Hello friends
Yes, in the midst of Summer I'm sharing a Christmas card!
But whatever time of year it is I cannot resist Layered Poinsettia.
This is a ODW card (One Die Wonder) - just the one die set used on this project.
You can easily see the main Poinsettia but the fancy edging ...yes that is
the tips of the Poinsettia petals.
It is always interesting to see what you can achieve with one die set.
In case you fancy making a nice early start on your Christmas card (I know I should!)
I've got a stock of Christmas dies in my Amazon shop or please feel free to
get in touch by email - christine.emberson@blueyonder.co.uk
This is my last scheduled post - the next one should be me back home and
telling you all about my trip!
Take care friends.

Shows what can be done with one die. Love the poinsettia die and use it with felt on Christmas cards. Be great to have you back bet you enjoyed your working holiday in Arizona.

Hi Christine,
Great card, I have this set too and you cannot fail to make a good card with this die for Christmas, especially if lacking inspiration and you have an enormous amount of cards to make.

Love the ODW Christine. I've also bookmarked John's blog and had a clear out of those I used to visit every day, but they just stayed the same for days on end. Have a safe journey home.
Good morning Christine, the card is really lovely. I know I should be thinking about Christmas cards but keep putting it off.
I'm sure that although you have had a great time in Arizona you will be happy to get home to the family.

Hi Christine, love the card and like so many other crafters I like to use this die all year round. Just by changing the colours you can create a totally different looking flower. Your week away seems to have flown by so quickly. Hope you have a safe and delay free return journey. Janice xx
Hello. A simple card but very effective with the hint of a background paper and that great die set. It will be good to have you back and catch up with news of the boys - I'm sure we all feel we're part of the family now and have missed you. Bet you had a simply wonderful time but will be glad to be home again. xxMargaretxx
Stunning card,i've been using these dies myself lately making a start on my Christmas cards. Great dies love them xx hazel

Hi Christine
A lovely card. I recently bought this die and have been so pleased with it. The stencilling is so effective on these ones. Can't wait to see what you've been up to in the US.
Best wishes

Hi Christine, Fab card as usual from you. Looking forward to your safe return and what you have got to tell us all! Safe journey home.
Absolutely gorgeous, Christine and I looooove the bling! Your trick for the border is truly inspired. I'll have to get my set out and have a go too.
