A good friend who is a long time cardmaker asked for some Christmas card kits again this year. After her stroke she has limited vision but continues to do as much as she can!! I have made the kits so they will be easy for her to put together. For this one I started with an ivory card which I folded so it would be ready to go. I embossed the green shimmer cardstock with a floral embossing folder and added a line of double sided tape on the top and the bottom so she could locate the ribbon anywhere along the card front and the remaining tape would be helpful in securing the layer to the card along with some glue for the middle. I created the poinsettia using my Nestibilities. I used only the two smallest ones, embossed them and then added a gold sequin and brad to secure all the layers together. I added 3D foam tape to the back which has blue release paper which will make it easier for her to see. The gold embossed Merry Christmas greeting also has a strip of double sided tape on the back which will hold it in place.
I am so glad to be able to make kits for her allowing her to still enjoy making cards for her friends and family!! She is such a gracious person and counts everything to the good!! Therese
