The Free For All Challenge on Splitcoaststampers this week was to make a project using winter flowers. Well, that is all I have been making lately as I just can’t seem to help myself. I love those poinsettia dies.
I got a little carried away on this one and it may be a little too heavy with flowers but I still like it. I love the contrast of the little bit of white Fleur De Lis die showing under the flowers for an added touch of dimension.
It is hard to see in the photo but there are pink organdy ribbon loops and tails mixed into the petals and foliage. You can see my step by step poinsettia tutorial if you would like to see how I make my flowers.
I plan on spending the day today making Christmas cards to send out to my family. I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Paper: White, Pink, Olive
Ink: Peeled Paint, Shell Pink
Accessories: Spellbinder Poinsettia and Fleur De Lis dies, Martha Stewart Pine Branch Punch, Pearls, Mat, Stylus, Sponge, Glossy Accents, Mounting Tape
Gorgeous Kittie!! You know, those pointsettia dies are sold out all over the web?? hehe
Oh, so pretty pink poinsettias! Lovely card! Hope you find joy while crafting your family Christmas cards. 🙂
You are going to wear those poinsettia dies out, Kittie! But in the meantime, you are certainly putting them to great use and creating some stunning cards. Since I love pink, this card is particularly beautiful. I’m sure when your family members get your cards, it’s like getting gifts.
This one is really gorgeous Kitty, the colors are beautiful!
So BEAUTIFUL!!! I just love the flowers you create!
Oh Lord, you are such an enabler! First I had to buy the window die and now it looks like I’ve got to buy the poinsettia die!
I love this card, the colors are gorgeous. Thanks so much for sharing your wonderful ideas. Have a great Christmas Kittie!
Just Gorgeous, I saw some pink poinsettias going into Michaels the other day, such a pretty change from the red.
I posted my Christmas card projects using your pine branch look, and gave you credit, thanks for the inspiration and tutorials 🙂
Your card is so beautiful. Love the
colors.
I’m sure your family looks forwards to
the lovely cards you make for them. I
know I would.
Beautiful Card…You may have to hand deliver it but anyone would be happy to receive it.
I know I would!
This is absolutley stunning! I posted a card today after using your tutorial on making the pointsettias but it does not hold a candle to one of yours! My petals all shifted to being on top of one another instead of being turned slightly. I will have to try again. Your tutorials are the BEST and we so appreciate the time you take to pass on your talent. I watched your bow video’s last night and they are great.
Thank you again for your generosity in sharing all the “how to’s” for us all.

Kittie, your creations are simply gorgeous! I had to get the window dies & the pine branch punch after seeing your work, but haven’t had much time yet to play. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful cards & the tutorials! Merry Christmas to you 🙂
Dear Kittie,
Good day! Your cards are so gorgeous. I was inspired by the birds nest card that I made one last night. I’m inviting you to see my card at
