Classic & Elegant Poinsettia Holiday Card

I love red poinsettias, but can never make them live past Christmas. When I saw the humongous poinsettia bushes in Kona, Hawaii, I was convinced that they like warmer weather. I'm sharing today the beautiful poinsettia and sentiment stamps from Blank Page Muse Art Rubber Stamps called Classic Christmas Stamp Set by Pam Bray Designs. 

I'll be showing you how to make your own beautiful patterned paper with some scraps and washi tape then showcasing your card with the beautiful colored poinsettia stamp. I hope this inspires you to try make your own card and entering it in our monthly challenge, "Holiday Play."

All the supplies and instructions are listed below to make this A2 size card.

Supplies:

• Blank Page Muse Stamp:  Classic Christmas Stamp Set
• White cardstock - Cut to the following sizes:
• 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" to stamp the poinsettias  twice
• A2 size for the base (8-1/2" x 5-1/2"), fold in half
• 4" x 5-1/4" for the mat (card front)
• 4" x 4" for the frame (Cut 2) 
• 3" x 2" for the sentiment
• Black cardstock strips - Cut to ½” x 7” (Cut 3)
• Black cardstock strips - Cut to 1/2" x 5” (Cut 4)
• 3mm wide gold washi tape 
• Nested square dies - 3" x 3" and next smaller size (approx. 2-1/2" x 2-1/2")
• Black stamp pad
• Stamp positioner or stamping block
• Scissors
• Paper trimmer
• Your favorite adhesive
• Your favorite coloring medium (I used Copic markers. Colors listed below)
• Clear glitter pen (I used Spectrum Noir Sparkle pen)
• White gel pen

Copic markers used:

Red: R39, R46, R43, R30

Green: G28, G05, YG03

Instructions:

• Stamp two of the poinsettias, color, and fussy cut. Set aside.
• To make the background paper, using the 4" x 5-1/4" mat, lay out the black cardstock strips 1/4 inch apart. Start in the middle and work your way to the outside corners. Adhere to the card front.

• Turn your cardstock to the back and use scissors to trim off the excess black strips.

• Adhere the gold washi tape in between each black stripe making sure that you have an overhang of 1/4" to fold to the back. 

• Using the 4" square white cardstock, cut out a 3" square with the die.
• Using the other 4" square white cardstock, nest the 3" and 2-1/2" dies to cut out a frame.

•  Add gold washi tape around the frame. Adhere the frame to the 3" mat then adhere onto the card front.

• Adhere the poinsettias.
• Adhere the card front onto the base cardstock.
• Stamp the sentiment on white cardstock and trim to size. Use black cardstock to mat the sentiment and adhere to the card front.

• Using a glitter pen, add some glitter to the centers and tips of the poinsettias.
• Using a white gel pen, add some accent dots to the poinsettias.

I hope you give this card a try. It's a great way to use up your scrap cardstock and it's easy and fun! Thank you for stopping by! ~Betty~

Poinsettia Card

Hello Friends,

Today I am using the Classic Christmas Art Rubber Stamp Set by Pam Bray Designs from Sin City Stamps. I love how the large poinsettia stamp can be used as a background or a focal point. I have incorporated both options in my card for today.

Supplies:

  Sin City Stamps - Classic Christmas 

Other Supplies:

  Gold embossing powder

  Glitter pen

  Red enamel dots

  Red, black, green and craft card stock

  Frame die

  Copic Markers

Step 1:  Stamped poinsettia multiply times on black card stock and embossed in gold.

Step 2:  Filled in open areas with small star stamp from other Sin City Stamp set.  These too are gold embossed.

Step 3:  On white card stock gold embossed another poinsettia. Cut out the flower only and colored it in using Copic markers.  Added glitter pen to center of flower to increase the sparkle.

Step 4:  Cut out the frame in red card stock and attached to background using froam tape.

Step 5:  Next I layered this layer onto red and craft card stock.  I then added the colored poinsettia using foam tape and the leaves from the cut out flower which was also colored with Copic markers.

Step 6: Finally. I stamped the sentiment on a matching green pennant and affixed to card.  A few red dots completed the card.
