The Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper has beautiful poinsettias, which are fun to cut, once you get the hang of it. Stampin’ Up’s Paper Snips are the perfect tool for the job, and remember to move the paper, not the scissors.
Poinsettia Pines
The background for the poinsettias was created with two, large, Christmas Pinecone Dies. The bottom, thicker, layer was cut from Garden Green Cardstock, and the top, delicate, layer was cut from Boughs Of Holly Designer Paper in darker green. After cutting, I glued the pine layers to a Thick Basic White card base, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″.
Next, I stamped the sentiment in Real Red Ink, used a Potted Succulents Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals. “Merry Christmas” is from the Cottage Wreaths Stamp Set, and I love the small size and font.
After positioning the poinsettias, I attached them with Dimensionals, making sure they covered the sentiment label just a bit.
I’m entering TGIF’s challenge this week, “cut it out!”
