Today is penultimate day of 2020 and I know that Christmas is over but I'm still feeling the festive spirit. Here you are my last Christmas card in 2020.
I used S4-960 Cinch and Go Poinsettia to create beautiful flowers. They are so sweet and delicate. I love them. I used Distress ink to add some colour inside.
I added some snowflakes from S5-429 Snowflake Splendor. I put them under flowers and on the background. Christmas leaves are from November 2020 Die of the Month where you can find amazing small flowers poinsettias and these leaves.
I made small poinsettias using S4-960 Cinch and Go Poinsettia and decorated my card. I put leaves from November 2020 Die of the Month.
Little birds are die cut from a gold paper using S5-428 Holly Frame Gala. This set is absolutely amazing and includes birds, ornaments, deer, bow, holly leaf, ornament hanger and more.
Have you seen my last card featuring a Sweet Blooms Border Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection? I love this plate so much so I decided to create another card.
I had a lot of fun creating this one. The flowers are so beautiful.
I coloured my card's background using waterbased dye ink "Oasis". Then I foiled a Glimmer Sweet Blooms Border twice on a white paper using a Gold Foil. I coloured them with Copic markers. Using scissors I cut the flowers out and arranged on the background.
In the middle I put sentiment foiled from GLP-218 Heart Melt Sentiments.
Today I am introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for December 2020, Rose Garden Promise.
Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these beautiful dies to create with.
Becca shares her inspiration for this 5x7-inch frame-worthy card front that resembles the look of stained glass. She says, " 'God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December,' a quote by James M Barrie. It is precisely that quote that inspired me to think of roses at the end of the year. It has much to do with the promise of an approaching spring, buds bursting forward, and the gift of hope. As one who loves rituals, I finished off 2019 with a die template that featured roses and decided it was worthwhile to pay them homage at the end of 2020."
Isn't it only fitting to go forward with hope for the future and for new and worthwhile things that will break through. From the entire Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, let this be a beautiful end to your year; we hope that through making, it brings with it the bonus of lovely memories.
We want to inspire you with different combinations using the December Die of the Month, Rose Garden Promise etched die. These are a few of our ideas!

There are four (4) dies included in the Rose Garden Promise
My Project Today using Rose Garden Promise
I prepared a card using colourful papers. Firstly, I die cut roses from white cardstock and glued everything on the paper. Then I die cut each petal separately using different colours. I did the same with leaves. Every element was embossed to make some dimension.
It was quite time-consuming but worth it.
The sentiment was foiled from Heart Melt Sentiments from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken. I used a gold Roll Foil and Glimmer Hot Foil System.
My second creation is a box decorated with gold Roses. I die cut from a gold mirror paper and cut off two corners with roses. On the box's sides, I glued decorative elements from the same set.

I foiled the border once on the left side, then I flip it and foiled again on the right side. This way I have covered my card. I used a Glimmer HotFoil Roll Gold and Glimmer Hot Foil System from Spellbinders.
