Joy Christmas Present Card by Irene

Joy Christmas Present Card by Irene
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!

The night I realized my $194,000 had vanished, my heart didn’t just sink, it shattered. The crypto project I had trusted for months, the one that showed me glowing profits every week, was gone. Website deleted. Support lines dead. My wallet, empty. I barely slept. Every search led me deeper into the dark corners of the internet until I found a man calling himself a crypto recovery expert. He sounded confident, even urgent said he could trace my funds instantly if I paid a tracking fee. Desperate, I wired the money. Then came another legal fee, then a clearance charge. I kept paying, clinging to hope, until one day, his number went silent. I’d been scammed twice.That was when I found Alpha Spy Nest in an online forum where real victims spoke of real recoveries. I contacted them. They didn’t promise magic. They listened. Patiently. Professionally. Their team launched a full-scale digital manhunt, tracking blockchain trails, identifying shadow wallets, and working with international authorities. Every update was cold, hard evidence. I could almost see them tightening the net. Weeks later, before dawn, I got the message: We’ve secured the funds. I logged into my account, hands trembling. One by one, the numbers climbed, $164,000 stared back at me. It wasn’t just my money Alpha Spy Nest gave back, it was my life, my dignity, and my belief that even in the chaos of the digital world, there are still warriors who fight for the truth.

The sting of betrayal still burned as I stared at my empty crypto wallet. Months ago, I’d fallen for a slick online investment scam promising sky-high returns. My life savings of $50,000 painstakingly built over years, vanished in a single transaction. Desperate to reclaim it, I turned to online crypto recovery experts, only to be scammed again, losing another $5,000 to fake experts who disappeared after empty promises. Hope was fading, and shame weighed heavy. Then, a friend mentioned Alpha Spy Nest Recovery Experts, a group with a reputation for tackling complex crypto scams. Skeptical but with nothing left to lose, I reached out.The initial contact was different. No flashy guarantees or pushy sales pitches. I recounted my ordeal. They asked for transaction IDs, wallet addresses, and screenshots of communications with the scammers. Their team explained how specialized they are in blockchain forensics and had a track record of tracing illicit crypto transfers. I hesitated, scarred from past betrayals, but their transparency and detailed process gave me a flicker of trust. Alpha Spy Nest began their work immediately. They trace my stolen funds through a maze of blockchain transactions, identifying wallets linked to the scam. They explained how scammers often move funds through multiple addresses to obscure their tracks, but their proprietary software could map these patterns. Within days, they uncovered that a portion of my funds had been transferred to an exchange still holding the assets. The challenge was legal recovery. Their legal team stepped in, coordinating with authorities and the exchange to freeze the funds. It wasn’t easy, scammers had used fake identities, and international jurisdictions complicated matters. But Alpha Spy Nest’s persistence paid off. After weeks of negotiations, they recovered $48,300 of my original investment. It wasn’t everything, but it was a lifeline. Throughout, Alpha Spy Nest kept me updated, never sugarcoating the odds. When the funds hit my account, relief washed over me. I wasn’t whole, but I had a chance to rebuild. Alpha Spy Nest didn’t just recover money; they restored my belief that not everyone online is out to deceive. Their expertise and dogged determination pulled me back from the brink, proving there are still fighters in the shadows for people like me. Reach out to them via: www.alphaspynest.org
