Caryn, you not only design great stamps but create beautiful cards. This is no exception. I love how you framed the cute sentiment and arranged your poinsettias. Happy New Year!
I love this bright, bold color! It’s really eye-catching and packs a beautiful punch!

The card is gorgeous and congrats on designing such a beautiful stamp set. Thanks
Beautiful card! It is so festive. Love the colors and design!
Your called Glitter Me Silly. Where’s the glitter on your card? LOL
I really like your card. Last year I was in a supermarket & I saw someone with a blue poinsettia plant with glitter on it. I thought it was artificial but it wasn’t. It didn’t last very long and some mutant ninja squirrels dug it up when I planted it outside but it wasn’t red. I had never seen a blue one before but I like the color of yours too. It looks so much like Christmas with the red and green and I love the border around the sentiment. Thanks for showing us your pretty card and for giving us the chance to win something.
Beautiful card, the design is so eye catching.

Gorgeous card! So colourful. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I don’t know if it ever gets old for you, using stamps that you’ve designed, but it’s certainly a delight for us to be able to see what the creator had in mind. Obviously your coloring is beautiful, and the mini-frame matches that sentiment perfectly, but I think my favorite part is that I can see this being used as a design year-round. I think your stamp is quite versatile that way, so thanks for not only a Christmas card, but probably a lovely idea for an Easter card as well!
Thanks for sharing this beautiful card. I can’t wait to try something using a frame inset on the card,it makes a dramatic focal point.
I love the bold red frame that leaves lots of white space. I struggle with white space, but now I want to try this! Thanks!
