We used the beautiful Poinsettia Petals stamp set and Poinsettia dies for October’s classes and made three pretty cards.

To recreate the 3D embossed Poinsettia card, you will need:

Garden Green card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded on the long side at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner.
Real Red – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner.
Real Red – 5⅞” by 4⅛” – for die cutting
Whisper White – 5¼” by 3½” –Rounded upper left corner – for the outside
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner – for the inside

The sentiment from the Peaceful Boughs stamp set was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the smaller Whisper White panel. The panel was then run through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine with the Tasteful Textiles Embossing Folder.

The embossed layer was added to the Real Red panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive and the strip of Heartwarming Hugs added using the same adhesive. The whole piece was then added to the Garden Green card front using the same glue.

Using the Poinsettia dies, we cut and embossed the 3 layers of petals from the larger panel of Real Red. We used a sponge Dauber and Cherry Cobbler ink to add depth of colour to the edges of each petal. We used Bone Folders to give the petal shape and adhered the 3 layers together with adhesive.

The flower was added to the card front using liquid adhesive. We used a gorgeous Beaded Pearl to the centre of the flower and a scattering of Red Rhinestones to complete the card.

To recreate the Poinsettia Spray card, you will need:

Real Red card base – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded on the long side at 4⅛” – Rounded upper left corner.
Garden Green – 5½” by 3¾” – Rounded upper left corner.
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – Rounded upper left corner – x 2 for the inside and the outside

We stamped the full poinsettia flower in Cherry Cobbler ink onto one of the Whisper White panels. Prior to the class I had stamped the same image onto a Post It Note and cut it out to use as a mask.

With the mask in place we stamped the outline leaves in Garden Green ink and added the infill colour in stamped off Garden Green ink. The berry sprig was stamped in Soft Suede ink and infilled with Bumblebee ink before the mask was removed.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set was added in Garden Green ink.

The poinsettia was coloured using Cherry Cobbler and Real Red Blends Markers and the centre was coloured with Mango Melody Blends.

The stamped panel was glued to the Garden Green layer then added to the Real Red card base on Dimensionals and a trio of Red Rhinestones added to complete the card.

To recreate the Merry Christmas card, you will need:

Thick Whisper White card – 8 ¼” by 5⅞” – scored and folded on the long side at 4⅛”
Soft Suede – 5 ½” by 3 ¾”
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Real Red – 3⅝” by 1⅜”
Whisper White – 3⅝” by 1”

We used a 1” wide strip of Post It Note and placed it about 1¼” down from the top of the Whisper White panel.

Starting with the largest image we stamped above and below the Post It Note. The leaves and sprigs were added filling in the space above and below the Post It, building up the texture as we went. The colours we used were Real Red, Soft Suede, Bumblebee, Pear Pizzazz, Garden Green and Pool Party. The Post It strip was the removed.

The stamped panel was glued to the Soft Suede layer and then to the Thick Whisper White card base.

The sentiment was stamped in Garden Green ink onto the 1” strip of Whisper White and the panel was mounted on the Real Red layer with glue and then added to the card front on Dimensionals and a trio of Red Rhinestones added to complete the card.

I really hope you like the cards.
