Your Creative Connection #YCC117: Poinsettia Dies
October 14, 2020
Welcome to another Your Creative Connection tour, #YCC117. Our theme today is: Dies to Die For
As I've been playing with the Poinsettia Place Suite lately, it was a natural choice to select the Poinsettia Dies for my project today.
How'd She DO That? Poinsettia Dies card
- Stamps/Bundles: Poinsettia Petals Bundle (includes the Poinsettia Dies)
- Paper:
- Soft Suede (8 ½” x 5 ½” card base, scrap for 2 sprig die cuts)
- Very Vanilla (5-1/2" x 5-1/2" for poinsettia die cuts, plus scrap for 2 berry sprig die cuts)
- Crumb Cake (3 -3/4" x 5”)
- Poinsettia Place Designer Series Paper (1” x 5 ½”)
- Ink: Early Espresso Real Red
- Other: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Beaded Pearls, Real Red 3/8” Sheer Ribbon, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals
It's hard to see in the photo, but the petals have embossed lines on them.
At first glance at the dies, I was concerned about the process for cutting and embossing. Do I have to cut first, then emboss afterwards? The answer is no! They cut and emboss at the same time. See tips below.
DOstamping Tips for Poinsetta Dies:
- Place all 7 dies on a 5-1/2" square of cardstock. Nest the matching "emboss" dies inside the large shape dies.
- I was excited to cut/embossed all four petal sizes at the same time. Phfew - what a time saver!
- Adhere flowers together with Stampin' Seal &/or Mini Glue Dots.
- Adhere Beaded Pearls to the center with Mini Glue Dots.
The Poinsettia Place Suite was an instant favorite for me! If you like poinsettias like I do, then you'll be thrilled with the suite too.
