Cut black card stock, one 6 X 6 and one 6 X 6 1/2" then score the 6 1/2" piece at 1/2".  Glue black pieces together with the 1/2"tab to form the card base.  Cut a piece of decorative paper 5 7/8 X 5 7/8” then glue it to the card base.  Cut 4 Starry Night borders from Black then glue them to the outside edges of the card.  Cut a full Starry Night “doily” out of black.  Cut a piece of dark blue decorative paper the size of the inner circle of the Starry Night doily and glue it to the back of doily.  Cut a larger circle out of green decorative paper (use the doily to get the cutting lines) then glue it to the back of the doily, now glue the paper pieced doily to the center of the card. 

Stamp poinsettias, holly, candle holly border, sticks, and pine boughs using black.  Color and die cut, poinsettias are sponged with Red Carnation ink, die cut and formed in the Shaping Mold.  Glue 3-4 layers of poinsettia together and then add Prills to the centers.  Cut a sentiment tag from the decorative paper.

Decorate card by starting with the poinsettia borders up each side along the green circle.  Add Candle, pine boughs and sticks to arrangement.  Glue 3 poinsettias and holly to the bottom left corner. Glue the sentiment partially under poinsettias.   Add glitter to poinsettias and card. 

My second card is made with the Classic Petunia

Matthew 5:14-16 New King James Version (NKJV)



14 “You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. 15 Nor do they light a lamp and put it under a basket, but on a lampstand, and it gives light to all who are in the house. 16 Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.
Are you living a life that gives glory to God, your maker?  He expects us to be His ambassadors here on earth and to do the works He has done and walk the walk He walked.
We are all sinners saved by His grace, strive to honor Him in everything you do.  Be kind, be honorable, be giving, pray for the sick, give to the poor and help in any way you can, speak with grace and let your words bring life to other.  Encourage, show compassion, walk in truth.
Jesus said "I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through Me".
Don't be afraid to share what good things God has done for you!!

Cut 3 Botanic Windows, cut the center decorative part for two of them.  For the last window cut one of the sentiments from the decorative paper using the arch die from the Botanic Window. Cut a piece of foam sheet with the window die and glue foam, window and sentiment together.  Cover the top with holly and poinsettia.
Choose two scenes for the other two windows.  Cut them out with the arch part of die.  Glue foam to the frame of the windows to pop up away from the outside scene then glue scenes to the foam.  Glue each completed window to the 3 sections.

Stamp (using black), die cut and color Candles and holly.  Stamp, using black, sponge with Red and die cut poinsettias.  Shape in the 3D molds then glue 2-3 layers together for each flower.  Add Prills to the centers. Glue a candle to the window of the first 2 windows (the ones with outdoor scenes) then glue small poinsettias to each candle arrangement.  Glue holly around the tops of the windows then glue one medium size poinsettia to the first section window.

Attach pearls to windows, top outside corners of card, and bottom outside corners of card.  Randomly add glitter to the card and scenes.  Glitter all the flowers to complete.
