Seasonal Christmas Flowers Poinsettia Cards
by Brenda Noelke on Sep 22 2022
Hello, crafty friends!! Brenda here with my first blog post as a member of the talented & amazing design team!! I’m super excited to be able to share some of my creations with Picket Fence products!! I’ve always been a huge fan!!
I’ve really been enjoying creating with the latest September release!! One of the first sets that caught my eye was the stunning Seasonal Christmas Flowers Stamp Set!! The poinsettia is such an iconic holiday symbol and I couldn’t wait to color these!!
I began by stamping all of the images in the Seasonal Christmas Flowers Stamp Set with Black Hybrid Ink. After coloring them with Copic markers, I cut them out with the Coordinating Die Set.
I’ve always loved the contrast of black with bright red poinsettias, so I trimmed a panel of black cardstock to 4” x 5.25”. I adhered the leaves and holly with liquid glue and popped the poinsettias up with foam tape. I diluted some Snowdrop White Glaze with water and splattered it over the panel and poinsettias with a paint brush.
Once that was dry, I adhered it to a panel of white cardstock, then an A2 panel of red cardstock, before adhering it to my card base.
The sentiments, from the Swanky Christmas Sentiment Set, were white heat embossed onto black cardstock, then cut out with the Coordinating Dies. I love these fonts!! They were also popped up with foam tape.
For the finishing touches, I dotted some Golden Sparkle Paper Glitz onto the centers of the poinsettias with a stylus and added a combination of Dancing Reindeer & A Classic Christmas sequin mixes.
Thank you so much for spending a bit of your day with me!! Have a great Thursday and I’ll see you soon!!

Hey cardmaking friends and welcome back. It's Sandi MacIver here and today I have A Holly Jolly Christmas Card to share with you created with fun products from Picket Fence Studios.
In creating this card, I've added a smooth silky textured background for interest and depth. Paper Glaze and Paper Glitz are used in white which is striking but doesn't take away from the pretty holly art piece.
The gold mirror sentiment adds just the perfect amount of bling to the card.
How to create the A Holly Christmas Card.
Start with a 3-7/8 x 5-1/8 piece of Hammermill White Cardstock.
Place the Triple Weave Stencil over it and add Snowdrop White Paper Glaze through it with a spatula, going up about 3/4 of the way.
Next, cover a another piece of white cardstock 4-1/4 x 5-1/2, with a thin coat of Paper Glitz Sparkle and set that aside to dry.
Using a Misti, stamp the Holly Jolly Christmas Stamp in copic friendly Black ink and color with copic markers. Cut it out with the coordinating die.
COPICS USED:
Green: BG11, BG34, G19, G28
Pinks: RV34, RV17, RV19 RV69
For the Sentiment:
Use the Merry Christmas Word Topper Die over a piece of Mirror Gold card stock.
Next, once the Paper Glaze is dry, glue the word topper across the bottom of the card front. Flip it over and trim the ends before security it to a 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Spellbinders Blue Spruce cardstock.
Finally, trim to fit and then add the piece to a top folding A2 sized white card base.
Die Cutting the Snowflake
On the piece of cardstock with the Paper Glitz Sparkle, add the Snowflake Alice and die cut it out.
Cut two more in white cardstock.
Next, use the fine tip on the Bearly Art Glue to glue the snowflakes together with the shiny one on top and then glue it to the top of the card.
Finally, add the Holly piece with foam squares and you are done.

Hello crafty friends! Today i'm sharing one of the cards that I made for the 7 in 7 event. On this slimline card I colored through a stencil using Paper Glitz and a dauber. The products that I used for this slimline card are Slim Line Oversized Joy to the World Die, Slim Line Cut Flower Stencil, Paper Glitz Autumn Persimmon,
Paper Glitz Lime Christmas Green, Paper Glitz True Christmas Red and Slim Line Die Cutting System.
I started by adding Pixie spray to the back of the
Slim Line Cut Flower stencil, then I placed it on top of a heavy cardstock. I applied small quantities of Paper Glitz with dauber, coloring the center of the flower, the petals and the space around.
The colors I used were
Paper Glitz Autumn Persimmon, Paper Glitz Lime Christmas Green, Paper Glitz True Christmas Red. Next, I let the panel dry for about 20 minutes. Paper Glitz is a medium that dries very fast which is very helpful.
Once my panel was dry, I die cut it using a layering base die from the Slim Line Die Cutting System. I also added on top of this background a piece of velum. Then, I adhered a black folded card base.
On a piece of cardstock I applied
Paper Glitz Autumn Persimmon using a spatula and let it dry. Once it was dry, I die cut the
Slim Line Oversized Joy to the World Die out of it. Additionally, I die cut another set of these dies out of white cardstock to be used as a shadow behind the die cuts with Paper Glitz
Autumn Persimmon.
Finally, I added the Joy to the World die cuts on top of the velum using tape runner and this Slimline Christmas card was ready. Below you will find a list of supplies that I used to created this card.
I hope you like this card and give a try this very fun technique. Enjoy your week and happy crafting!
Your friend,
Karen
