Altered Flip Flap Poinsettia Card

 Here is a gorgeous card I found online.  It's a very fun and interesting fold, which makes awesome use of the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper!  And, did you see the EMBOSSED Velvet paper....too cool!  You MUST give this one a try!!




Measurements:  

  • Whisper White: 1/2 sheet, 3" strip (for poinsettia), 2 7/8" x 4 1/2", 7/8" x 3 3/8"
  • Real Red: 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Red Velvet (N): 4" x 5 1/4"
  • Silver Foil: 1" x 3 5/8"
  • Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (N): 3 3/8" x 8 3/8", scraps

To Make this Card:

  • Run the Red Velvet paper through the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder. Attach to folded White card.
  • Attach Real Red piece to inside of card.
  • Score the strip of Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper at 3 1/2".  Crease well with Bone Folder.
  • Attach the wrong side of the Plush piece to the Real Red piece inside the card, matching the crease in the "vellum" to the top edge of the Whisper White card. Close card, and fold 3 1/2" flap over the top.
  • Cut out the "Poinsettia" from Whisper White. Shape with Bone Folder and assemble with Mini Dimensionals. Attach to Plush "flap" with a Dimensional. Add beaded pearl to center.
  • Cut 3 "leaves" from Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper.  "Color" from behind with Lt Just Jade Blend to add color. (or, I found out later, try the Just Jade ink and a dauber). Attach to flap under "poinsettia".
  • Stamp greeting in Real Red ink onto strip of Whisper White, attach to Silver strip and attach to card with Dimensionals.
  • Finish inside by stamping message in Real Red and adhering to inside of card over Plush Vellum.
