Christmas Card With Flowers For Every Season

Christmas Card With Flowers For Every Season

It’s never too early to start on Christmas cards and this one is the first of the season! It’s easy to get started on holiday cards like this Christmas Card With Flowers For Every Season with this poinsettia paper pattern and Christmas stamp sets in the Annual Catalog.

It’s amazing that the Flowers For Every Season 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper has a holiday pattern of poinsettias in the package! Just three days ago was 6 months until Christmas Day so I should have made this card for that day!

The card base is Just Jade, one of the new In Colors and one that coordinates with this designer paper. There is a layer of Poppy Parade with a piece of designer paper covering just part of the Poppy Parade. The designer paper layer is 5 1/4″ x 2 3/4″.

Before adhering the designer paper and Poppy Parade layer to the card base, I added a strip of Gold 3/8″ Metallic-Edge Ribbon around the edge of the designer paper.

The greeting stamped on the Poppy Parade at the bottom is from the Perfectly Plaid Stamp Set in the Annual Catalog. You could stamp this on another piece of cardstock and layer it or even heat emboss it in gold, but I went for the simple method!

After adhering the layer to the Just Jade, I tied a bow with the ribbon and adhered it with Mini Glue Dots to the ribbon. You could also put it in the center of the card

This is just a very simple card to get started on the holidays! It’s quick and easy and you can make several cards with the four sheets of this paper in the package.

Peaceful Poppies Birthday Card in Poppy Parade

Peaceful Poppies Birthday Card in Poppy Parade

Make this easy and bright Peaceful Poppies Birthday Card in Poppy Parade with this great floral paper! It’s sure to brighten someone’s day and all you have to do is change the greeting for the occasion.

It’s funny sometimes how a card comes to be. I was making another project which I will show another day and in my package of Poppy Parade paper, I already had a folded card base. The Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper was also on my table that I had used on the other project and this particular paper jumped out at me. So I thought why not just go ahead and make another card and make it rather quick and easy!

All I had to do was cut a 4″ x 5 1/4″ piece of the designer paper I liked and wrap a piece of ribbon around it before adhering to the card base. The ribbon I used is the Poppy Parade 1/2″ Textured Weave Ribbon which is a really nice, soft ribbon that is easy to use even though it is wide and looks like it would be heavy.

The greeting is stamped in Poppy Parade Ink and is from the Beautiful Friendship Stamp Set. I made a card with that stamp set recently because sometimes we forget about the great stamp sets and products in the Stampin’ Up! Annual Catalog when we are glued to the extra Mini Catalogs of the season. I punched it out with the Everyday Label Punch. The problem then is what to layer it on! I tried various die cuts and things and finally settled on just adhered the punched piece to a piece of Granny Apple Green Cardstock and then just cut around it with Paper Snips! It’s not perfect but you can do it and it doesn’t have to be perfect. What person who gets the card is going to say, “I wish she had cut that curve better!”?

For a bit of embellishment I added two Gold Glitter Enamel Dots on the greeting. You could also add some sequins to the card or tie on ribbon on each side of the greeting.

If you are staying at home to avoid getting sick, this is a good time to make a stash of cards to keep on hand, but also to send! Just think how anxious we all are and how receiving a card in the mail will brighten someone’s day like nothing else will. And if it comes from YOU, that makes it the most special! Use this design of my Peaceful Poppies Birthday Card in Poppy Parade in the same colors or change the colors or change the greeting or the ribbon and then mail it!
