It is a delight to share with you my Stampin’ Up! Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper Blue Poinsettia Christmas card.

Stampin’ Up! Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper:

Have you seen blue poinsettias?  Here’s a picture of a group of them.  Aren’t they pretty? They are beautiful to me, but maybe that is because I love the color blue.  I guess there are a lot of colors of poinsettias.

Back to my card!  The card measures 4-3/4″ x 5-1/2″ which is an odd size.  I made it this size so I could get on the card the elements I wanted.  Besides the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper, the card also features Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia dies and Spellbinders Curved Borders Two dies.  For the left side of the card, I used the mistletoe design from the Stampin’ Up! Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper, Spellbinders Curved Borders Two Dies, and Stampin’ Up! Pacific Point Card Stock.

This picture is a closeup of the poinsettia that I created with the Spellbinders Layered Poinsettia dies.  I embossed the poinsettia with Stampin’ Up!’s Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder (101930).  I added a small amount of yellow and green glitter glue (i.e., Ranger Stickels) onto the center of the flower.  To further enhance the poinsettia, I added some “branches” behind the flower.  I used Martha Stewart’s Branch Medium Punch to create the branches.  The poinsettia sits upon an oval floral die cut from the Spellbinders Oval Floral dies.

I used the Spellbinders Curved Borders Two dies also for the inside of the card. Instead of using the Pacific Point Card Stock, as I did on the card front, I used the mistletoe design from the Home for Christmas Designer Series Paper when using the Curved Borders dies.
