Hi friends! Today I’m back with more holiday inspiration featuring the beautiful Sentimentally Speaking Holiday Stamp Set and Die Set from The Rabbit Hole Designs. I paired it with the elegant Poinsettia and Pinecones Stamp & Die Set which is the perfect combination for timeless, festive designs.
I’m getting a jump start on next year’s Christmas cards, and these sets make it easy to create something classic and heartfelt. After all, it’s never too early to sprinkle in a little holiday magic!
I began by stamping the poinsettia and leaves, then coloring them with Copic Markers for a festive, detailed look. After coloring, I cut them out using the coordinating dies and set them aside.
For the background, I trimmed a piece of white cardstock to A2 size and added a 2" x 5 1/2" strip of red cardstock to the right side. I softly blended gray ink around the edges of the red panel to add depth, then adhered it with liquid adhesive.
Next, I die cut a grosgrain ribbon from black cardstock and adhered it to the left side of the red strip for a bold contrast. I arranged the poinsettia and leaves on the lower portion of the card and popped them up using foam tape for added dimension.
The sentiment was stamped in red ink, cut with the matching die, and placed centered above the poinsettias to balance the composition. To finish the design, I scattered a few gold sequins for a touch of festive sparkle.
Thank you for visiting—see you again soon for more crafty fun!
