Thanks so much for sharing to use the lint roller to remove the bits of paper, I am so going to use that idea! Great tip also on drawing the veins on the leaves, that is so cool and it really does make it look realistic. Your cards turned out so beautiful, love them! Hugs
Thanks Sib, This Christmas challenge has really helped me improve my card making skills. Practice makes perfect huh? Hugs girlfriend...see you tomorrow, C
Thanks so much for this tutorial Candace! It is so helpful to see how you added all the veining and created a more rich and realistic look with the distress ink. Plus that lint roll tip is the bomb. :) tfs hugs, Kristina
Candace, great tip for using the lint roller! woot! Thanks for that, never thought of it! Gorgeous poinsettia, I finally have this one, thanks for the tut! Wahoo! You are so sweet. xoxo Jen
I know this is an old video but I just got my tattered poinsettia die. THANK YOU for this! I don't have the embossing folder so I love how you did the veining.
+Jesse b Oh yay!! You will love it Jesse. I hope you enjoy, I always try to find alternative ways to make things to save $$. Have a super day and Merry Christmas...xo C
I bought good double sided tape for the first time. I put that on the paper, die cut it, and then glittered. I punched out some snowflakes from the excess and glittered those too. I actually really love the "leaves" where I let the green glitter mix with both reds and a hint of the gold I used in the center. I have wanted the die for a long time. I didn't buy it because I already had the tattered floral. Well, I have filled gallon size bags with tattered floral die cuts in anything from junk mail, cereal boxes, to Amazon boxes for my daughter to paint. I bought it half off on Black Friday 2014. I have used it on no less than a hundred cards. I decided that the poinsettia die was worth it! My one HUGE dissapointment is that I thought barn door distress ink was red. Its orange. I don't have a red ink pad
+Jesse b Yeah, the Tim Holtz distress line doesn't really have a true red color. The strawberry is more pink and the barn door is more orange. Have fun with your new die, it sounds like you use the floral die a LOT which means it's worth having.
Hi Candace... I want to let you know that Tim Holtz has a set of embossing folders that go with the Tattered Poinsettia die. It's called Sizzix 2-Pack Texture Fades Embossing Folder Textured Poinsettia. It has the 3 different die cut shapes in one of the folders and it makes all the veins of the petals for you. It's fabulous! He has several dies that have matching embossing folders that do that; the Tattered Leaves, Eiffel Tower, Holiday Wreath, etc. I bought mine on Joann.com for less than $7.00 a while ago but it's always on sale there.
Beautiful, i have the set, Bigz and embossing folder. I Think i have 8 different Poinsettia dies, But this i My absolut Favorite... Merry Christmas from Denmark🎄
Thank you Birthe!! My family on my Dad's side comes from Denmark, not sure exactly where but I hope to take a trip there some day!! Have a wonderful weekend, xo C
Another tip for the ole' lint roller.... Use The Lint Roller to Pick Up Glitter from the table after you are done crafting with your glitter. The glitter gets picked up really well with the lint roller. ;)
Great demo. on how to put these together. The final outcome was very pretty. And the lint brush to clean the die of paper is a great tip!

Great Tip. I need to get one of my lint rollers and put it in my craft room. I love the way they came out. They do look real. TFS . Luvya, Diane
Thanks D! I keep my lint roller right by my cuttlebug. I bet you could find many other uses for it also! TFW my friend, Love, Hugs, and Blessings, C
