Glittered Poinsettia

Several years ago, I got both the Poinsettia die and matching embossing folder.  I used it once.  I brought it out again this year to make these cards:

I used the following for the cards:

• Tim Holtz - Tattered Poinsettia Die and Embossing Folder
• Sookwang Double Sided tape
• Glitter Ritz Microfine Glitter - Emerald Green, Champagne
• Elizabeth Craft Designs - Bright Cranberry Microfine Glitter
• Elizabeth Craft Designs - Stand-up Helpers dies
• Star Form Peel-off stickers - Gold/Silver Lines (#7010), Circles (#7018) 
• Mark Richards Peel-off stickers - Seasons Greetings sentiments

To make the Poinsettia, I added the Sookwang tape to white card stock, and then using the die cut out the layers of the Poinsettia.  The layers were then embossed, using the matching embossing folder.  I removed the protective sheet from the tape, added the glitter and burnished it.  The center of the Poinsettia needed a bit more definition, so some peel-off gold circles were added.  The Poinsettia was assembled using pop-dots between the layers.

To make the card base, I used a top fold A2 sized card (4.25 x 5.5).  I added an additional score line at 2.75" (top side of the card).  On the other side (bottom side of the card) at 2.75 inches from the fold, the stand up feature was added in the center of the card.

The Poinsettia was added a piece of patterned paper which was then matted with card stock in the same color as the card base.  Peel-off stickers were added to the panel which was then added to the bottom portion of the top side of the card.

Below the stand up helper, a piece of the patterned paper (1.75") was added.  Peel-off stickers were added to the top and bottom, and the sentiment added in the middle.  The excess portion of the bottom side of the card was removed.
