Winterberry Poinsettia Fun Fold Card

I just love Altenew's Winterberry Poinsettia 3D embossing folder! It has a coordinating stencil, and I used that for my card here: Carrie's Custom Cards: Winterberry Poinsettias Christmas Card if you'd like to see what it looks like when ink blended with the stencils. For this card, I went with embossing pattern paper and then going over the embossed areas with white pigment ink. I love the soft look that created on the pink woodgrain pattern paper.

This card base started as a normal side-folding A2 card base, but I trimmed off a portion of the card front so that the inside of the card peeks out on the right side. Then I trimmed my embossed panels and adhered them to the front and inside of the card. 

Next, I die cut Altenew's Poinsettia Layering Die Set out of white cardstock and gently folded the petals for some dimension. I assembled the layers and then die cut the center out of the same pink woodgrain patter paper I used for the embossed background. I added that to the flower and adhered the flower to the card front with Altenew's Instant Dimension Foam Tape, taking care not to add any of the foam tape on the right side of the poinsettia where the card front is trimmed off (otherwise I would have glued the card shut). 

I die cut and embossed a bow from Altenew's Elegant Bows bundle and added it to the poinsettia. Then I stamped "Faith is at the heart of the holidays" from a retired Altenew set called "Blessings" onto the pink woodgrain pattern paper using VersaMark ink and white embossing powder. I heat set the sentiment and trimmed it before adhering it to the poinsettia.
