Trying Out My New Dies!

Hi all!

Just popping in to show you the card I just finished making using my new Spellbinders Poinsettia dies that I picked up this morning!  I've been eyeing these off for ages, and have seen some lovely cards made using them so thought I'd better get me some! lol

Lucy Dillon/Crafty Cat has another 3 sets in stock right now here in Mackay, so be quick to grab a set if you like them cause I reckon they will sell fast!:)

Here's my card anyway!


I kept it really simple cause I wanted the flower to be the show stopper.  I've used a lovely Christmas colour combo of Vanilla, Cherry Cobler and Garden Green with a hint of So Saffron.  You can't really see it in the photo, but the cream panel has been embossed using my Linen Impression plate from Papertrey Ink!  It just gives it a gentle texture I find and it would probably be my absolute favourite impression plate!

At lease I now have a grand total of 1 Christmas cards done! GO ME! lol  Now to just find the time to get a few more complete!

Catch ya later!

These are absolutely gorgeous! Love the colours and layout. I made a similar set of Xmas cards last week but didn't have all your fun fibres added in! Gotta love poinsettias for the holidays.
