Christmas Card Stack - Poinsettia

I used red velvet and gold metallic poinsettias on these cards. I selected red and white card stock.  The background shape was cut from Designer Paper with a Cricut and the "Just Because Cards" cartridge. It fits well on a A2 card. The greeting was color printed red on white card & green on red card. I cut them  with my Creative Memories oval cutter.  Isn't it nice that it fits so well in the bottom oval on the background shape.  I layered a white and a smaller red silk flower over the larger poinsettia.  After using a push pin to create a hole a gold brad was place through the hole and holds all the flowers in place.  I used a variety of green designer papers. The ivory poinsettia paper was the best match for the gold poinsettia. 

Card Club - Sail Boat

One of the card today is for Father's Day!  The sail boat was cut with the Cricut with the Just Because Cards cartridge. Using three layers, navy, white and red.  I used the same colors in the greeting which was color printed and trimmed to the border.  I used a nice soft blue designer paper for the background. A strip of the same navy is placed behind the greeting. I offered several alternate greetings.

Card - Exchange

I made these cards for my exchange group.  I started with the metal medallion in white.  I wanted a paper that would contrast nicely.  I had these Cricut cut with "Just because Cards" cartridge backgrounds left over from these cards. I thought that would well. I placed a length of white ribbon across the shape below the centre. I tacked it with a bit of snail adhesive in the centre to hold in place then taped the ends to the back.  I glued the shape to the black card front. I mounted the metal medallion in the top curve with 2 tiny black brads.  I glued the color printed oval greeting(cut with Creative Memories cutter)  in the bottom curve.  I added 3 silk flowers running along the length of the ribbon and those are held in place with tiny black brads. They worked out great!  Very versatile design because with just a change of flower you can have variety.
