Deb's Card-in-a-Box

I love a poinsettia motif at Christmas time, so the Pretty Poinsettia Bundle was a no-brainer for me. And since I hadn't had a chance to play with it before Stamp Camp, I was very excited when I opened Deb's Card-in-a-Box to find a Poinsettia card inside. The Card-in-a-Box Table is a staple at my Craft Retreat. I have 10 volunteers each make a 'Shoebox Swap', where all the ingredients for making a card are included in each box, including pre-cut cardstock. It's great to be able to sit down and make 10 cards without having to think/plan/design.  

These paper poinsettias are just stunning in real life. The Dies are 'Impressions' dies, so you can use the Impressions Plate to give them a 3D effect that you can really see and feel. You can layer as many petals as you like to create poinsettias in all different shapes and sizes. I lightly sponged mine using a Blending Brush to give them even more dimension. The arch shape has been cut from the Shimmering Stripes specialty paper. It's so pretty and shimmery in real life, but quite difficult to capture in a photo!

I couldn't resist making a couple more poinsettia cards, so I'll be back to share those soon.
