope you have time to join in - or at least pop over to see our two new dt girlies and our Guest Designer. Bye for now - Jacqueline xx

So a little bird told me today - 'it's only 18 weeks 'till Christmas' - yikes that's not long is it? Still I have been planning ahead and I have a fair few cards made for the festive season. Including the one I made today for the Die Cut Dreams  Christmas challenge blog. The theme this week is 'Poinsettia' and I dug out a stamp that I haven't used for absolutely ages. It's from Creative Expressions and is a gorgeous Poinsettia medallion. The image has been stamped onto decorative Christmas paper and embossed with gold embossing powder. I stamped about 5 images and then cut them out getting a bit smaller with every one. I then layered them up with 3D foam pads. The stars in the corners have been glittered. All the paper was from the Stampin' Up Simply Scrappin'  'I Wish' collection. It's an easel card and this is what it looks like open Thanks for popping over to take a look - Jacqueline xx.
