Happy Weekend to all you crafters out there.
Today I'm popping in to share a card featuring one of the gorgeous Plush Poinsettia Specialty Papers along with a fwe other products that are all part of the Poinsettia Place Suite. If I could choose an address I think I would love to love on Poinsettia Place. When my Stampin' Up team did a Zoom chat when the August - December Mini Catalog was first revealed to demonstrators everyone predicted these products would be first on my list. My favorite way to decorate for the holidays is with lots of poinsettias!
Anyway, on to today's card:
- I took my cues from holly and sprigs pattern in the the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Papers. I colored the back with Real Red Blends
- You will want to use a fairly light touch when applying Liquid Adhesive to the back to keep it from peeking through.
- I butted the skinny strip of Real Red Cardstock up to the edge of the vellum. Normally I add these borders from teh back but it would have shown through the specialty paper.
- The holly leaves and sprig are stamped and die cut with the Poinsettia Petals Bundle. A little White sponging and Blends to the debossed area add extra dimension to the die cut holly leaves.
- Just Jade is the card base. I'm loving Just Jade with these classic Christmas colors:
Here is a quick close up of some of the details. I did use a little Wink Of Stella though my photos never caught it.
So long for today. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
