Poinsettia Stem

Hello there my crafty friends!  Welcome to the final post of the Festive Collection blog launch!  This post is dedicated to showcasing the Poinsettia Stem.  Since I have shown quite a few cards along the way that have used just the flower from this die set, I decided to share this clean and simple card where I have used the entire poinsettia stem on the card.  It is very elegant like this or use the entire flower in multiples across your card too.  You can use the stem as an outline or paper piece the leaves back into the outline as I have done here.  The actual flower itself makes a beautiful statement without the stem too, so there is so much versatility with this one!  Even after Christmas is over, this is a lovely flower to use in a myriad of colours too.  Feel free to pinit if you like for later inspiration.  For the last time, I will remind you to leave a comment to be entered in to the drawing to win this one!  Please do not forget to check back on June 21st (in the afternoon) to see if your name is among the winners posted!  I hope you have enjoyed the launch as much as I have and have found something to your liking as well!  All for now, Sue x

    I've had my eye on the poinsettia flower throughout your launch. It shows what a special die it is when it can make such an elegant card like this.
    I've thoroughly enjoyed your festive collection and whilst it's sad that it is over, I will look forward now to seeing your cards showcasing them.
    Have a good evening and thank you for all your hard work which has kept many of us sane.

  15. Hi Sue, a really beautiful CAS card and the Poinsettia Stem is so elegant, I can see it adorning many cards. Lots of favourites in this launch but the Holly and Poinsettias are at the top along with the Poinsettia and Snowflake adjustable frames and the Deco Snowflake Background. Maybe a win on the lottery is on the cards, I will need it :-)
    Yet another great launch and I would like to thank you for all the hard work that goes into it and your never ending generosity in giving away so many dies. Thank You.

  29. Good Evening Sue. Ohhhhh and so it ends. What a brilliant Launch. It's been absolutely great and couldn't have come at a better time. Through all this launch you have certainly given me... and I dare say other wilsonettes... something to look forward to every day instead of all that's been on the news and media. Today's final sample is beautiful and is a fabulous example of your work that you share with us each day. So again I say Thankyou Sue.Someone is going to be very lucky. Kind regards Ann Toppcards Leeds Ls10.

  33. Hi Sue. So that's the end of another wonderful and successful launch. I certainly have my favourites and the new set of edging dies plus the polar bears and penguins are right up there at the top. I can't tell you how much I look forward to using my new dies when my festive season orders filter through as I personally won't be able to do my normal market for goodness how long so relying on my regular December orders will pay for these outstanding new dies.
    I'm so happy I found you when I did as I couldn't ask for a better tutor or mentor to help me with this hobby that went mental. Via this launch I had the nicest anniversary day I've had in a while, not only was I out walking with my man and our dog for the first time since lock down, Tuesday I feel had the most beautiful inspiration every post made me smile, so this past week has been perfect in the most weird way - thank you. Please everyone STAY SAFE, STAY WELL, STAY SENSIBLE and we'll come through together 🌈 xxx

    I can't believe this is the last day already. All of the dies have made it on my list of must haves but my absolute favourite is the mosaic ray background, followed by the art deco tree background followed by the rest of the entire collection. I love them all x

  42. Hi Sue and everyone, wow I'm sad that the launch has finished. But I'm glad I came back in time to catch it. I'm still not feeling mentally 100% after testing positive with Covid but I'm going to attempt to get back to working as soon as possible, as I miss my friends and helping people, as you have helped me with the beautiful inspiration for the last week. I need to get back to work or I will never have any money to buy all these beautiful dies and stamps and embossing folders.
    If I have to chose a favourite it will be the bow with the holly and poinsettias. I think the wait was worthwhile thank you Sue. See you tomorrow and I will be looking out for the techniques for my favourite cards hugs Donna xx

    Well, thank you for some superb samples from your new die launch. I can’t believe it’s over already!

    Another beautiful card, very classy and elegant. The frame and pointsettia looks beautiful with the crisp white and red.

    Another proud moment under your belt Sue, watch those dies fly. I think my favourite is still the poinsettia adjustable frame but I like the Poinsettia Stem and lots of others!

    Hello Sue.
    A beautiful card to end the Launch.I don't think I commented on all of them as trying to help with funeral arrangements for my Granddaughter took a great deal of emotional energy and I made a simple card using your 2019 Angel as the focal point for each of the allowed guests.
    Your Festive Launch has been lovely as always.
    Hugs.

  56. Hi Sue,
    This last card is gorgeous!It showcases many of of the new collection most beautifully and the Poinsettia Stem that I have been waiting for. This clean and simple card is my second favorite of this launch.

    Can't quite believe this is the last post but all good things must come to an end I guess. Very well done Sue, you have excelled yourself once again. Thank you for bringing so much joy into our life specially in these troubled times. Looking forward to seeing the cards you will be inspiring us with. Till then, good luck dear Wilsonettes.

  58. Hi Sue
    I’ve made it back for the final post! Sorry I’ve been absent for the last few days. Been under the weather - most inconvenient during your launch! Going to take my time and go back and drink in your talent and magnificent cards that I have not managed to comment on and try and say a few words x
    Well this is gorgeous. I love this beautiful poinsettia and had noticed it popping up on quite a few cards. It is framed with your amazing new ‘loopy’ deco snowflake background die - such a stylish card.
    You have really put me in the mood now to get cracking with the old Christmas cards. Problem is when I’m under the weather it affects my hands so never manage to crack on as much as I’d like.
    I love all the new dies in this year’s festive collection. A lot of the dies are quite far removed from what I was expecting and as usual I want to add them all to my die collection x
    As always Sue you have but a big chunk of happiness to make us smile and fill us all with joy. A very welcome tonic. Your blog is the highlight of my day - especially at the moment. You must be over the moon with all the lovely comments and looking forward to showing us some more Christmas gorgeousness in the months to come x
    Thank you so much, as always, for sharing and giving us all a chance to win x
    Take care and stay safe everyone x
