Poinsettia Variations

A friend of mine was using the Altenew Poinsettia 3D Dies during one of our crafty Zooms and I had to jump on the bandwagon.  I LOVE this die set!  I've listed individual ingredients below each picture below.

I have a confession: I hate boba tea. There. I've said it. It's those tapioca bubbles--eww. But that doesn't mean I can't color up cute Mama Elephant Boba Tea notecards. You can read more about them on the Doodlebugs blog!

Xmas Rainbow Trees

I was inspired by a Stampin' Up card for these (couldn't find that post again).  I made do with the products and leftovers I had on hand (always the best way!).  I've listed ingredients as best I could; some have been in my stash for a coon's age.  Some of the cards I'm entering in challenges which I've listed below.

Used on all cards unless otherwise indicated:

Jolly Good

I've had this Spellbinders Santa die since clearance sales last Christmas and put it to great use this holiday by creating a make 'n' take for my crafty girls.  What an easy one too.  Minimal coloring and a random patterned paper oval to make each unique.

Whimsy - Ho Ho Ho

These new Whimsy Stamps Hey Ostrich images CRACK ME UP!  They are so darn cute and funny at the same time. I decided to Christmas them up using a Santa hat I fussy cut from the Gossip Holiday Girls set.

I decided to use Tartan 6x6 Paper behind the openings in the new Slimline Swiss Dots Die. I thought the plaid went so well with the neutral ostrich colors and that fun red hat.

I used the Bold ABC Dies to cut the "HO HO HO" from brown cardstock. I added some Stickles as snow as well as a few sequins for snowflakes.  I may need to mail this card to myself this year, I love it so much--LOL.

Greenery Card Redux

I decided that the original of this card was missing a little something-something so I added a foiled oval sentiment. Much better.
