Poinsettia Petals card

 I absolutely LOVE the new Holiday Mini Catalog this year!!  Oh. Wait...  The 'real' name is 2020 August-December Mini Catalog.  But it will always be 'The Holiday Mini' to me.  And I know a lot of people feel that way too.  

Anyway....  The Poinsettia Petals Suite was one of my first purchases when the Holiday Mini became available for Demonstrators to order from.  I will no doubt make a lot of cards using this suite of products.

 

 I used Real Red cardstock cut at 4 1/2" X 11" and scored and folded at 5 1/2".  I stamped the poinsettias from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set (3 different sizes of poinsettias) on Real Red cardstock using Versamark ink pad.  I then used Gold embossing powder and heat set them with my heat tool.  I did the same with the poinsettia leaves only stamped them on Garden Green cardstock.  I then die cut the poinsettia petals and green leaves using the Poinsettia dies, also part of this suite.  For the sentiment, I stamped the Merry Christmas from the Poinsettia Petals stamp set using Versamark ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock and them used the gold embossing powder & heat set it as well.  I cut a strip of Real Red cardstock 5 1/4" X 1/4" for the skinny strip behind the sentiment.  The vellum piece is also from the Poinsettia Place suite of products.  It is from the Plush Poinsettia Specialty Paper.  There are 3 different papers in this pack and they have flocked designs and are ohhh soooo pretty!!  The vellum layer is cut at 4" X 5 1/4". When using vellum, you can't tape the vellum unless you 'hide' the tape, or else the tape will show on the front of the vellum.  So, to hide the tape, I used Stampin' Seal tape behind the flower and behind the red strip across the bottom to adhere the vellum to the red cardstock.  I then used Stampin' Dimensionals to pop up the flower petal layers.  I also used Mango Melody Stampin' Blend marker to color the Beaded Pearls center for the poinsettia.

I always decorate the inside of the card as well.  The inside sentiment is from the same Poinsettia Petals stamp set.  I stamped the verse in Versamark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder & heat tool.  Here is the inside:

The inside poinsettia was stamped with Real Red stampin' pad and the center was stamped using Crushed Curry stampin' pad. The inside poinsettia is the same stamp that I used for the top layer (smallest) of the poinsettia on the front of the card.
