I have a lovely non-traditional Christmas Poinsettia to share with you today. Although I really do the traditional red and green for Christmas, I have lately been doing non-traditional colors. I love this because I can change the sentiment out and use it for a winter Birthday!!! The dies I am using in today’s project are the Poinsettia Dies from our Annual Catalog along with Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set for the Sentiment.

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS/INSTRUCTIONS:

Card Base: Blushing Bride 4 1/4″x 11″ Scored at 51/2″ or in half
Vellum 2 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ Embossed in Parisian Flourish 3D Embossing folder.
Die Cut Poinsettia Petals (See Die Cutting Tip in the image below)
Use Dauber and Blushing Bride ink to sponge edges to give your project a little pizazz
Sprigs Die cut in Pear Pizazz
Use Glue dots to layer petals and Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach sprigs and to give our petals dimension.
