The Stampin' Up! team I am in meets regularly once a month to share ideas and learn new techniques and we also do a card swap within our team. This month is Christmas in July, we are making Christmas cards for our swap. As I didn't really have any Christmas Stamp sets (can't wait for the next holiday catty to come out 😁) I thought maybe I could make a Poinsettia out of the Pop of Petals stamp set and punch! This is what I came up with. I think it turned out pretty good! What do you think?
What I did to achieve this is I stamped in the same colour as the cardstock and punched out 4 flowers in the Lovely Lipstick cardstock and ink and stamped and cut out 2 in the Call me Clover cardstock and ink. The top flower I left whole but the rest I cut into 4 separate petals then glued them individually to the back of the whole flower. I did the same for the leaves. I put some wink of stella on the petals and I am thinking of maybe putting a clear faceted gem in the centre as well.
The embossed strip across the card is the Seaside Textured Impressions embossing folder. I just love the mini sequin trim!
