And here is a selection I made in a very short space of time.. Once I had come up with the idea I churned them out in no time at all and in as many colours as I had to hand!!
Using the Marianne Creatables Poinsettia (LR0122) I cut out 2 shapes in White card stock and 1 in Green.
Layering them all together and off setting them slightly, adding a gem in the middle as a focus point...
I then embossed a piece of White card stock using the Marianne Designables Embossing Folder called Classic (DS0911).
This was matt and layered onto the same Green card as I had used for my Poinsettia leaves so as to keep the theme running through the project.
I then mounted my completed Poinsettia on to the embossed image
and then added the two elements to my base card to which I had already added a small strip of the Green card to..Quick, simple and effect!! It says "Christmas" to me! How about you??
So, that one done and out of the way, it was only a hop, skip and a jump to make a few more samples...
Something a little more contemporary!!
And something a little more traditional!
Then back to contemporary
for my last couple...
I hope that these simple examples give you some inspo to get your Crimbo crafting under way, if you haven't started already that is!!Thanks for checking us out & see you soon.

Lovely cards Andy - it's great to see how different the same thing can look just by changing the colours.
