IM154 – Poinsettia Petals

By | 1 Comment

Happy Monday! It’s time for our Create with Connie and Mary Inspiration Monday challenge!  Isn’t this a GORGEOUS poinsettia cake?

 

 

POINSETTIA PETALS

No surprise that Mary and my cards were VERY similar since we just HAD to use Poinsettia Petals Bundle on our cards!

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
    • A 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Whisper White is added on top.
    • Four 1 x 2-1/2 strips of Whisper White cardstock were added across the bottom half of the Whisper White layer.
    • A 1/4 x 5-1/4 piece of Brushed Metallic Gold was added across to hide the seams.
    • Three leaves were embossed/cut with the Poinsettia Dies from Shaded Spruce cardstock, then sponged with Shaded Spruce Ink and added to the front.
    • Two sprigs were cut with the Dies from Real Red cardstock and adhere on top of the leaves.
    • The Vanilla/Gold Metallic Ribbon was looped on each end, then adhered on the front.
    • The three sizes of poinsettia petals were embossed/cut with the Poinsettia Dies, then adhered together, the petals slightly bent.  It was added to the front over the ribbon with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • A Beaded Pearl was added to the center of the Poinsettia.

There is just SO much texture and sparkle on this card!  I love it!  OK…check out what Mary did with the Inspiration Monday Challenge over on Create with Connie and Mary!

Saturday Blog Hop – Fall Flowers

By | 2 Comments

Happy Saturday! This week our Saturday Blog Hop them is “Autumn Flowers”!  I was excited about this challenge because I knew I wanted to make a sunflower with the Poinsettia Dies!

Stampin’ Details:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Bumblebee cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • On top is a 4 x 5-1/4 layer of Crumb Cake cardstock, sponged around the edges with Early Espresso Ink and embossed with the Tasteful Textile Embossing Folder.
  • The 1-1/2 x 4 piece of Gilded Autumn Designer Paper was added to the right side.
  • A 3/8 x 5-1/4 strip of Early Espresso cardstock was added across the front.
  • The “sunflower” was made by cutting three of the medium poinsettia with the Poinsettia Dies from Bumblebee cardstock and adhere together.
  • The center was cut from Early Espresso cardstock with the smallest Layering Circle Die and embossed with the Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folder, then added to the center of the sunflower.
  • The three leaves were cut with the Poinsettia Dies from Old Olive cardstock and sponged with Early Espresso Ink, then tucked under the sunflower.
  • Two sprigs were cut from Cajun Craze cardstock and added around the leaves.
  • The greeting from Banner Year was stamped with Early Espresso Ink on a 1/2 x 3-1/2 piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, then trimmed to fit under the flower.
  • A trio of Bumblebee In Color Enamel Dots were added for the background.

Isn’t that a pretty sunflower?  And you get more for your buck from the Poinsettia Dies by using it for a different season.  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!
