Happy Saturday! This week’s blog hop theme is “Christmas Flowers”! So many pretty flowers for Christmas…of course, Poinsettias being one of them! I love the red ones, but white is my next favorite!
Stampin’ Details:
- The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Soft Sea Foam cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded to form base card.
- A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Shimmer White paper was sponged with Frost White Shimmer Paint, then added to the base when dry.
- The leaves from the Poinsettia Dies were cut from Soft Sea Foam cardstock. The Poinsettia petals from Very Vanilla cardstock and adhered together.
- The stems were cut from Whisper White and Wink of Stella added for some sparkle.
- The Beaded Pearls embellishment was added to the center.
- Merry Christmas was stamped with Memento Black Ink on a 3/4 x 4 piece of Soft Sea Foam cardstock, then tucked under the flower.
I love how this turned out! OK, next up on our blog hop is our Create with Connie and Mary website, then on to creative Mary Brown, or head backwards to see Brenda’s fabulous card and see what everyone did with this challenge!

Oh I feaked when I saw this poinsettia card and immediately made it! Lucky I had all supplies on hand! Brsutiful thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Cheryl! One of my favorite cards!!!
I love the Poinsettia but my dies are not the same leaves as the ones you used. What dies did you use for the leaves? Thank you for everything you post. I love them.
That is a card posted in 2010 and I used the old Poinsettia Petals Bundle (not the current Pretty Poinsettia bundle).
