For the past few weeks, I’ve been sharing a variety of Christmas card designs. This Poinsettia Petals Christmas card is one of my favorite designs. To cut the flowers petals, the Poinsettia Dies cut the Red Velvet Paper Pack creating a gorgeous poinsettia flower. For an elegant card base, the Wonder of the Season Memories & More cards with matching envelopes work perfectly. For added elegance, the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper and the Beaded Pearls embellishment are used. And for extra glam, the sentiment is heat embossed using Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Below the photo, you’ll find tips for creating the card along with a list of project materials.
Materials:
- Poinsettia Petals Bundle
- Wonder of the Season Memories & More Cards with Envelopes
- Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (3” x 4”)
- Red Velvet Paper Pack
- Garden Green Cardstock & Garden Green Classic Ink Pad
- Silver Foil Sheet
- Whisper White Cardstock
- Versamark Pad
- Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder
- Beaded Pearls
- 5/8” Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon
- Adhesive Sheets (3” x 4”)
- Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals
- Glue Dots
- Paper Snips
- Sponge Dauber
- Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
- Heat Tool
Directions:
- Using the Poinsettia Dies, cut the following:
- from the Red Velvet Paper Pack
- one large poinsettia layer
- one medium poinsettia layer
- one small poinsettia layer
- from Garden Green cardstock
- from Silver Foil Sheet
- Attach the 3″ x 4″ adhesive sheet to the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper. Then, attach to the card base front being sure to center inside the red frame on the card. (TIP: use adhesive sheets with vellum style paper to attach without the adhesive showing)
- Assemble and layer the poinsettia (large, medium, small flower) using glue dots and Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the layers. TIP: place the mini dimensionals under the layers of poinsettia petals for added dimension to the flower.
- Use the Garden Green Classic Ink Pad to sponge edges of leaves..
- Attach leaves and silver fronds behind the poinsettia using glue dots.
- Tuck strips of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon behind the leaves & fronds with glue dots.
- Use mini Stampin’ Dimensionals to add the flower to the left side of card front atop the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper.
- Stamp sentiment using Versamark onto Whisper White cardstock, top with Silver Stampin’ Emboss Powder and heat set. Let cool slightly, then trim the paper around the sentiment using paper snips. Attach to the card using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
You’ll definitely see more creations from me using the Red Velvet Paper Pack! Cutting the velvet paper with embossing style dies creates added dimension. I hope you’ll give it a try.

In a previous post, I shared my card design for a recent Shoebox Swap that I attended. Today, one of the cards from another card maker is being highlighted. It is a poinsettia crisscross pocket card and absolutely gorgeous! Linda Edwards, at Crafty Heron Designs, prepared the materials so each attendee could create the card. Not only did Linda present this card design but she also hosted the event. It was a delightful day and all in attendance had a wonderful time.
Isn’t the card beautiful?
It was simple to cut the poinsettia flower from the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper using the coordinating Poinsettia Dies. I just love it when images from designer series papers have dies that coordinate! To showcase the poinsettia, the Forever Gold Laser-Cut Specialty Paper provides the perfect base. The crisscross card is cut 1/4″ smaller and mounted onto a 5-1/2″ x 4-1/4″ piece of Thick Very Vanilla cardstock. The combination of Whisper White and Very Vanilla makes an elegant card. Notice how one side of the crisscross is topped with the designer series paper and the other is texture embossed. This adds an extra WOW element. For the sentiment card, stamp with Versamark and heat emboss using Gold Stampin’ Emboss Powder. Then, layer atop a piece of gold foil paper. To create a pull for the card interior, punch a slit using the Label Me Fancy Punch and thread ribbon though slit.

Oct 14, 2020 | 2020-2021 Annual Catalog, Arrange A Wreath, Bundles, Cards, Christmas, Holiday, Stampin' Up!, Uncategorized |
Have you started making your holiday cards? If not, you’ll want to consider the Arrange A Wreath Merry Christmas card I’m sharing. It’s one of the holiday card designs that I’ll be using as Christmas approaches. The design is an Arrange A Wreath Merry Christmas card and is from my Guest Stamper presentation for the Luv 2 Stamp team. In previous posts, I provided you with other ideas for using this versatile stamp set and die bundle. The Arrange A Wreath Merry Christmas card is one of my favorite projects using the bundle. The Merry Merlot and Brushed Metallic cardstocks along with the Gold Cards & Envelopes create an elegant card.
Card Details:
- With Arrange A Wreath dies, cut 2 leaf dies from the gold Brushed Metallic cardstock and one twig die from the Merry Merlot cardstock.
- Using the largest flower die (6 petal flower); cut 6 flowers from the Merry Merlot cardstock.
- Spritz the Merry Merlot flowers and twig wreath with the Champagne Mist. (Does not show in photo but the spritzing adds a special glimmer touch!) After drying, layer two of the flowers together using a glue dot to hold the layers (creating 3 poinsettia flowers).
- Next, stamp 5 leaves using Old Olive Classic Ink Pad onto Old Olive cardstock and cut with the coordinating die.
Create a 3 layer wreath:
- Attach the Merry Merlot twig wreath atop one of the gold leaf wreaths taking note to offset the twigs with the leaves. TIP: use small dots of Multipurpose Liquid Glue along the circle line of the wreath to adhere the wreath.
- Next, add the adhesive to the back of the remaining gold leaf wreath and layer it atop the Merry Merlot wreath. AGAIN – offset the placement so the leaves aren’t lined up with one another.
- Add Mini Stampin’ Dimensions to the back of the wreath and add to the top portion of the card base.
- Attach leaves to the poinsettia flowers using glue dots. Arrange flowers and add to the wreath with glue dots.
- Finish the flowers by adding Gold Glimmer Enamel Dots to the center of each flower.
- Use the Detailed Trio Punch to punch the design on each end of the Merry Merlot cardstock for the sentiment label.
- Next, stamp “Merry Christmas” using Merry Merlot onto a strip of Very Vanilla. Then, attach to the Merry Merlot strip and add to the card front using Stampin’ Dimensionals.
If you want to create a special card, look at the Arrange A Wreath bundle for lots of possibilities. I’ve been cutting additional wreaths to use for creating more Merry Christmas cards. So when the time arrives to start mailing my holiday cards, I can quickly assemble. And best of all, using the beautiful Gold Cards and Envelopes saves lots of time!
