Celebration Label Poinsettia

I saw this card somewhere and thought that it was a neat use of our new Celebration Label Dies!  The other cool thing is that the Poinsettia Dies can cut out some of the poinsettia's from the Poinsettia Place DSP. I love it when my dies can be used for multiple effects! 




Measurements:  

  • Very Vanilla: 4" x 8 1/2", 4 5/8" x 6 3/8", 2 1/8" x 3 3/4"
  • Poinsettia Place DSP: 4" x 5 3/8", 3" square (poinsettia)
  • GoldFoil: Scraps
To Make this Card:

  • Cut largest label from Very Vanilla. Use next size label to cut Poinsettia DSP.  Layer together
  • Fold 4" x 8 1/2" piece in half. Attach labels to front of folded card. the bottom should be even with the edge of the "label".
  • Stamp message in Soft Suede onto piece of Vanilla.  Cut out with label from Tasteful Labels Dies. Attach to card as shown.
  • Cut 3 "sprigs" from Gold Foil and one Poinsettia from DSP.  Attach Poinsettia to card with Dimensional. Tuck "sprigs" underneath, where desired.
  • Finish with several scattered Gold Glitter Enamel Dots.

Blue & Silver Card

The picture of this card does not do it justice.  It is absolutely gorgeous!! And, depending on the Foils and Glimmer papers you use, it would be good for many occasions!


Measurements:  

  • Thick Whisper White: 1/2 sheet cut LENGTHWISE
  • Feels Like Frost DSP (N): 4 ¼” square
  • Silver Foil: 1 3/8” x 4 ¼”, 3 ¾” square
  • Balmy Blue Glimmer (N): 3 ¾” square 


To Make this Card:

  • Fold Thick White cardstock in half.  Adhere DSP to card, starting at fold. This does not have and "edge" around it. And this time the fold is at the TOP. Trim the front of the card even with the DSP edge.
  • Cut "berry" Wreath from the Balmy Blue Glimmer paper and "smooth" Wreath from Silver Foil. (Imagine the numerous GORGEOUS combinations you can come up with!!)
  • Layer wreaths onto front of card. Add a bow, and small glimmer flowers from center of Wreath. I added rhinestones to the centers of the small flowers.  You might need to add an extra Mini Glue Dot, as nothing likes to stick to the glimmer paper!
  • Finish by running the Sliver Foil strip through the Daity Diamonds Embossing Folder, and adhering to bottom of card.  I LOVE the look of the embossed foil!
