Morning all!
I'm back today sharing another project using supplies from Waffle Flower's Christmas in July release.
This time, the focus is on the ever-so-versatile Poinsettia Cluster die.
Along with the layered poinsettia flower, the die set includes two foliage dies, a berry branch, and pinecone.
My card is a riff on a favourite Christmas make from last year featuring That Bow - aka The Greetery's Big Beautiful Bow (which is still proving popular as it's just gone out of stock again!). And indeed I've used that die set here for the ribbon and tag elements, but this time I switched out the bow and used the poinsettia as the decorative element for this "gift card".
With a simple cover plate as the backdrop to your card, you can really make the poinsettia the star of the show.
The cover plate I've used was from a recent Bargain Basements offer, so it's definitely worth keeping an eye on that sale section!
I used various shades of cardstock from Concord & 9th for the Poinsettia Cluster and Big Beautiful Bow elements:
-
Ballet Slipper
-
Stardust
-
Evergreen
-
Cocoa (from the new neutrals pack)
-
Pebble
For the centre of the Poinsettia, I ink blended one of the layers a little darker to stand out, then when I added Glossy Accents I alternated between the dots of the flower centre so that the first dots could dry before filling in the areas in between - that way the Glossy Accents won't all blend into one messy blob (I'm sure we've all been there!).
The little tag is stamped with a sentiment from the Mini Merry Messages set from Mama Elephant - perfect for adding sentiments to tags!
Once all my elements were assembled on my card, I decided it needed some festive splatter, so out came the pearlescent white, copper, and matt white paint. I covered the little tag with Post-It tape so that it wouldn't be overly splattered.
And there we have it, another Christmas card made for the pile!
Until next time, happy crafting!
