Good Monday morning. Do you love coordinating designer paper? I sure do! My project today was made using Tina Wenke’s newly released Holiday Card Making Paper combination pack. Each 12×12 paper is made of 4- 6×6" small scale patterns which are perfect for card making. This is the paper I used today.
I love the Blooming Poinsettia paired with the Pine Branch and thought it would be fun to use these coordinating papers for the flower and pine.
I cut the flower petals in both the red and green patterns to use not only as the petals but for the poinsettia leaves. I cut the pine using the green. I formed the petals and pine using my stylus and mat. I distressed some of the petal tips pointing up and some down to create a natural looking flower and assembled the flower using glossy accents. I was careful to offset each layer of petals to avoid them lining up unnaturally.
I attached the flower to the card base with glossy accents and then added the pine and green foliage around under the petals. I think these papers are so festive and appealing together. If you would like to see step by step pictures of how I assemble my flowers you can check out poinsettia tutorial on the right top side of my blog home page.
I hope you have a great week and that you get a chance to play with some paper, dies and ink. Thanks for stopping by.

you have always remarkable cards. very liked
This is such a beautiful Christmas card. Love the way the background paper echoes the poinsetta. You always make the most beautiful flowers. I also like the way you blocked the background papers so that the poinsetta sits on the border.
This gives me a great idea for what to do with our Flower Petal Punch – pointsettas! Thanks!
Such gorgeous papers! I am in love with that shade of red….so rich! Your flowers are always top-notch, and this card is simply superb! Love everything about it! You are a true inspiration for me to keep trying to do ‘more’ with ‘less’! Thank you!
good Morning, Kittie, what a clever idea. to match the paper, even in the flower. Well done. that poinsettia looks like velvet. Love the idea….. hugs and smiles
