Print Recipe

Basic White Cardstock:

Card base: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4" on the 8 1/2" side

Scrap for sentiment

Scrap for die-cut poinsettia flowers

Cut Early Espresso Cardstock to 3 3/4" x 5"

1 strip 1/4" x 5"

Note: you can make the strip any width you'd like.

Cut Designer Series Paper:

(1) 2" x 4 7/8"
(1) 1 1/2" x 4 7/8"

Stamp three (3) poinsettia flowers in Cherry Cobbler ink and die cut with a coordinating die.

Add dimensional to two of the flowers. The other you'll adhere with liquid glue or Stampin' Seal or Seal+

Stamp the sentiment in Versamark and heat emboss with black embossing powder.

Use the Label Me Lovely punch to punch out the sentiment

Technique: Double (or triple) heat embossing.

Assemble the card:

Add the DSP to the Early Espresso card panel measuring 3 3/4" x 5". (I flipped my DSP to showcase both sides of the paper).

Add the strip of Early Espresso over the seam.

Add one of the Poinsettia flowers to the panel with adhesive.

Position the sentiment, then add to the panel with adhesive.

Now add the two remaining poinsettia flowers around the sentiment.

Add the Rhinestone jewels to the center of each flower for an added pop.

Finish the card by adding this panel to the card base with adhesive. You can also use the adhesive foam sheets to add some dimension.
