Materials

Stamp Set
  • ·       Stylish Christmas

 Paper
  • ·       Old Olive card stock (6-1/4” x 9”)
  • ·       Real Red card stock (6-1/4” x 2-1/4”)
  • ·       Whisper White card stock (6-1/4” x 2”; 6” x 3-1/8” (inside); 2-3/4” x 2-1/2” (poinsettia)

 Ink
  • ·       Old Olive Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • ·       Real Red Classic Stampin’ Pad
  • ·       Tuxedo Black Memento Pad

 Accessories and Tools
  • ·       Metallic Pearls (Gold)
  • ·       Adhesives: SNAIL Adhesive; Stampin’ Dimensionals; Tear ‘n Tape

Instructions

Score 6-1/4” x 9” Old Olive card stock horizontally at 3-3/8” and 6-3/4”; fold away from score lines.  Adhere 6” x 3-1/8” Whisper White card stock to center section on inside.  On smallest section (the bottom flap), measure 1” from bottom edge on left side, and 2” from right side along bottom edge.  Mark with pencil and cut diagonally between the two pencil marks.  Place Tear ‘n Tape on inside of bottom flap next to fold line and fold up (see photo above).  This will hold the bottom flap in place tight enough to hold the money or check or gift card in place.  NOTE:  DO NOT add Tear ‘n Tape on side edges – dollar bill or check will not fit in card if you do.

Adhere Real Red card stock to front of card; stamp poinsettia, leaves and sentiment on 6-1/4” x 2” Whisper White card stock and adhere over Real Red card stock.  Stamp second poinsettia on scrap of Whisper White card stock and fussy cut.  Adhere over first poinsettia with Stampin’ Dimensionals, rotating a bit so all leaves show.  Embellish with Gold Metallic Pearls.

Don’t forget the envelope . . . this fun card deserves another bright poinsettia on the flap!  NOTE:  You can buy 6-1/2” x 3-5/8” envelopes from your local office supply store to fit this card.


Hope you enjoy this project.  This beautiful poinsettia will make your gift card or cash or check that much more special to the recipient!
