Maple leaf into Poinsettia Flower

Hi Everybody,

I am sharing a Christmas flower project by using what I have on hand to create a Poinsettia flower.  I used the Cuttlebug Maple leaf diecut to create it.

Here is how I began. 

• I used Recollections Cardstock Paper - Red.
•  McGill 1 3/8" Alpine Snowflake as my petal base.
• 7 Maple leafs are needed
• Glitter leafs as needed..I used Martha Stewart Glitter pen
• let glitter dry
• two layers each having 3 Maple leafs..
• Lay 2nd layer offset from first
• the 7th leaf is cut up and glittered to lay as layers



Eample: First layer of  3 Maple leafs


I used green glitter pen to make stamens for center of flower. 



I did use my McGill 'Shaping Tools & Molding Mat' to give it a 3D effect

Here is the finished product.

I hope you enjoyed my Poinsettia Flower and take the challenge to make your own with what you have.
This Frugal Grannie is leaving you with Blessings for a safe Holiday Season.

FYI..these Tiger Lillies on this card below were also made with the Cuttlebug Maple Leaf Diecut.

Until next time...be Blessed of the Lord Jesus Christ.
