Happy Holiday Poinsettias

Hello and welcome back, everyone! Today I'm over on the SVG Attic Blog spreading Christmas joy. Can you believe we are five days away from November? I decided to get a head start on Christmas starting with a card and gift box featuring these beautiful poinsettias from the JGW Poinsettia Passion Kit! I have to say that I love the poinsettias from this particular collection, they're easy to cut and assemble. I borrowed the box from the JGW Gone Fishing Kit.

You can find easy to follow tutorials on the Needles 'n' Knowledge Blog: Poinsettia Doily Frame Card and the Trout Jumping Gift Card Box. 

The card is a 6 x 6 card which is perfect for showing off that gorgeous poinsettia.

The box is 5 x 5 x 1.5 with a gift card insert and there's extra space underneath to add candy. This would be perfect for a co-worker who loves candles. A gift card to a candle shop and a small pack of votives. I assembled the box in less than 10 minutes, it's super simple. And I like to remind everyone about my favorite tip of using binder clips while assembling projects. It truly keeps your hands free and that keeps things moving along. 

I have to tell you the paper is My Mind's Eye -  Winterberry. It's so beautiful, I love the colors. 

As always, thanks for joining us!

Christmas Wishes

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm taking over the SVG Attic Blog today and sharing one last Christmas project. Can you believe tomorrow is Christmas Eve and I still needed gift tags?

 The gift tag is from the JGW Just Sew Collection - Easel A7 Tag.

I love this tag because the recipient can display it so easily. The trick for this tag is one 12 x 12 piece of double-sided patterned paper. I used Photoplay's Mad About Plaid paper. 

The poinsettias are from the JGW Poinsettia Passion Collection - Poinsettia Doily Framed Card. To create them I used PhotoPlay's Mad About Plaid and resized two of them in smaller sizes.  Once I had them cut out I simply added Distress Oxide Ink in Candied Apple and Fired Brick on the petals.  Using an Embossing Ink Dauber and Gold Embossing Powder I added texture to the largest flower. It really popped those flowers off the tag.  I used the same green Mad About Plaid paper to cut the leaves and greenery. I flipped the pattern on the leaves, every other leaf.

As always, thanks for joining us today!
