Reason for the Season Pink Poinsettia

Posted on by

Hi, Stampers!  I have for you today a Pink Poinsettia card featuring the Stampin’ Up! Reason for the Season Stamp Set.  Do you like pink poinsettias?  I think they are very pretty.  Therefore, the color pink was my driving force when creating this card.  Plus, I like thinking outside the box and not going with the “normal”.  It’s more exciting!

Reason for the Season Pink Poinsettia

The card’s primary layer is a piece of Stampin’ Up!’s Whisper White Card Stock (100730) on which I stamped the poinsettia stamp from the Stampin’ Up! Reason for the Season stamp set.  I covered the poinsettia stamp with Versamark Ink, stamped it randomly around the card stock, and heat embossed the images using white embossing power.

Using Rose Red, Wild Wasabi, and So Saffron Stampin’ Up! Classic Inks, I sponged the inks over the embossed poinsettias.  I used the Festive Flower Builder Punch to make the pink poinsettia that sits at the bottom left of the card.  (NOTE:  You can get the Stampin’ Up! Reason for the Season Stamp Set and the Festive Flower Builder Punch as a “bundle” and save 15% on the cost.)  I embellished the poinsettia with yellow beads and a piece of gold elastic cord.

For the card’s sentiment, I ran a piece of whisper white card stock and a Spellbinders Nestabilities Oval Floral template (S6-028) through my Big Shot to produce the oval cutout. Using Wild Wasabi Classic Ink, I stamped the sentiment, “Jesus is the Reason for the Season” (from the Reason for the Season stamp set) onto the oval.

Stampin Up Watercolor Winter

As the calendar turns to October, I begin to think about holiday cards like this one that features the Stampin Up Watercolor Winter Stamp Set.  The card is actually a birthday card for a special person who has a birthday during December.    Stampin Up Watercolor Winter

This view of the card shows the dimensions of the key elements from the Stampin Up Watercolor Winter stamp set:

I love the pine needles and cones from the Stamping Up Watercolor Winter set.  In the past I have resorted to making my own pine needles for cards.  So this set will go a long way in speeding up my stamping of pine-related elements on cards.

Today I have for you a Zentangle Valentine that features the Stampin Up Hearts Collection Framelits. 
 
What are your favorite colors for Valentine cards?  I don’t have a favorite. Therefore, I am not adverse to using non-traditional colors, as I did for this Zentangle Valentine card.  As you can see, my non-traditional colors are pink and green. I added some zentangle/doodling on the primary piece of the card (e.g., the leaves, circles, etc.).
