Copper Poinsettia Gift Card

Gorgeous slimline card in copper foil  that is designed to look like a gift!  This would be great to use as a gift card! It is so much more impression in person!

Measurements:  

  • Pretty Peacock: 7" x 8 1/2"
  • Copper Foil: 3 1/4" x 8 1/4", 1/2" x 8", 1/2" x 3"
  • Brightly Gleaming DSP (N): 3" x 8"

To Make This Card:
  • Cut the 3 Poinsettia Petals from the center of the Copper Foil layer, making sure that you still have 1/8" edge. Attach remaining piece to folded Pretty Peacock card. And then attach DSP on top of that to hide where you cut out the "petals".
  • Attach 1/2" strips on top of DSP, so that it looks like ribbon on a package.
  • Shape poinsettia "petals" with bone folder and assemble with a Dimensional between each layer. Attach to card over criss cross of 1/2" strips.
  • Finish by creating a flower center with one large pearl, and surrounding that large pearl with a circle of smaller pearls.

Poinsettia Slimline Card

This is another card that I spotted somewhere and put my own twist to it!  I love the amount of space you have to design a Slimline card!  It showcases your images so nicely. It makes nice use of the partial images of the DSP!


Measurements:  

  • Very Vanilla: 7" x 8 1/2", 7/8" x 4 1/8"
  • Poinsettia Place DSP (N): 3 1/4" x 8 1/4", 2 Poinsettias, 3 "berries", 1 partial poinsettia
  • Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper (N): 1 3/4" x 8 1/4"

To Make this Card:

  • Attach DSP to folded Vanilla base. Attach Plush paper to card as shown.
  • Cut out 2 "poinsettias" using the coordinating dies from the DSP. Cut 3 sprigs of "berries" with the coordinating dies from the DSP, and "fussy" cut a partial poinsettia.
  • Stamp greeting in Soft Suede onto the strip of Vanilla.  Attach partial poinsettia to wrong side of this strip.  Attach to card, so poinsettia does not hang off the edge of the card.
  • Attach one poinsettia flat, and the second poinsettia with Dimensionals onto card.  Tuck the "berries" under the poinsettia as shown.
