Hi bloggers! If you are a traditionalists, look away now! LOL You may not want to see poinsettias done out of krinkly kraft paper. If you are like me, this will be right up your alley! I just love the way that flowers look out of this paper! To begin, I emboss the coconut white background with the large polka dot mask. I matted it with some kraft card and some black card. I cut several of the poinsettias from the Layered poinsettia die set and lightly inked them with black soot distress ink to highlight the krinkly kraft paper pattern. I layered them up in an offset manner and glued a black pearl in the centre. I used some of the black rhinestone swirls to give it a little flair from the corner too. I stamped my sentiment on a strip of white card. I cut one end into forks and matted it with kraft card. I used black PVA glue to dot the length of my sentiment strip as an accent. I glued one end under my flowers then placed a glue dot under the other end to give it a bit of height. I pierced the inner layer of the double white mat to complete the card. Would you have this one on your Christmas card list? All for now, Sue x

No looking away for me Sue, I love the poinsettias made out of krinkly paper although I would never have thought of doing them like this. The card is gorgeous.
ReplyDeletewow wow wow just love this card Sue x
ReplyDeleteWow, Not something I would have thought of and it is stunning. I have all the components so will certainly give this a try.
ReplyDeleteI love the crinkly poinsettias as I always find the true colour a bit Garish!
ReplyDeleteThis card is STUNNING Sue, it would have to be top of my list I think.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card, the flowers are so beautiful

GM Sue - how avant garde- they look like they are made of wood or bark - really unusual.

Yes, Sue, really like this one -
ReplyDeletea new take on poinsettias.
For those who don't like it (surely not!) could always substitute red crepe.

Most certainly Sue, beautiful. All the best, hope you are well Edwina
ReplyDeleteHi Sue love the poinsettias and of course the card is divine, just adore it.
ReplyDeleteWilma x x
I love the embossed background and especially those crinkly poinsettias - they are so beautiful! Not sure about the sentiment, maybe a bit too massive approach to this card.
ReplyDeleteHugs from Finland, Eemeli
Great new look of the poinsettias and I really like this one too, so I sure don´t look aways either.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week-end and thanks again for all your inspiration always.

Morning Sue, I like this card. The flowers are great it makes me wonder why i haven't got any of this kraft paper! I'm obviously lacking in the crafting stakes not having any of it! This will be remedied forthwith!! LOL Hus Sonia x
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, poinsettias from this die could be made from anything and I'd still love them! It is my favourite die of all and I have used it with many colours and papers. I love the crinkly kraft paper...stunning! Carole ZX
ReplyDeleteOH Sue what a great looking card i would really like it on my christmas list.. the crinkly kraft paper is great a must for me to get .. all for now sarah.. xxx
ReplyDeleteA beautiful card, Sue. You and me; same alley! I adore Kraft in all its many forms and these poinsettias are great! Love, Vee xx
ReplyDeleteps you don't need to warn anyone about looking away, Sue your art is by you and should challenge us all whether we are stick-in-the-muds or not! xx
The crinkly craft paper looks good in close up.
ReplyDeletehi sue, what a fab card, I just love the fact you have cut the poinsetta in a non traditional colour. I have been cutting mine out of crepe paper, and they do look very delicate, but in traditional colours. may just have to get some kraft kard and have a go.
ReplyDeletekeep trying the non traditional!

Morning Sue, This card is absolutely gorgeous, I love the krinkly paper for flowers and the poinsettia is my favourite die, I also love the large polka dot mask, I have the small one, but not the large one. I love how you have done the sentiment with the height. Truly gorgeous.

Simply Stunning !
ReplyDelete
ReplyDeleteHi Sue
Gorgeous card I really like the unusual poinsettia's they remind me of marquetry (not sure if I spelt that right) my Dear Dad used to make pictures with slivers of all sorts of woodgrains. Think I will have to try these flowers for him as it was his anniversary last week Bless him.
Enjoy your weekend
Hugs Annx without an "e"
Not my choice Sue - I can't quite see a poinsettia in this colour sitting on my coffee table!! The design itself is lovely though and it's easy enough to change flower colours. Pat x
ReplyDeleteI am a traditionalist at heart so would prefer the usual colours but this card might just be the one to kick me into modernity. It really looks great.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue, this is a lovely card. The design is great.....BUT I do prefer RED poinsettias (sorry can't help it) this is a nice card though. Love Sam xxx
ReplyDeleteMorning Sue, ive made poinsettias in every colour this year but didn't think of usingmy krinkly paper, it woulds well and i love the card and layout. Emma

ReplyDeleteGreat card - most suitable for 'Thank you' cards for Christmas gifts received. I make these for my 2 sons to send out, so the crinkly craft paper / colour scheme is just right!
Hugs, Belinda x
Morning Sue
ReplyDeleteWOW you have given us some lovely cards this week and this one is another stunner, love the crinkly poinsettias - this is definitely one I shall try.

Hi Sue
ReplyDeleteNo, sorry, this is not for me - and it is not often I say that!! I think it is the black, perhaps too harsh and could be changed to gold card and pearl bling??? just ideas going around my mind...

The poinsettia's are not what I'd have thought of doing but there beautiful, need to keep the idea for next year!
ReplyDeleteMol x
Hi Sue I have tried poinsettias in most colours and love the different effects but I have not tried this, I think it works best for a mans card. None of us know how anything is going to work out until we try, your cards are always so good, do you ever have complete failures? I know I do but cannot imagine you ever having anything that is a complete flop.
ReplyDeleteAnother lovely card this morning. Must look for this Kraft paper and the coconut card that you use. I must be looking in the wrong places.
ReplyDeleteHello Sue,
ReplyDeleteI would love this one on my card list its just gorgeous.
The Poinsettia die just works in so many colours I have used Red, White and Cream (with a Pink blush added) every colour looks lovely and am now going to HAVE to try krinkly paper.
Thank you for all your ideas and inspiration.
Hope all is well with you, Love BrenLel
The crinkly craft poinsettia's don't do it for me. Im not at all sure why. The design is lovely though.
ReplyDeleteHi Sue,
ReplyDelete"Would you have this one on your Christmas card list?"
YES!
Frances
I am the same as Pam - wouldn't have dreamed of using krinkly paper even less that colour BUT as usual Sue, you've made a lovely lovely card - my determination to expand my imagination grows Have a cosy day Annie x
ReplyDeleteNot keen on the crinkly poinsettas but love the rest of the card. xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card, although i like the traditional cards i do like to mix it up a bit too, and this one is definately one i would do. love the crinkle kraft paper too. xx Gail from Eastbourne
ReplyDeleteSuch an unusal color...Love it a lot!!!
ReplyDeleteA lovely card, like the colours and the black bling swirls really sets it off. Would be happy to have this on my mantlepiece! Anne
ReplyDeleteThis is a great card!
ReplyDeleteI also love the poinsettias out of this paper :)
Great combo Sue - love the effect with the flowers!
ReplyDeleteI'm a traditionalist but still like this card, especially the poinsettias - I'm thinking they could be used in a non-xmasy way. I make a lot of nature cards and often in a brown/green colour-way and these would be great!
ReplyDeletebeautiful card love these poinsettias any colour they are fab.Laura O
ReplyDeleteI am a bit of a traditionalist - but I do love this card, the colours work very well and I am keeping my eyes open for the crinkly kraft paper

Am loving the card Sue, I think the crinkly paper is great & use it quite a bit. Sue B
ReplyDeleteWhite, golden or red poinsettias for me......... Kraft doesn't do it the same - is my opinion.

Hi Sue. I do mostly like traditional Christmas colours but your poinsettias made from Kringle craft paper look great! The rest of your card is nice too. If I was making it I would probably use gold or something other than black for a Christmas card. I like your card from yesterday to. I love that fleur de lis pendant die. Happy crafting love Tres x x x
