Hello friends! I’m thrilled to join Simon Says Stamp for their Festive Fun Release Blog Hop. I have a Christmas card to share made with the new Poinsettia Swag stamp set + coordinating dies. This is what I call a “true Yana card” with a dark background and lots of drama!

CARD DETAILS
I started working on this card by heat embossing the Poinsettia image in Antique Gold embossing powder on Simon’s #130 LB cardstock. Next, I colored this image using my go-to colors of Copic Markers: R22, R24, R27, R39 (poinsettia, I also used Faber Castel colored pencils to add some fine line details); YG03, YG63, YG67 (leaves). I used the coordinating die and cut the image out along with a heat-embossed “Joy to the World” sentiment.
I used a white pen and added dot detail to the berries and line detail to the poinsettia. I also splatter white pigment all over this die cut.
I used a black card base (I love the drama this provides), added a white panel for the inside of the card to be able to write a message on the inside. Next, I cut a panel of Fog cardstock to 3 1/2″ x 3 3/4″ and stamped Old Letter in watermark ink for a tone on tone look, I foam mounted this in the center of my black card base.
Next, I foam mounted my die cuts and added the gold gems to embellish this card. Love the result!
Have fun crafting!
