Having Fun with the Christmas Poinsettia Border Die *VIDEO*

Hello and welcome back! I have been having so much fun playing with this new Christmas Poinsettia border die from Paper Rose Studio, and thought I would share some ideas with you. It really is a beautiful die and I don't think it is just for Christmas projects, but could be used year round.  I posted a Christmas card last month using it, but here are a couple more ideas for you.

Christmas Poinsettias Card

 Hello again! I've got a Christmas card today created from some new products from Paper Rose Studio. 

Supplies Used: Poinsettia Bouquet Clear Stamp Set 30306, Christmas Poinsettia Border Metal Cutting Die 30159, Merry Christmas Chunky Metal Die Set 19511, silver mirror cardstock.

I started this card by stamping the poinsettia image onto Neenah Solar Crest 80# cardstock with Gina K amalgam black ink.  I coloured it in with Copic markers (R39, R29, R35, YG01 for the main poinsettias, R46 for the berries, and BG72, BG70 for the leaves).  I then applied some Glossy Accents to the berries and set it aside to dry before fussy cutting it out.

Next, on a white A2 (4.25" x 5.5") sized card front, I die cut the Christmas Poinsettia Border die twice, trying to get it evenly spaced across the card as well as up and down.  I glued this onto an A2 sized piece of silver mirror cardstock, and then adhered this to my card base.  This is a really beautiful border die!

On a scrap of white cardstock, I applied a red ink ( I think it was Rouge by Catherine Pooler), and then die cut the Merry Christmas from this.  I also cut two more from white cardstock and stacked these together with glue.  I die cut the shadow layer from the same white cardstock and then glued the sentiment to the shadow layer.  I applied Glossy Accents to the sentiment and let it dry.

Finally, to assemble the card I glued the poinsettia image just above the center and the sentiment just below this.  The silver mirror cardstock really gives this card a lot of shine and the die cut borders look so delicate! 

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you're having a great day!
