Christi's Creative Crew: Poinsettia

I saw how this poinsettia was made using the XL Two Step Bird Punch on the Stampin’ Connection by Debra Brown so wanted to give it a try. It was quick and easy, but now I had to come up with a use for it, right? I immediately think of a card…

If you could only see this up close you could appreciate all the Champagne Shimmer Paint I added to the flower and to the Whisper White Card Stock. It really shines!!

THEN I started thinking CRAFT SALES and how I could incorporate the beautiful bird punch poinsettia.

The top one is made from a recycled Starbucks Iced Coffee jar and the second one is made from a recycled Mandarin Orange can with a “pop top.” When I open the can I use a can opener that cuts from the outside leaving no sharp edges, therefore I can clean it, fill it from the bottom, and reseal it with Crystal Effects. Then the recipient can “pop” the original top to get to his/her treat. I’m sure I will play around with this idea a bit more and see what other ideas or embellishments I can make to them.
