This is one of the cards my card group will be making at my November meeting. The card is a standard A6 size.
The poinsettias are made using the SU! 5 Petal Flower punch. My demo Joanne showed me how to snip the petals a little deeper, add the veining with a DEET tool and pop up the petals by placing them on a moulding mat and then spiralling the large end of an embossing stylus in the centre.
My Ruby Red strip has been embossed using my new 5" x7" Holly Ribbons Cuttlebug folder, it's lovely! The sentiment oval is popped up.
EDITED TO ADD: The DEET (Double Ended Etching Tool) is used in floral punch craft, made popular by Leone Em in Australia. Joanne has a post on her blog where she talks about the tools and substitutes you can use. Here's a link to that post: http://joanne-mainlyflowers.blogspot...bstitutes
