The Poinsettia Dies that bundle with the Poinsettia Petals stamp set are a whole amazing story all on their own. They can die cut three levels of a flower to put together for sure, but they also have an inset for the dies that embosses the veins on the petals and gives them that extra realistic texture. The same goes with the leaves, and centre. It's a set that is really worthwhile having. If you don't want to emboss them, you can stamp the petals and leaves with the Poinsettia Petals stamp set and then just die cut the outlines. That's what I did here.
The other thing I noticed when I was die cutting pieces of this card for my Catalogue Launch make & takes on Saturday was that the leaves would make great holly leaves, too. I can feel a wreath taking shape!
Take a close-up look:
- Now you can really see that embossed texture in the leaves and petals!
- The berry sprigs are also a die cut from the Poinsettia Dies.
- The sentiment is from Poinsettia Petals stamp set and is embossed with Gold Stampin' Emboss Powder on a tag die cut using Tasteful Labels dies.
- The background Designer Paper is from the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper. I also added a strip of Gold Foil Sheet to the card front and some Real Red 3/8" Sheer Ribbon tied in a little Fork Bow and wrapped around the foil. I love the whole vintage look of this card.
- It's easy to curl the petals of the flower with your bone folder and attach the layers together using Glue Dots.
