The base of the card is a folded half-sheet of Cherry Cobbler card stock. It opens on the right and the fold is on the left. I cut two pieces of Basic White card stock that measured 4" x 5-1/4". I taped one to the inside and the other was taped to the front.
I cut another piece of Basic white that measured 3-3/4" x 5" for the next layer. On top of that is a piece of Designer Series Paper (DSP) from the "A Stitched Season" at 3-1/2" x 3". I cut the left from the 3" mark to the right side at the 2" mark. I taped that to the Basic White piece.
Next I cut a 1/2" x 4-1/2" strip of Cherry Cobbler. I taped it to the front along the same angle as the DSP. I trimmed the ends with a scissors to follow the edges of the sides.
I used a circle die from the "Spot on Nature" on Cherry Cobbler card stock.
The poinsettia petals were die cut from the "Pretty Poinsettia" bundle using Basic White card stock and put them together. I found that a bit difficult. I kept moving the petals around because I couldn't stop it from looking square. I did manage to get it more rounded. I put Dimensionals to the back and affixed it to the circle.
Using three dots from the "Bats & Ghost" embellishments. I didn't have what was used on the original card but I thought these would work well, and they did the job!
I stamped the words from the same "Pretty Poinsettia" bundle using Basic Black ink. I had recently inked up some of my stamp sets and they are a bit juicy so I ended up with too much ink on the stamp and it showed up on the top worth the most.
I taped the layers together and the card was finished.
I do like how the card turned out and I was thrilled that I got the poinsettia more rounded! I actually made another one so I could keep it as a sample.
Thank you SO much for taking your time to stop in and see today's Christmas card,
Wanda
