Vellum Poinsettias

Posted on August 9, 2025 9:58 PM by Julie 1 Comment

This Christmas card has a bit more going on but still is not hard to make. When you break down the steps, you’ll see it’s really easy to do. The poinsettias are white embossed on vellum for a soft look. Only one is colored to set it apart, but still maintains the soft look.

A big congrats to Mspork, the newest Featured Stamper FS966, She has a lovely little gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the 3 white embossed vellum flowers but used different images, dies, colors & added an oval inset layer.

To make my card, I white embossed 3 poinsettias onto heavy vellum. Only one was colored on the backside w/ Copics. I cut a large rectangle 4″ x 5.25″ (just smaller than the A2 card front), then die cut a large oval out of the center. This red card has a nice shimmer. I took the oval cut out & die cut it with the cheesecloth cover die & placed it back inside the oval. The greeting was stamped, but I omitted the last word (Joy) from it by covering it w/ tape, then die cut it, removing the last little bit. The big JOY was die cut along w/ its backing & popped up. I also popped up the colored poinsettia w/ red foam, but made sure to keep it only under the red part of the flower.

Here are the Copics I used on the backside of the center poinsettia:

Noel Poinsettia

Today I have an easy Christmas card in slightly lighter colors than the traditonal red and green. The poinsettia, half layer, and greeting die were cut from the same color blended background so they would all match. You could also try a blended background under a white half ornament layer. It looks great either way!

For the Inspiration Challenge IC1027, we are visiting Macy’s & their Pinterest Board. I was inspired by THIS picture. I really liked those shades of pink & green together.

To make my Christmas card, I took a white piece of cardstock, the pink & green inks & some blending brushes. I started with pinks at the top and greens on the bottom. The lightest of each was blended to almost halfway, then darker shades were added closer to the top & bottom edges. I left just a tad of white in the center because these colors are opposites and do not play together very well. A little overlap of the palest shades would not be too bad, but otherwise the result will not be very pretty. Then the half layer was die cut as well as the poinsettia petals & leaves. I added a few dark green leaves & a few dk rose petals for better contrast. The center dots of the poinsettia were cut out of metallic gold. The poinsettia, greeting & half layer were all popped up one more layer.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Poinsettias & Snowflakes

The new big, layered Poinsettia and Snowflake Edger dies make this card a breeze to put together. Elegant and not hard to make. There are 2 more larger layers to this Poinsettia set so you could opt to have one big bloom instead. Also easy to change up the colors and paper you use.

A big congrats to mazzybear, the newest Featured Stamper (FS914). She has a truly wonderful gallery & I chose THIS card to case. I kept the layout & poinsettias, but used different dies, paper & colors. Instead of a greeting across the bottom, I used a snowflake edger.

After die cutting the 3 poinsettia layers out of white, I die cut the largest of the three 3 times out of a vanilla color. I stacked the 3 sizes, offsetting the petals & also added some small circles of cardboard between the layers to give them a little dimension, Originally I had planned to use the Reindeer print paper on top, but it looked too busy to me, so I cut 2 of the snowflake strips from the paper & flipped it over to use the red side. The snowflake strips were attached at the top & bottom. The snowflake edger was used on a white piece, then trimmed down to end just where the poinsettias would be attached.
