Big, Bold JOY with a Pretty Poinsettia
Hi Crafty Friends!
I love adding a little extra charm to my handmade holiday cards and gift packaging, and the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle makes it so easy. Sometimes I stamp a single bloom, and other times I combine the stamps for a fuller look. Then I cut out the leaves, pine sprigs, and seasonal sentiments to build dimensional poinsettias that really pop off the card. This bundle has quickly become one of my favorites for adding detailed floral accents to my paper crafts this season.
How I made this card:
To start, I folded my Cherry Cobbler base card in half, using a Bone Folder for a sharp crease. Next, I layered a piece of Basic Black Cardstock (5 3/8″ x 4 1/8″) on top of the base card. Then I embossed my Basic White Cardstock with the Snowflake Sky 3D Embossing Folder and attached it to the front of the card.
For the letters, I used the Playful Alphabet Dies to cut “JOY” from a piece of Season of Elegance Designer Series Paper (DSP) (4″ x 2 1/2″). Before die cutting, I added a Foam Adhesive sheet to the back of the DSP so the letters would have extra depth. Once they were cut, I attached them to the front of the card.
Next came my favorite part, the poinsettia! Using the coordinating dies and the same DSP, I cut the poinsettia (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) and the leaves (4 1/4″ x 4 1/4″), then attached them just below the letter “Y.”
On the inside, I added a strip of the DSP to the bottom of a piece of Basic White Cardstock and adhered it inside the card. To finish things off, I attached a piece of the same DSP (6″ x 2 1/4″) to the envelope flap and trimmed it to size with my Detailed Scissors.
