I have been having some fun with the new Poinsettia Petals Bundle and today’s card is a simple take on the bundle which has some amazing 3D Poinsettia’s in it. I chose to keep todays card less 3D realizing that some of the beautiful 3D elements would not fair well when mailed long distances.
Here is what I came up with…
The card base is Crumb Cake cardstock that is cut 5 ½
x 8 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”. I then added a Mossy
Meadow layer that measured 4 x 5 ¼”.
I cut another piece of the Crumb Cake cardstock this
time to 3 ¾ x 5” and attached it over the Mossy Meadow layer.
Note: For the speckles on my card I used stamps
from Forever Fern and Christmas Gleaming (because I wanted two different sizes
of them) with Soft Suede ink, but there are lots of sets out there that have
these types of background stamps and any would work. I just find these kinds of elements just add
so much interest to the card front.
I stamped my Poinsettia onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler
cardstock (about 3 x 3”) using VersaMark ink and then I added Silver Stampin’
Emboss Powder and heat set it with my Heat Tool, I used the coordinating dies
from the bundle to cut it out. I stamped
my leaves onto scraps of Mossy Meadow cardstock using Mossy Meadow ink and die
cut them using the coordinating dies. I
cut two pieces of foliage (from the same bundle) out of Silver Foil Sheet. Once that was all stamped and cut out, I went
to work on my sentiment. I used the
Merry Christmas sentiment from the Poinsettia Petals bundle (I love the font on
this one) and I stamped it onto a piece of Cherry Cobbler (about 1 ¼ x 4 ¼”)
using VersaMark ink and embossed it again using the Silver powder. Once it was done, I cut it out using the
Ornate Layers Dies (I love the stitched look on these).
Now it is time to assemble. I started with my sentiment in the bottom
right corner and adhered it using Dimensionals.
Next, I added my Poinsettia, again with Dimensionals. The I added my two leaves with Dimensionals
and finally I adhered my silver foliage with some liquid glue.
Note: I did use my Bone Folder to shape some of the
petals on my Poinsettia and to shape both of my leaves. Remember, doing this gives the card some movement
which makes it much more interesting.
I hope you enjoy this card I certainly enjoyed making
