Welcome to the 2024 instalment of the highly-popular 12 Projects of Christmas series! This year, we have a wide variety of festive makes for you, covering lots of techniques and styles to suit all tastes and ability levels. We hope that you enjoy it.

We're kicking off this year's series with this stylish Christmas Poinsettias creation by the fabulous Glynis. Using the Winter Wonderland collection for the main areas on the design, and sticking to a glamorous and timeless white and gold colour scheme, Glynis has produced this wonderful Christmas card that's deceptively quick and easy to recreate.

As an added bonus, we've created FREE project sheets for every tutorial in the series. You will find the link to today's PDF download sheet at the bottom of the instructions below.

What you'll need:

On the Edge Poinsettia die set
Elegant Christmas Verses stamp set
Elegant Christmas 8x8” foiled paper pad
Sparkelicious glitter – Crystal Crush, Stardust Gold and Diamante Sparkle
Self-adhesive Sparkles – Metallic
Sparklers – 10mm and 12mm
mirror card – Gold
Pearl card – Crystal White
WOW! embossing powder – Metallic Gold
WOW! clear embossing inkpad
Silver cord
Pinflair 3D glue gel
Art Glitter Dries-Clear PVA glue
Foam pads on a roll
A5 white base card
WOW! heat tool
Die-cutting machine

How to make:

1 Trim down a sheet of gold mirror card and patterned paper from the Elegant Christmas foiled paper pad. Glitter the four sides of the patterned panel using Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter, then matt and layer both panels onto the base card.

2 Die-cut the On the Edge Poinsettia die set onto the right-hand side of a panel of white card. Glitter the foliage, flowers and three sides using Crystal Crush, Stardust Gold and Diamante Sparkle Sparkelicious glitter. Die-cut once more for extra flowers and glitter. Using just the outer die, place onto a piece of gold mirror card and die-cut. Matt and layer the previous die-cut piece on top so that just a small gold rim is showing. Secure the silver cord in place and attach this layer to the base card with foam pads.

3 Secure the extra flowers in place using 3D glue gel and adhere a 10 or 12mm Sparkler to the middle of each one.

4 Stamp and heat-emboss the sentiment from the Elegant Christmas Verses stamp set. Matt and layer onto gold mirror card and secure in place with foam pads.

5 Finish by decorating the plain white background with a bow, 12mm Sparkler and Metallic Sparkles.
