Die Cut Poinsettia Tags

Good Monday morning.  I have three elegant die cut poinsettia tags to share with you today.  I always love adding decorative and unique tags to presents going to those “extra special” people on my gift list.  I have fond memories of creating special wrapped packages for my parents and mother-in-law.  Both my mother and mother-in-law used to say they didn’t want to destroy the wrapping by opening the present.  LOL!  Each of my tags was made using the smallest frame from the Rectangle Combo die paired with  Poinsettia #1 and Poinsettia #2, Holly, Greenery and Berries. 

The Tag Base and Frames

• Cut the 3.75″ x 2.50″ tag bases using pink and white cardstock .
• Cut the frames using white cardstock.
• Apply mounting tape to the back of the frames and attach to the tag base.

The Poinsettias

Follow the directions below for each individual poinsettia.  Check out my step by step poinsettia tutorial if you would like to see how I form and assemble my poinsettia.  The tutorial was done with a different die set but the steps are the same.

• Cut the smallest flower section once using red or pink.
• Cut the second smallest flower section twice using red or pink.
• Cut the second smallest flower section twice using green cardstock.
• Cut the tiny flower sections using yellow cardstock and form them using the small tipped stylus and molding pad.
• Apply Spun Sugar and Worn Lipstick ink to the pink poinsettia sections using mini applicators. (I didn’t apply ink to the red poinsettia)
• Lay the poinsettia sections face down on the molding pad and form the petals using the large round stylus.
• Lay the poinsettia sections face up on the molding pad and push down in the centers using the small tipped stylus.
• Hint:  I layer two or three molding pads together so I can push down deeply on the flower centers to create more shape and dimension.
• Attach the poinsettia sections together using glossy accents. Off set the sections to create a natural flower.
• Attach the green flower sections to the bottom of each flower to create the green leaf base.
• Attach the tiny yellow flowers in the center of each poinsettia using glossy accents.

The Holly, Berry Branches and Greenery

• Cut the greenery, holly sections and berry branches using green cardstock.
• Cut the berries using red and pink cardstock.
• Use the jewel picker to pick up the berries and attach them to the base of the branches and holly leave using glossy accents.
• Gently form the holly leaves using your fingers to add dimension.

Assemble The Arrangements

• Attach the poinsettia to the tag base using glossy accents.
• Tuck the holly, berry branches and greenery under the poinsettia and attach in place with glossy accents.
• Finish the tags by applying sparkle to the berries and flower centers using the Spectrum Noir clear overlay pen.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my die cut poinsettia tags.  I think they are so elegant and festive and will add a special touch to each package.  Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have a great day.
