Christmas Card class project 3 was made using the fabulous Gingerbread and Peppermint Memories and More cards (p9), and a Poinsettia stamped from the Memories and More set. Two small pieces of the gorgeous Cherry Cobbler and Gold 1/2'Ribbon are anchored under the flower which is popped up on a dimensional.
The sentiment is Heat Embossed in white directly onto the card front.
In researching Poinsettia plants it appears the green leaves are the same shape and structure as the flowers, so the holly leaf, the pine branch and the round leaf stem seem wrong for the flower.
So we are using the Poinsettia flower stamped in green for the leaves. We stamped one large Poinsettia in the Real Red, and one small flower in Just Jade. It is easy to die cut the flowers and then snip the small green flower into 6 individual leaves which you can then poke in at the appropriate
angles under the large red flower. When you die cut the stamped flowers, cut 2 small flower centres from some coordinating foil at the same time
The tiny flowers are the finishing touch. Adhered to the centre of the red poinsettia.
This version had the sentiment stamped too low, and I did try the holly leaves which also look fine.
The Memories and More cards make it all too easy. Let me know if I can order some for you.
I hope you have a creative week and remember,
"don't just post online,
post something pretty!"
cheers, Liz
