Layer these florals by masking your stamps and creating lovely bouquets, whether for Christmas or Spring, masking is the key.
It’s Christmas week, and these cards are really bringing this holiday vibes as we count down to the big day. Today our designer Shelly is showing off this fun poinsettia bouquet. Shelly said, “For my last card I used the Poinsettia Elegance stamp set. For my card today, I’m using the same exact set but changed it up a bit to show how one stamp set can be used in many ways to give a different look.” Check out this classic floral holiday card for those upcoming Christmas craft ideas.
