Other Supplies Used: Smooth White Cardstock, Versamark Clear Ink, Scoreboard, Paper Trimmer, Die Cutting Machine, Sharp Scissors, and Scale.
Instructions: The top-fold ready card measures 8″ X 5 1/2″. To prepare the card base, cut white cardstock, one piece of 8″ X 5 1/2″ and the other piece measuring 8 1/2′ X 5 1/2″. Score the second piece on 1/2″ on 8 1/2″ side, fold and crease well. Use this 1/2″ hinge to glue the other piece of white cardstock on top. Next, cut green color paper from the designer paper collection, measuring 7 1/2′ by 5″. Distress all the sides using sharp scissors and mat the paper on the ready card base using an adhesive that dries clear.
Choose the coordinating paper from the designer paper collection, measuring 7″ by 5″. Distress the edges with sharp scissors and mat it on white cardstock, creating a white border of 1/16′ on all the sides. This will make the second layer of the card panel that holds die cut frame.
Cut one frame each from Luxe Gold cardstock and white cardstock using Decorative Circle Frame Die and glue them together keeping the gold one on top. Layer the die-cut frame on the green solid frame cut using the same die. Next, wrap maroon ribbon around the die-cut frame and secure it from the back. Layer the frame on the ready card front. Next, cut the solid eyelet circle using the same die set from the coordinating paper and stamp the sentiment from Candlelit Poinsettia Cling Stamp Set using Red Geranium Archival ink. Layer it on the die-cut frame using foam dots as shown.
Stamp one large swirly foliage image from Holly Berry Spray Cling Stamp using Versamark clear ink and sprinkle gold heat embossing powder. Dust extras and heat emboss it using a heating tool. Cut the swirl using its cordinating die. Ink it softly using leaf green archival ink. Also stamp the small filler thrice from the same set, this time using Library Green and cut it using its coordinating die. Ink it using Leaf green archival ink.
To prepare Poinsettias, Stamp 6 pieces of smallest and 3 pieces of second smallest Poinsettias on Deluxe Flower Shaping Cardstock using Plum archival ink and cut them using their coordinating dies. Next, ink the flowers using Red Geranium and shape the Poinsettias using Golf Groove tools. For Flower centers, stamp with Buttercup, cut the same and color them with the same ink on both sides and shape them and glue them in the flower centers. Glitter the flowers using Rajni Chawla’s Frosting Powder.
Once all the elements are ready assemble a small bouquet of poinsettias as shown with the help of hot glue. For the finishing touches, add a satin ribbon bow and few dazling glitter drops.
