I've got a dozen cards in my head that use this bundle. I made a couple before sitting down to write this and then saw something shiny. So there are going to be a few posts today, I think.
Using the Poinsettia dies (the cutting ones and the embossing ones), cut and emboss one each of the 3 poinsettia layers from the vellum and two of the stem pieces out of the Cherry Cobbler cardstock. I did one of each.
Now, let's do the things that will need time to dry. I'm not a fan of glitter but I do like sparkle. I don't know why I wanted sparkly wood, but I did and I loved the outcome. Stampin' Up! doesn't currently have any white glimmery paper so I decided to make my own. I poured a small amount of Champagne Mist Shimmer Paint on both pieces of watercolour paper. I painted the whole piece using the waterbrush. Don't worry about perfect coverage. The next step will not only hide your flaws, but imperfections will make it look even better. Set aside to dry.
As I was setting these aside, I noticed the vellum. Hmm, this would look better sparkly, too. I had enough sparkle left on my waterbrush that I was able to paint the smaller two pieces. As they dried, they curled up dramatically but I knew I could address this when I started gluing it all down.
Colour the ribbon using the dark Cherry Cobbler Blend. Set aside to dry.

Using the Pinewood Planks 3D embossing folder, run the large piece of watercolour paper through your embossing machine. How beautiful is this??
Glue the watercolour paper onto the Cherry Cobbler cardstock. Wrap the ribbon around, gluing on the back. Glue this down onto the Crumb Cake cardstock base.
Stamp "Thank you for making this a wonderful season" onto the small piece of watercolour paper. Notch the end, using scissors. Glue centered on the card, partly onto the ribbon.
Assemble the poinsettia, adding a beaded pearl to the center. Glue stems and poinsettia down. I had to add some liquid glue here and there to manage the petals that were curling up. Once all of the glue dried, I patted it down with my embossing buddy to make sure that any exposed stickiness was deactivated.
