- Choose your paper
- Select a sheet of patterned paper for the card front. I used the green, red, and cream zig-zagged striped design from The Papercut Festive Stripes Paper Pack by The Papercut. Trim it to 4 1/4 x 5 1/2
- Pick coordinating cardstock to frame the center oval. I chose antique gold cardstock.
- Die‑cut your elements
- Using the 5812D Swanky Ovals Dies, die cut the center of the patterned paper using the 2.25 x 4.25 die. Set aside.
- Using the 2.5 x 4.5 die, die cut an oval from the antique gold card stock. Set aside.
- Using the 5514-07D Buildable Poinsettia Die, die cut flowers from both flat red cardstock and glitter red cardstock.
- Assemble the flowers
- Layer the die‑cut flower pieces to build your poinsettias. Add a rhinestone embellishment in the center for extra detail.
- Using the red glitter cardstock, die‑cut the scalloped edge using the 5807-01D Classic Edge Cute Dies.
- Prepare your sentiment
- Select a greeting stamp. I used “May Your Christmas Be Filled With Love” from the 3424 Christmas Cheer Set.
- Stamp and emboss
- Place the patterned oval in your stamp repositioner. I added a bit of tape to the back of the oval to keep it in place. You can use a sticky mat in your repositioner if you have one.
- Position the sentiment stamp in the center of the oval and close the lid to secure it.
- Treat the paper with antistatic powder.
- Ink the stamp with clear ink (such as VersaMark).
- Remove the panel, sprinkle antique gold embossing powder, and heat set with a heat tool.
- Final assembly
- Once the embossing has cooled, layer all your elements together.
- Position the flowers around the center oval and secure down with liquid adhesive.
- Adhere your completed panel to a 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 card base.
