Welcome!
Or should you be welcoming me back? Lol, I know, life's still a bit of chaos for me but I'm back with a couple cards... Unfortunately, the first card was made for FMS #714, which I totally missed (oops) so I'll post it now ~
And I was SO excited to enter this one! Oh well, I still like it. The "square" is a partial cut from an NBUS product suite (more details below), stenciled and cut. The sentiment was foiled from a new-to-me glimmer product from sweet Michele, then cut into a tag and popped up.
And a touch of shine from the foiling and center of the poinsettia, that I used Nuvo drops on. Also, zoom WAY in and you'll see the finest thread of gold string, tied in a neat bow! Here's the sketch, had I actually made it - lol. And since a new product used, this'll head to NBUS #81, as well as JUGS #803 - Stencil week.
Onto my second card, which will join Peace on Earth #100 (Happy Birthday, Ladies!) I was inspired by their kraft, red and white since I don't own a single gingerbread man!
And here is a showcase of the full product suite from above... You first stencil (5 layers), then die cut with an all-in-one die to use as a cover. My centers were again given Nuvo drops, and the berries are red stickles. I gave this suite to Michele as a gift, then loved her card SO much here, I had to buy another! Michele's card is fantastic, please do go see it -- such beautiful colors!
The NBUS Peace die sentiment was cut twice, stacked and added with a little foam.

Well, that's it for me today! I hope your week is off to a great start.

These are both just gorgeous, TK! Too bad you missed the sketch challenge, but so happy you made our JUGs challenge! Thanks for playing along this week!
Two absolutely beautiful cards TK! I can totally see the sketch in the first card and I love the CAS look to this card!! Your 2nd card in the gingerbread colors is fabulous and I just may have to CASE this color pairing with florals...soooooo pretty! Lovely, lovely cards my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Both cards are so beautiful! Great job!
Gotta love a pretty end result from a good stencil! Love these cards. Thanks for sharing at JUGS!
Wow! Gorgeous set of cards, TK! That poinsettia die is beautiful and I love the unexpected and soft colors you used on the die cuts. It really makes them pop.
Lovely duo of cards TK. I like that you were able to take the colors of the gingers tomake that lovely poinsettia card. YOur first card has lots of sweet bits.
Too bad you didn't make the challenge but it's great to know you can use a portion of the die cut to make a fabulous background for your ornament,TK. The full stencil/die is gorgeous and I'm so glad you shared it with us at Just Us Girls.
TK, so glad you are back, and these gorgeous cards are a great way to show us you are back!
I am in LOVE with the color choices for the first card. The soft - almost citron - leaves with the pale pink poinsettia are completely on trend, and I love how you arranged them. The sparkle and shine from the sentiment is the perfect finishing touch to this gorgeous card.
I love all the texture on your second card, and that you used a large sentiment. Gorgeous.
Welcome back!

I love your poinsettias both single and multiple! The pink one is so elegant with that thin gold ribbon and it's perfect with that sketch! What a great set! I don't blame you for 'needing' it for yourself!
