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. ...

The Poinsettia Place Suite is going to be one of my go to's for years to come.   Pairing the poinsettia dies with the velvet paper creates a stunning flower, especially when accented with the Beaded Pearl embellishments! In my video I share with you a couple tips for using the poinsettia dies and stamps.  Here are some photos of all the elements that I demonstrate in the video:     Mark your poinsettia dies, that have the embossing centers,  as you take them off the cardboard so you know which petal goes with which and also mark them to match the stamps. I also use the Shimmery Crystal Effects on the berries to give them some dimension and a little shimmer. I hope you find this video helpful and enjoy this suite as much as I do! Make sure to order the velvet paper for stunning...
