Happy Friday, Friends! Irene here with a Poinsettia Christmas card. This project features the Blooming Noel Stamp set and the Evergreen Elegance. Let's get started!
I wanted my card to resemble a gift and began by cutting burlap paper to A2-size. I also trimmed red textured card stock to .5 inch x 4.25 and .5 inch by 5.5 inch. I stamped the Blooming Noel layers in black ink and colored the images with Copic Markers. I used YG61, YG17, and G46 to color the leaves. I used the lightest color (YG61) to color the entire leaf area, YG17 as the medium shade, and G46 to add the darker shading.
I used R46 and R43 to color the red of the poinsettia. I first colored in R43 and purposely left white areas in my coloring. I then used R46 to add richer color and shading. Next, I used a white gel pen to add highlights.
I stamped a leaf and the berries images from the Evergreen Elegance stamp and colored it like the poinsettia. I also added gel pen highlights and used glossy accents to add shine. I used "Joy" from the Flora Wreath stamp set for the sentiment.
I added the burlap paper to heavy card stock for added stability. Then I added the red strips and crossed them to be the ribbon of my "gift." I added the leaf directly to the panel using liquid glue. Next, I added the larger red piece with foam tape and tucked the Evergreen Elegance leaf and berries behind it. Next, I added the smaller red image with foam tape for extra dimension. Finally, I added "Joy" to the lower right corner of my card with foam tape.
And Done! I hope you enjoyed this project. Thanks for reading along! Have a fabulous weekend!

It was a nightmare that began last year. I’m Irene, a single mom who had scrimped and saved to build up 3 bitcoins, my entire life savings, worth over $200,000 at the time. I kept them in a hardware wallet, but one day, I got a phishing email that looked legit. Foolishly, I clicked, and hackers stole my seed phrase. In minutes, my wallet was drained. Funds vanished into anonymous addresses. I reported it to the police, but they said crypto thefts are hard to trace. Devastated, I sank into depression, thinking it was gone forever. Months later, scrolling forums for hope, I stumbled on stories about Alpha Spy Nest, a cyber forensics team specializing in crypto recovery. Skeptical but desperate, I emailed them at alphaspynest@mail.com. They responded quickly, explaining how they’d use blockchain analysis and partnerships with exchanges to track the thieves. They assigned a specialist who dove into the transaction history. The hackers had laundered through mixers and DeFi protocols, but Alpha Spy Nest’s tools pierced the veil. They identified wallets linked to the scammers and coordinated with legal teams to freeze assets. It took weeks of updates, nerve-wracking, but transparent. Miraculously, they recovered 2.8 BTC minus fees, wiring it back securely. The rest was untraceable, but I got most of it back. They even advised on better security. Alpha Spy Nest restored my faith and finances. If you’re in my shoes, reach out via their site www.alphaspynest.org or WhatsApp +15132924878.

In the summer of 2024, I Elizabeth Hugo faced a nightmare that many crypto investors dread. I had invested $150,000 in Bitcoin and Ethereum, meticulously building my portfolio over years. One fateful day, a phishing email tricked me into revealing my wallet credentials. Overnight, my digital assets—$100,000 in Bitcoin and $50,000 in Ethereum—vanished. The platform I’d used was a scam, and my funds were siphoned into the dark corners of the blockchain. Devastated, I scoured forums and legal avenues, but hope seemed lost.Then, I stumbled upon Cyber Codex Revolution, a blockchain forensic firm renowned for recovering stolen crypto. Skeptical yet desperate, I contacted them via their website, sharing my transaction details. Their response was swift and professional. A specialist named Clara explained their process: they’d use advanced blockchain tracking to trace my funds and employ legal and technical strategies to retrieve them. Within days, their team of expert hackers and investigators began analyzing the scam’s digital footprint. Using cutting-edge tools, they traced my Bitcoin and Ethereum through a maze of wallets, uncovering the fraudsters’ tactics. Clara updated me regularly, explaining how they identified a weak point in a decentralized exchange where my funds had been transferred. Cyber Codex executed a smart contract exploit to freeze the assets, preventing further movement. The recovery process wasn’t instant—it took three weeks of relentless effort. They collaborated with international law enforcement, leveraging legal pressure to negotiate with the exchange. Finally, Clara called with the news I’d dreamed of: they’d recovered 90% of my assets—$135,000 worth of Bitcoin and Ethereum—safely transferred to a new, secure wallet.Cyber Codex Revolution didn’t just restore my crypto; they restored my faith in justice. Their expertise and dedication turned my despair into triumph, proving that even in the decentralized world, hope can prevail.

After months of hopeless despair and emotional exhaustion, I finally saw a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel, thanks to Alpha Spy Nest, the team that helped me recover my lost life savings of €842,000. My nightmare began when I invested in what seemed to be a promising crypto trading platform. The website was sleek, the representatives were articulate, and the returns initially looked genuine. But slowly, the red flags started appearing. Withdrawal delays, repeated requests for more security deposits, and eventually, total silence. I realized too late I had been scammed. Desperate to retrieve my funds, I fell into a deeper trap, the world of fake online recovery agents. These so-called experts promised to retrieve my money for upfront fees and blockchain tracing charges. One after the other, they vanished after taking more of my money, deepening my losses and leaving me emotionally shattered.I was on the verge of giving up when a forums thread mentioned Alpha Spy Nest, a team specializing in cyber forensic investigations and crypto scam recovery. Skeptical and emotionally numb, I contacted them as a last resort. What stood out immediately was their professionalism. They carefully listened to my case, reviewed all the documents, transaction hashes, and communication logs I had compiled over the months. Their team used advanced blockchain tracing techniques and coordinated with relevant crypto exchanges and legal authorities. I was kept in the loop every step of the way, with regular updates that gave me a renewed sense of hope. Days passed, and then I received the message I never thought I’d see, part of my funds had been successfully frozen. Over the next few days, through a series of legal procedures and digital tracing, a total of €782,000 was recovered into my secure wallet. I broke down in tears. After endless months of being deceived and manipulated, Alpha Spy Nest not only brought back my money but they restored my faith. website:www.alphaspynest.org
