Layered Poinsettia Cards with Angelica and Juliana

Hi Friends! Angelica here, and I am so excited to share my first Christmas Release project! Today we are focusing on the beautiful Layered Poinsettia Die Set.

I started by pulling out random scraps of pink card stock. I used a cactus green card stock for the back piece. Before assembling the flower together, I used Scor Tape to add a small minus (-) side magnet to the middle of the green bottom layer. I die-cut the pieces, then pieced the poinsettia together with thin foam squares and glue.

I used the stripe stamp from the Background Basics stamp set to add red stripes, then stamped and gold heat-embossed a sentiment from the Petite Poinsettias stamp set. I trimmed the panel down, and added the positive magnet to the back of the panel with Scor Tape. I used thin foam squares to attach the panel to a cactus green panel. I used the new Buffalo Plaid Embossing Folder to emboss white card stock, and attached it to a card base. I added the stamped panel with Scor Tape to the card base to finish the card.

Now the recipient has a pretty Poinsettia that can be kept out when it's time to put the Christmas cards away! I hope I have given you ideas on ways to use this die. That's all that I have for today. Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Sunny Studio Friends! It's Juliana here and today I'm excited to share my first Christmas card of the season! I'm featuring the Sunny Studio Layered Poinsettia Die paired with the Christmas Garland Frame Die and the Woodgrain Embossing Folder for a slightly rustic design.

I began by die cutting a mix of red, green and yellow cardstock using the Layered Poinsettia Die. After all the die cutting, I lightly inked the edges using Vintage Photo Distress Ink and an ink blending tool. Using a fine tipped liquid adhesive applicator, I adhered all of the layers together. I found it helpful to refer to the instructions that come with the die to help line up all the layers. I repeated this twice to have a flower for each corner of my card.

Next, I took a piece of green cardstock and die cut it using the tree garland frame from the Christmas Garland Frame Die. This die is super intricate and I highly recommend using a metal shim to get a clean cut with your manual die cutting machine.

I knew I wanted to achieve a slightly rustic feel, so I cut a piece of white cardstock to 4.25 x 5.5 inches and embossed it with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder. I then adhered the tree garland frame on top of this. For the sentiment, I die cut a piece of yellow cardstock using the Merry Christmas phrase from the Christmas Garland Frame Die. I adhered this to the center of the framed piece. I then adhered the poinsettia die cuts using double sided foam adhesive. For further embellishment, I added some berries using the red pearls from the Rainbow Pearls.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope you enjoyed the slightly rustic style Christmas Card featuring the Layered Poinsettia Die, Christmas Garland Frame Die and Woodgrain Embossing Folder.
