Good Sunday morning. Today I’m sharing a vellum poinsettia Christmas card. I used the Rubbernecker Stamps Poinsettia #2 stamped with the Splatter Background and paired with the Holly #1 and Borders #1. I thought the white embossed splatter pattern on the vellum petals was pretty and added interest to the flower.
The Decorative Layer
- Cut the decorative border layer using white cardstock.
- Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back and attach to the green card base.
The Poinsettia
- Rub embossing magic bag over a piece of white vellum to remove static.
- Apply white pigment ink to the Splatter Background and stamp it on the white vellum.
- Sprinkle white embossing powder on the vellum and then heat with the heat gun.
- Cut the poinsettia using the vellum cardstock and cut the largest flower section again using green cardstock.
- Form the petals gently using the large round stylus and molding pad.
- Attach all the layers together using glossy accents.
- Apply small white pre made white Nuvo Chrystal Drops to the center of the poinsettia and attach with glossy accents..
- Apply glossy accents to the back of the poinsettia and attach it to the card base.
The Holly
- Cut two sections of the holly using green cardstock.
- Form the leaves using the leaf tool and molding pad.
- Apply white pre made Nuvo Crystal Drops to the berry sections of the holly and attach using glossy accents.
- Tuck the holly under the poinsettia petals and attach to the card base using glossy accents.
I love how this vellum poinsettia Christmas card turned out. I went back and forth as to whether I should layer the white decorative section over a red or green card base. I finally decided the green base matching the green foliage created a more elegant card and showed off the vellum poinsettia perfectly. Check out this Vellum Poinsettia Cards link on Pinterest for more inspiration. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a good Sunday.

Outstanding! The card itself is a gift.
I can comment no better: this card itself is a gift.
Kittie, this is above and beyond beautiful, it’s a work of art. What a wonderful Christmas inspiration to wake up to. Beautifully done!!!
This is STUNNING, Kittie!!!! 😉 LOVE that you stamped the splatters too! I splatter & they go EVERYWHERE! LOL EVEN when I try to contain them! (Well, you know how I’m doing it with that said!) LOL ;)<3
Wow! This is gorgeous!
So gorgeous…love the vellum and the green….the splatter background is a great touch on the vellum…must have that…green is really refreshing….well done my friend…but then again…that is what you do every day…how many ways can I tell you….
Oh wow can I say this is just absolutely stunning! Love them Vellum flowers with the splattering and the holly leaves!
What a festive card! I have always enjoyed the white poinsettias a bit more than the red, as they go with every holiday color scheme. I see that you used a 40 lb weight vellum. I have tried flowers with vellum in the past and I end up taring them. I’ll try the heavier weight. BEAUTIFUL card!
Gorgeous poinsettia and gorgeous card. Love it.
Gasp! Stunning card. I’ll try and do it justice. Thank you for sharing.
Just saw this on Pinterest – what a lovely card! Thank you for sharing! The petal shaping looks interesting – will put that on my list of things to try.
Stunning!! I’m hoping to find 40 weight vellum so I can try to make this.
Your card is beautiful, Kittie!! Another fabulous creation! I love the vellum with the embossing…adds so much dimension to the poinsettia.
Oh, my goodness. This is just exquisite. What a beautiful card. I have this die but never thought to use vellum to create the poinsettia. Can’t wait to try this.
