I really love this poinsettia made with the Velvet paper and Poinsettia dies from the current mini catalog. The dies not only cut but emboss the veins. So beautiful in person. My friend showed me a card similar to this that another demonstrator had done. This is my version. This card folds in on one side as shown in photo to fit into a standard A2 envelope.
Stamps: Poinsettia Petals
Ink: Real Red & Garden Green
Paper: Garden Green and Whisper White card stock, Red Velvet paper and Poinsettia Place Designer series paper.
Accessories: Stamp, Cut and Emboss machine, Poinsettia dies, Paper trimmer, Simply Scored scoring took, Bone folder, Stamparatus, Acrylic block, Tombo Multi liquid glue, Beaded pearls
Directions:
1. Start with a Garden Green card base 8 x 3 1/4". Score at 1 1/4", 2 1/2", 5 1/2" and 6 3/4"
2. Cut a strip of Garden 1 1/8" by 5 1/2". Cut Whisper White 2 7/8" x 4 3/8". Cut one piece of Designer Series paper 1" x 5 3/8" and four pieces at 1 1/8" x 4 3/8".
3. Die cut poinsettia using all three sizes with the embossing dies inside the cutting dies. Glue all three pieces together with Tombo multi liquid glue and add a Beaded Pearl. Set aside.
4. Stamp your sentiment with Real Red ink using the Stamparatus for perfect placement. Using an acrylic block and Garden Green ink stamp leaves at the top left and right side of sentiment, allowing leaves to go off the page.
5. Glue stamp piece and Designer paper to card as shown in photo. Fold card like in second photo to add strip lining up at the edges of card about 1 3/4" from bottom. (decide if you will sign on inside or back of card before adding this piece). You can add an additional white panel to back of card to sign if you don't want to sign on the inside.
6. Place poinsettia in desired location and add glue only where it will be attached to card.
