Poinsettia Christmas

I played in a friend's craft room last week, and this is one of the cards I made with my pieces. I used a die set that I believe was from Memory Box/Poppystamps to cut the poinsettia pieces and leaves. I had cut them from white and colored them with Copics after I got home. The background is patterned paper from Gina K. The sentiment is from a Hero Arts set.

Daisy Die Cut

I made this card using another die cut from my time in Des Moines. It's from Poppystamps/Memory Box - called Floral Stem Collage. The die cuts a single flower, plus the frame with the flower and stem in it. I colored the stem and grasses and the flower with Copic markers. The individual flower is mounted on foam squares and has an enamel dot for the center. I used a piece of blue textured cardstock, embossed it with a Cuttlebug folder, sanded it down and used it to fit behind the daisy. I matted that panel on foam squares.

EDITED TO ADD: The embossing folder that I used is called "Kitchen Weave." It's a 5 x 7 inch folder from Cuttlebug. 

EDITED TO ADD ALSO: The cardstock that I embossed with the folder was textured cardstock with a white core/center. After embossing, I used a sanding block to lightly sand it down. The sanding block that I have came from Stampin' Up! several years ago. It's about one inch square and about five inches long. It has a sanding surface on all four sides. I'm sure you can use one designed for other purposes- just make sure to do it lightly.
