Merry Monday Poinsettia Greetings

Again, Lesley has a great sketch for Merry Monday!


I had just got this poinsettia die that I'd been wanting for at least a year.  DH says if you've wanted something that long, you probably should get it.  He didn't have to tell me twice!  So guess what I used for that little circle?


And what a perfect use for some snippets of that pretty decorative paper I've been enjoying. So over to Pixie's Crafty Workshop I go.

And I also want to honor Shadow's Mom (Lee-Anne) who is the Featured Stamper at SCS this week.  She did a beautiful punched poinsettia card last year.  Congratulations, Lee-Anne! Enjoy your week.

Be sure to check out the rest of the Design Teams cards.  I've had a sneak peek and they are gorgeous!

  1. Wow! What a beautiful card, Bonnie. I bought that poinsettia die last night and didn't use it until this year. I do love it. Yours was perfect for the circle.

  2. Gorgeousness! That little scallop you cut out at the bottom of the embossed mat is ingenious! And so is the poinsettia! I thought for a moment that you made it yourself...well, you know what I mean! BEAUTIFUL!

    I keep saying I'm not going to get that die - and then yet again, I want it so bad! You may have just convinced me to take the plunge and do it now!

  15. THIS is a gorgeous card, Bonnie! Did you trim the Apothecary mat by hand? And what did you use for the bottom scallop edge? Thanks for sharing your handiwork! :)

  17. Ok, this is probably a dumb question but how did you layer the image from the Ap0thecary Accents Die? I have seen others do this but can't for the life of me figure out how to do it. Thanks LuAnn

  18. That certainly is a beautiful die cut poinsettia and I agree if you have wanted something for over 6 months then it should be the law that you can get it. hugs, Amanda x

  23. So very elegant Bonnie! I'm loving all that white and the DSP you've used is stunning against the white background! That poinsettia is so cute, I might have to buy that die myself!
