This is my second “Christmas in July” card, using the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle. Yes, it’s an Online Exclusive favorite! I began with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″, colored with Small Blending Brushes and three colors of ink: Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, and Pool Party. After coloring the layer, I glued it to a Garden Green card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.

Poinsettias

Next, I used Pretty Poinsettia Dies to cut Two Tone Cardstock in Garden Green, Granny Apple Green, and Real Red. To make a poinsettia, I glued two rounds of Real Red bracts to one round of Garden Green leaves, and a center of Granny Apple Green. Then, I attached three poinsettias to the card front with Dimensionals.

Pretty Poinsettia is one of the sets that Stampin’ Up made to give extra dimension to the die-cuts by using an Impressions Plate. It comes with instructions, but I’ll try to explain. You’ll need to run the die-cuts through the Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine two times. The first time you will cut as you normally do: plate #1, plate #2, plate #3, paper, die (cutting side down), plate #3. The second time, you will leave the cut paper in the die, turn it cutting side up on plate #2, which is on top of plate #1. Then, place the flexible, Impressions Plate on top of the die-cut, top it with plate #4, and run it through a second time.

“Most wonderful time of the year” is from the Pretty Poinsettia Stamp Set. I stamped it in Garden Green Ink on Basic White Cardstock, used a Scalloped Blooms Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. After attaching three, clear, Epoxy Shapes, my card was complete.
