Christmas Card Featuring Pretty Poinsettia Impression Dies

Pretty-Poinsettia-Christmas-Shimmering-Stripes-Swirls-of-Magic-Stampin-Up

Hello and welcome to my blog! Today I'm sharing a gorgeous Christmas card made with the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle and the pretty Shimmering Stripes Specialty Paper. I combined Hydrangea Hue cardstock and Basic White for, what I think, is a winning combination. At the end of this post is a link for you to download a free tutorial with all the instructions and measurements and, also, a video showing the construction of this card. Links to all the supplies I used are also at the bottom. Let's look at a few details of this card. Here is the card folded up ready to go into an envelope.

The poinsettia is truly beautiful, but the Shimmering Stripes paper really sets if off. Even if you don't have the Impressions Plate, it will still be a beautiful poinsettia.

Look at the beautiful background the Swirls of Magic Embossing Folder makes!

The inside was stamped with a sentiment from the Pretty Poinsettia stamp set in Hydrangea Hue ink. I also used the Hydrangea Hue Glimmer Pen to add some sparkle. The die is from Beautifully Celebrated dies.

This side view shows the easel. I folded a 5 1/2" x 10" piece of Hydrangea Hue cardstock in half and cut with the largest scalloped circle die from Scalloped Blooms dies. Next, I scored the front circle at 2 3/8" to form the easel.

Here you can see the butterflies from the All a Flutter Bundle. They were heat embossed with gold embossing powder then punched with the coordinating punch. This center section spins on nail spinners. You can see this in my video. The link is below.
