HAPPY POINSETTIA

Hello!

Well, I've never made so many Christmas cards in one season and surprise to me: 

THEY ARE MY FAVORITE, AND THE EASIEST TO PUT TOGETHER!  

TECHNIQUES

die cutting (words, stitched frame)

marker to rubber (flower)

heat embossing (mini sentiment)

stacked die cuts ("Happy")

glitter glue ("Happy")

funny story:  I die cut the stitched frame nearly last and neglected to factor in that I would crush not only my stacked "Happy" (which started out 4 cardstock layers high), but also all the rhinestones.  Grrrr.  but wait...there's more. I ended up pressing all the textures in my Big Shot plate into the word Happy (which led to me struggling for an aha moment about how to camouflage THAT - glitter glue helped).  Sometimes I just get too excited with the next step that I don't even think of the consequences to my poor card or tools  ;o)
