This is my penultimate Christmas card for the year and I have my final New Zealand themed Christmas card. I have used a similar design that I have used in the past but this time I changed the orientation and I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Victoriana Crest Dies for the background and used pink papers and a pink poinsettia for a more non-traditional feel to go with the summer Christmas themes. Once again I have used the fantail image from Montarga Rubber Stamps shop as my focal point on a background of stenciled clouds. The Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Poinsettia and Winter Greenery Honey Cuts are just gorgeous and make it so easy to create beautiful bouquets of flowers and foliage on my cards.

Yikes!!! Christmas is just around the corner!! I really don’t know where the time has gone but I am feeling very organised for my Christmas cards this year. My theme has been white, gold, pink and green and I have another Christmas card to share with you today to inspire you. I have used the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace February 2022 Die of the Month – Marvelous Medallion. I love how easy it is to get the gold shadows with this set. I have paired this die with the Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Sleigh poinsettias and the gorgeous birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Frame Gala dies. The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Make a Scene dies. I made a lot of flowers and birds at once so once I did my die cutting this card came together very quickly.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project:
I made a top folding 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I layered one gold card and two white layers to the front of the card. The top layer has been embossed with the Amazing Paper Grace Flourished Holly embossing folder.
I die cut the two medallions out of gold and white cardstock and layered the white top layer over the gold layer. These were added to the front of the card . I then die cut two banners out of white cardstock and stacked them together and adhered it across the centre of the medallions. I die cut two Merry Christmas sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Make a Scene dies and stacked them together before adding them to the banner.
The poinsettias have beenI have handcrafted the green and pink poinsettias out of flower shaping paper using the poinsettia dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – November 2020- 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh.and adhered them to the top right of the banner and bottom left of the banner over green leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – November 2020- 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh.
I made a pair of birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Frame Gala dies out of gold and white cardstock and added a touch of pink to the bodies of the birds and then added them above the poinsettias.
To finish the card I have added some gold pearls around the flowers and sentiment.
