Poinsettias for CASEing Coast to Coast

Welcome to our monthly posting we call CASEing Coast to Coast! Last month, I CASEd Rosanne’s beautiful floral framed card (see it HERE). This month she will CASE my design, and I’ve chosen to show poinsettias from the Poinsettia Petals Bundle.

I know it’s early for a Christmas card, really! But our Aug-Dec Mini Catalog came out this month, and I was eager to play with this poinsettia bundle! The embossing detail on the petals and leaves puts it over the top! Here’s a look at the whole suite.

I’ve used the stamps, dies, and DSP in this card. But you can see there are so many more products to create beautiful cards with!

Make This Card

• Begin with a base of Soft Suede Cardstock, 8-1/2″x 5-1/2″, scored and folded at 4-1/4.”
• Cut 1/4″ strips of BumbleBee Cardstock and glue to the sides of the woodgrain print DSP 5-1/2″ x 3-1/4″.
• Cut/emboss 3 Real Red poinsettia petals using Poinsettia Dies. Stack and layer them together with Mini Dimensionals.
• Cut a BumbleBee center using the dies. Glue to the center of the flower. Keep the dots that fall out!
• Cut/emboss four Garden Green leaves using the dies. Arrange and glue under the flower.
• Cut/emboss three Old Olive leaves using the same dies. Arrange and glue under the flower.
• Cut three red and three Gold Foil sprigs, again with the same dies. Arrange and glue under the flower.
• Stamp sentiment using Soft Suede ink onto Very Vanilla Cardstock (I used the thick cardstock for more stability) and crop out with Stitched So Sweetly Dies. Adhere with Dimensionals.
• Add three Holiday Rhinestone to the label.

For more poinsettia fun on the inside, cut two tiny flowers (they come out embossed, too!) and add the tiny dots that fell out of the center piece on the main flower. I also added some green ones after looking at photos of the real thing. Stamp a Christmas or holiday greeting with Soft Suede. Last step = the envelope. This DSP is from the suite as well. So pretty!

Here’s a close up of the detail. I hope you’ll want to order this Poinsettia Petals Bundle, or perhaps the whole suite! You can place your order for the bundle HERE and for the entire suite HERE.

Now let’s “travel” to the East Coast and see what Rosanne has created for you! I can’t wait to see! You can view her post HERE.
