Cottage Lane Stamper

 I couldn't wait to create this card!    I've had the Red Velvet paper and the Plush Poinsettia vellum since this summer and as soon as I saw the dies from the Poinsettia Place Suite and the Red Velvet cardstock I knew I wanted to make poinsettias with it.  Love the rich feel of the flowers and plush vellum! As difficult as it looks it is a pretty simple card to make.  It's all die cutting and putting together with glue dots and Stampin' Seal! Your friends will think you spent a mint on this card! The Poinsettia die set has five different poinsettia dies in it!  I love that there are two sets of dies that are different sizes that cut and emboss, so they can be layered, as in this card.  There are also outline dies to die cut the other sheets of the Plush Vellum with the poinsettias and holly leaves.  The holly leaves also emboss!  And, and.... you can die cut the DSP poinsettias. We'll get into that more later on another video. ...

I wanted to make a fun card for my World Vision child from Guatemala, Darlin.  Since I have only grandsons I don't have a lot of little girl stamps.  This retired Little Ladybug stamp set from the 2020 Sale-a-bration is so cute I thought it would be perfect for her and also for a friend of mine, who loves lady bugs and is going through a difficult time right now. So I made two. I also saw a Peekaboo card on Pinterest the other day and thought the two would work so well together! This is the card for my friend.
