I cut a regular C6 card down to 14cms wide so that I could take the poinsettia right off the top edge and then use a 15cm sq envelope for posting.It was so easy to put together, and is such a stunning design that it really doesn't need much embellishment. I've added is a length of red ribbon and a bow to fill the emputy corner of the card, a few yellow beads for the centre of the flower and a bit of gold Stickles to highlight the edges.
I'm going to try this one out in some other colours too as I think it's a flower that will work really well on non-Christmas projects too.
You can find out all about Crafty Templates HERE, along with info about this month's Gooyes Kit which takes the form of downloadable stash - so you don't need to wait for the postie at all this month!
Another really quick message today, hopefully back to normal soon!
Thanks for popping by
Hi Kathy. Can I ask if your cards need large letter postage with having the beads etc on? I have been having trouble with embellishments not being able to use an ordinary stamp. A x

ReplyDeleteHi Kathy. Love all the cards you've been creating with the templates. The cup cake looks good enough to eat and your poinsetta is stunning, almost real.
