Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poinsettia Card Sample Remake

The mostly monochromatic Stampin’ Up! Peaceful Poinsettia card sample on page 23 of the 2018 Stampin’ Up! Holiday Catalog (pictured below) drew me in. So much so, I just had to get the Peaceful Poinsettia Bundle and make a similar card. My remake has a good bit more color. 

One of my sweet downline was trying to picture how the border die worked with the poinsettia die. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I have pictures to show you how to make my handmade poinsettia Christmas card. It all starts with the die-cutting. Place the border die flush with two edges with the poinsettia die tucked in.

The poinsettia Framelits Die was used to die-cut Real Red Cardstock and adhered to the back with a Fine Tip Glue Pen. You can see how to get the Crushed Curry center in my pretty poinsettia card tutorial here.

Fill in the greenery with a piece of Shaded Spruce cardstock covering the back.

Die-cut Real Red Cardstock on the border die for red berries. A drop of Fine Tip Glue Pen on each berry and you’re ready to do a bit of paper-piecing with the new Take Your Pick Tool.

Here’s the card sample that was the inspiration.

And a recap of the steps to make my handmade Christmas card with poinsettias.

Monochromatic or a more colorful remake, both are beautiful options for your homemade Christmas cards.
