Poinsettia Wagon + Coupon Code

The year is flying by and while the weather is hot here in Washington, we know that some of you are starting Christmas projects. Our big holiday release is in October, but if you want to stock up on some “oldies but goodies” in the Christmas section, now is the time!

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am embracing Christmas in July and wanted to show how you can mix and match floral stamp sets to put in the wagon image from the Flower Garden stamp set! For this card, I am using the Poinsettia Corners stamp set so we can make a Christmas card.

To make sure it has enough time to dry, we’re going to start with the stenciled background. I cut
a piece of olive green cardstock with the second largest square from the Wonky Stitched
Squares Dies
. Using the Swiss Dots Stencil, I added in Game Over Lunar Paste which is a
cranberry red stencil paste.

I stamped my images next with alcohol marker friendly black ink and white cardstock so I could
color them in with my Ohuhu Art Honolulu Markers. If you would like to know which colors, I
have the marker caps showing in the video and read the colors as well. After coloring in the
wagon from the Flower Garden stamp set and poinsettias from the Poinsettia Corners
stamp set
, I used the Flower Garden coordinating dies and Poinsettia Corners
coordinating dies
to cut them out.

When coloring the wagon, I did not color any of the floral images and trimmed the image down
so there was just a small area for me to use foam adhesive to add my poinsettias. I also layered
in the smaller poinsettias around the wagon with liquid adhesive and attached the images to my
stenciled wonky square.

For the background of the card, I cut a piece of cranberry red cardstock to 4×5-1/4″ and added
Walnut Stain Distress Ink around the edges as well as splattering to create some interest on the
background cardstock and would not look too plain. While it was drying, I embossed my
sentiment from the Holiday Scripts stamp set in white on black cardstock and used the
Holiday Scripts coordinating dies to cut them out.

To assemble the card, I glued the red cardstock to the center of an A2 card base and then the
stenciled background with images to the top of the card so there is an even border around the
top and sides of the wonky square. I glued my Merry Christmas sentiment beneath the square
and added a few 4mm Clear Droplets for some added shine but keeping my color scheme.

I hope you have some fun “altering” your wagon garden with different floral sets from Pretty Pink
Posh!
