Hero Arts | Vintage Layered Poinsettia Card

Hello friends! I am on my way to a crafty retreat in Ohio this morning (I am beyond excited!) and while I am travelling I wanted to share a few cards. So here’s one of them – this one was made using Hero Arts Antique Poinsettia stamp and coordinating die.

Like this card? Pin it and save for later

The Antique Poinsettia stamp was probably the one I was most excited about from Hero Arts Holiday 2016 catalog. Its a poinsettia after all, what is not to love? Being a huge Christmas enthusiast that I am I simply had to play with this stamp and use it on a card. So here’s my take on this fabulous stamp and coordinating dies.

This is no simple stamp. It was designed so that individual layers could be cut apart and layered over the main image for a more realistic dimensional look. Check out photo below to see what I mean:

If you don’t have coordinating dies you can most certainly stamp the image at least 2 times, color it and cut apart using scissors, but dies do make it a much easier and faster task. I said you need to stamp it at least twice, the image has 3 layers. The top smallest layer can be cut out from the bottom layer thus you’ll only need to stamp this image twice and will only need to color it twice.

Since this is such a beautiful stamp I didn’t want to take away from it, so I went with a very simple card design. I stamped Holiday Florals Bold Print background image in Versamark ink onto Olive Green cardbase from Simon Says Stamp (I used my MISTI and triple stamped this image). I also added a heat embossed circle – I used gold embossing powder and vellum and with with a beautiful holiday circle from the Warm & Cozy stamp set (I cut it out using sciccors) and added two little tags using Kelly’s Stamp & Cut set.
