Finding Inspiration Friday with Poinsettia Place


Hi Everyone,
I'm so glad you are here today because I have a great inspiration day. I have 2 wonderful cards to share with you using the Poinsettia Petals Bundle. These 2 cards were created using pieces die cut from the other. Let me explain.


My sister-n-law and I were working on some swap cards and she had an idea about layering a Whisper White piece of cardstock, so the stamped poinsettia on the read would peek through. So, using the Stamparatus, we stamped the poinsettia onto the Real Read Cardstock in Garden Green ink. Then realigning for the white cardstock, we stamped the poinsettia with garden green onto the white cardstock and die cut the poinsettia out. The white cardstock piece was then laid over and lined up for the stamped poinsettia on the Real Red Cardstock.


That die cut Garden Green poinsettia became the idea for the second card. Using Real Red and Garden Green, we designed this card with a nice background of stamped poinsettias and DSP from the Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper. 


This card has a country Christmas feel to it, and the Champagne Rhinestones are the perfect center for this card.


Stampin' Up! has so many wonderful dies and there are so many opportunities to get creative and get 2 projects for the price of 1. My sister-n-law and I had so much fun stamping together too. There were so many great ideas bouncing back and forth.
