Hi, the Poinsettia Trio die set is new for this year so I thought I would give it a test run. Poinsettias are so Christmassy and I think the cut out petals and leaves on these look really delicate.

To Make The Card

Start with a white 5″ x 7″ blank card and trim it down to 12.5cm x 17.5cm, this makes it much easier to cut the sizes of layers. I decided to cover the whole card front with red card so you could make a red card base instead. Cut a piece of red card 12.5cm x 17.5cm and adhere to the card front. Trim a piece of beige/taupe card to 12cm x 17cm and layer it over the red. Use two stitched rectangle dies together to cut a stitched rectangle frame from gold mirror card 6.5cm x 11cm. Adhere this to the card front slightly offset to the left.

Use the same red card to die cut one of each size of the poinsettia flowers and glue the large and medium flowers on top of one another. Cut a large and small flower centre from gold mirror card, adherer the bigger one to the large flower and the small one to the other. Cut three leaves from green card. Arrange the flowers and leaves around the bottom left hand corner of the frame and adhere in place.

Stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment in gold on a strip of the beige card, with the right hand end cut at an angle. Layer this on to red card leaving a very slim margin. Use foam pads to adhere the sentiment strip across the right side of the frame. Finish off with some self adhesive gold pearls above and below the flowers.

I am pleased with this card, I think the colours work well and the little pops of gold here and there give it a really festive feel. Thank you for visiting, all the products used are linked below.
