The 12 Days of Christmas Cards Day 12!!!
Day 12 already! It has flown by. The Christmas season is in full swing and my kiddos are busy writing out their list of coveted items. Of course, I say oh that’s nice, where is your list of ideas for others? I’m usually met with silent stares laced with guilt. Back to the card, today’s card features a fun fold design just to switch things up a bit.
Look at those gorgeous poinsettias! I love how they turned out. The Tricolor Spectrum Noir markers are perfect for adding depth and shading to these stamped images. I am liking these markers more and more. The poinsettia is from the Traditional Holiday, and for the sentiments, the Whimsical Holiday stamp set. I stamped them in black pigment ink and then finished them with clear embossing powder. They are lovely to the touch with all that texture!
You open the card to reveal another sentiment hidden behind the first! This is a very simple fold. To see how I folded the card I suggest watching the YouTube tutorial below. To add color, I trimmed some rectangles from the Holly Jolly paper collection and I wanted to give the poinsettias a little more presence so I tucked in some greenery sprigs. These I borrowed from the Complete Creativity Collection.
Below I added some splatters with my Red Shimmer Pen to the card on the left. I like them both so you can add those splatters or not 😊.
In the video, along with the card tutorial, I take a quick walk down memory lane showing each of the cards I created for this series. I have my favorite and I’d love to know which one is yours! Leave me a comment here or on my video to share your vote! Thank you for visiting and as always happy crafting!

Thank you so much for this series of cards, I have really enjoyed following along and learning new tips along the way. I have made variations of six of your cards (the first five and number 10 – loved how quickly that one came together!) I hope to get to the others as well.
