Poinsettia Christmas Card:
Introducing the WOW! Ice Crystal Trio
The star of today’s project is the brand new Ice Crystal Trio Embossing Powders from WOW! This collection includes three gorgeous embossing powders: White Ice, Blue Ice, and Pink Ice. Each one brings a unique shimmer that’s perfect for creating a frosty, festive look. I used these powders to cover the layers of my die-cut poinsettia, giving it a magical, icy appearance that’s sure to wow anyone who receives this card.
Materials You’ll Need
Here’s a quick rundown of the materials I used:
Die-cutting machine and poinsettia die
Liquid adhesive
Top folding Pink card base
White mat layer
Die cut sentiment
Frosted embellishments
Crafting the Perfect Poinsettia
Creating this poinsettia was a joy. Each layer of the poinsettia die cut was embossed with one of the Ice Crystal powders. The largest layer got a coat of White Ice, the medium layer was covered in Blue Ice, and the smallest layer was adorned with Pink Ice. For the leaves, I used Primary Evergreen Embossing Powder, and the center of the flower was finished with Polished Gold Super Fine Embossing Powder.
Pro Tip: When heat setting the embossing powders, make sure to let each layer cool completely before stacking them. This ensures that the adhesive bonds well and the layers don’t shift.
Building the Background Panel
For the background, I used the Fab Foilers Love & Hugs set with Fab Foils Peruvian Gold. Running the striped background panel through my laminator with the foil created a beautiful, metallic finish that’s just perfect for the holidays. And here’s a little trick to avoid wasting any foil: I took the leftover foil and placed it on a Fab Foils Solid Panel, then ran it back through the laminator. This way, I ended up with two stunning panels from one piece of foil!
Pro Tip: Always keep your laminator handy when working with foils. It’s a game changer for adding that professional touch to your cards.
Assembling the Card
Once the background panel was trimmed and adhered to a white mat layer, I attached it to my top-folding Pink card base. The embossed poinsettia was then placed on the top right of the card front, and I added a die cut sentiment to the bottom of the panel. A few frosted embellishments in the center of the poinsettia completed the look, adding just the right amount of sparkle.
Final Touches
A quick tip on the final assembly: Make sure all the layers and embellishments are securely adhered, especially if you’re planning to mail the card. You wouldn’t want any pieces coming loose in transit!
