This is Part 4 of a 4 Part Series featuring the Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set and the coordinating Poinsettia Dies.

These cards all feature the large Poinsettia from the featured Stamp Set cut out with the coordinating dies.  The flower can be made with 3 or 4 layers, which are aranged as shown.  I creased and bent each petal and the leaves (if used) to add some dimension to the flower. By using various color flowers with coordinating colored DSP the possibilities are endless, with each card being unique.

By each card I have added notes about the color cardstock used, the flower centers, and sentiment stamps.  The flowers and pieces are assembled similarly.  

-The DSP for the top mat of this first card was a leftover mat from one of the Christmas Paper Pumpkin Kits.  It was mounted on a bottom mat cut from Cherry Cobbler CS.

-This Poinsettia is 3 die cut layers of Red Glimmer Paper. The flower center is a Beaded Pearl piece that coordinated with this suite of products that I colored with the Bronze Stampin' Blend. The flowere was popped up with Dimensionals.

-The "sprigs" were cut from Cherry Cobbler CS.

-I added a strip of Gold Foil Paper toward the bottomof the card front  and attached a piece of Merry Christmas Classic Weave Ribbon to it, wrapping it around the card mats.



-The DSP for the top mat of this first card was cut from Toile Tiding DSP.  It was mounted on a bottom mat cut from Real Red CS.

-This Poinsettia is 3 die cut layers of Real Red CS.  I added Wink of Stella to the petals. The flower center is a Gold Faceted Gem. 

-The leaves were cut from Garden Green CS and then I added Wink of Stella to them.

-The "sprigs" were cut from Cherry Cobbler CS.

-I added a strip of Real Red CS  and the Ribbon as on the card above.

-The DSP for the top mat of this card was cut from a piece of Frosted Floral DSP.  I added an additional "tag" piece to the top mat cut from Cherry Cobbler CS, and then mounted the piece on a bottom mat cut from Cherry Cobbler CS.

-This Poinsettia is made from 3 die cut layers of  Whisper White CS  that were stamped first with Delicata Silvery Shimmer Ink using  a stamp from the featured set.  The flower center is a Beaded Pearl piece that coordinated with this suite of products.
