Today’s two poinsettia projects are from our designer, Diana, who has really dazzled us with her paper craft creations lately. Using our Large Stacked Poinsettia Die, she has done a wonderful job bringing us two very different vibes for our Christmas cards. Which one is your favorite?
Card #1
This elegant poinsettia card is crisp and classic, set against a lovely quilted red background, it screams “traditional” in the most lovely way! This card embodies the holiday season and we just love how clean and simple it is. If Red and White Christmas Cards are your jam, check out this post for some crimson inspiration.

Card #2
This stunning Poinsettia Card takes our typical color pallet, and spices it up with some warm tones that have us dreaming of gingerbread and hot chocolate! We really do adore these creamy whites against this brown background and love how Diana took a chance with the colors and it really paid off. We also love the Snowflakes that are die cut in the same color and placed on the background, giving a faux embossed effect!
