This set includes three different sizes of poinsettia blooms you can use solo or layer up for extra drama. With both outline and solid layering images, the mix-and-match possibilities are endless. And just when you think it couldn’t get better—there’s also a sweet pinecone and a perfectly festive pine branch to help you build your own winter floral arrangement.
WARM HUGS CHRISTMAS CARD
For my card, I stamped the poinsettia outlines in Archival Ink Red Geranium and layered them with Distress Oxide Lumberjack Plaid for that rich, cozy holiday red. I used the two largest flowers, die cut them, and popped them up with 1mm foam adhesive for dimension. The centers got their golden glow from Archival Ink Fossilized Amber (outline) and Distress Oxide Scattered Straw (solid), also with a bit of foam adhesive to make them shine.The pinecones came to life with Ground Espresso and Gathered Twigs, while the pine branches got a mix of Rustic Wilderness and Peeled Paint for that fresh-from-the-forest variety.
For the background, I grabbed some patterned paper from the Vicki Boutin Mistletoe & Memories collection, trimmed it to size, and added subtle stamping with the Special Delivery Stamp Set in Versafine Clair Sand Dune for a soft, tone-on-tone effect. I inked the edges with Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide, distressed them with a Ranger Sanding Disc for a bit of rustic charm, then layered it over another coordinating paper from the same pack.
To finish things off, I added a sentiment from the Special Delivery Stamp Set, die cut with one of the included dies—because no festive card is complete without a merry message!
I hope this little burst of holiday inspiration gets you excited to try out the new 49 & Market Christmas stamps and dies from Sizzix. They’re perfect for adding that handmade magic to your holiday season!
