Poinsettia Corner Tuck Fold Card

I don't know about you, but I always enjoy a Christmas in July card! It's swelteringly hot and humid here in Michigan, so it's nice to think about cooler temps! 

I recently received Box #11 from Your Paper Insider in exchange for creating a project with the papers and posting it on social media with their hashtag, and I have been thrilled with the papers in the box! If you'd like to see the first card I made with their papers, check out this link: Carrie's Custom Cards: Slatted Z-Fold Birthday Card for Your Paper Insider. Of course, with so many wonderful papers in Box #11, I couldn't stop at just one card! 😂 I have so many ideas in mind for the specialty papers! For card #2, I chose 4 of the papers from Box #11: Lavender Glitter Gloss for the poinsettia, Fairway Metallic Snapdragon for the leaves, Champagne Foil for the metallic pieces, and White Linen Acryl Art Board for the card base. I love the glitter gloss papers in Box #11 because they sparkle but don't shed! 

For the Corner Tuck Fold card design, I followed Susan Campfield's tutorial here: Pretty in Pink! Corner Tuck Fold Card with the Coneflower Celebration! I used Altenew's Perfect Poinsettias 3D embossing folder, Altenew's Poinsettia 3D die set, and Altenew's Fancy Peace die for all the embossing and die cutting on the card. I also used Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape for some of the layers on the poinsettia to give the poinsettia quite a bit of dimension. 

To finish the card, I added a few CTMH gold sparkle dots. 

I've recently become an affiliate for Altenew, so if you are interested in ordering something lovely from Altenew and would like to use my link, thank you very much! Here's the link: Carrie's Altenew affiliate page 

Here's where the side of the panel with the poinsettia gets tucked into the embossed corner panel. The embossed panel has Instant Dimension Foam Tape on the outside edges but no tape in the center section so the flap can tuck underneath it:

 

Here's a look at the papers I used for the card:
