# Frames # Leaves

Merry Christmas Poinsettia


I love the new Rose Leaf Strip die and created this beautiful poinsettia by die cutting the strip three times; for a total of six of each of the three size leaves.  How great to be able to cut all three sizes in one pass!  First, I trimmed off the stems.  Then using a small circle of card stock as a base, I built the flower from the bottom up; large, medium then small leaves.  I added three gold gems in the center.  The detailing and ease of molding the leaves is just incredible.


My card started with a white card stock base, 5 1/4" square.  I added a red panel 4 3/4" square and then mounted the fabulous Mexican Tile Pattern frame.  As I was assembling the card, I thought just the frame and the Sentiment #2 would make a lovely card by themselves.  I laid the sentiment die down on a piece of white card stock and traced around the outer edge.  Then hand trimmed the backing for the die.
