Are you ready to see some gorgeous red and green Christmas paper? The Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper offers rich, traditional colors for your Christmas cards. This design is “quick & easy” with the exception of fussy cutting the poinsettia. But, even that didn’t take long. You can see all of the patterns of paper by clicking on the picture in my Product List below.

Painted Texture Poinsettia
Next, I used the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut three rectangles from Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper. Then, I used the largest Deckled Rectangles Die to cut Basic White Cardstock, and glued the three, smaller, rectangles in place.
Prior to gluing the layer to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″, I ran the entire piece through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Painted Texture Embossing Folder.
The sentiment, “Merry Christmas,” is from the Regal Reindeer Stamp Set, stamped in Evening Evergreen Ink on Basic White Cardstock. I used two cuts with the smallest Deckled Rectangles Die to create the smaller size. After gluing the tips of the poinsettia to the sentiment, I attached the flower and label with Dimensionals, and my “quick & easy” card was complete.
I was inspired by Freshly Made Sketches.
