Card Making Project - Poinsettias Topper Card
Made by Madeleine
For those of you who don't have a die cutting machine Madeleine has made this Christmas card using papers from the Frosted Lace paper pack and a die cut foiled topper from the Poinsettias sheet.
If you are starting to panic because you still have lots of Christmas cards to make then this one can be made in under half an hour. It's also a suitable project for anyone who is new to card making.
The paper packs that we sell are chosen because they have papers that work well together so you'll always have papers to hand that will mix and match perfectly with one another.
The card is simply matting and layering. To add interest the upper mat has been cut so there is more border at the top and bottom than the sides; the lower mat is cut so there is more border at the sides than the top and bottom; and the matted layers have been glued to the card blank at an angle.
