I used a retired designer series paper as my base card front. You can use any paper that you have to match the card you want to make. It’s cut at 5 1/4x 4”. So to start you will be folding your real red card base in half and adhere your DSP to the front of it. Using the cut and emboss machine and the gold metallic paper you will use the embossing folder and the die that fits inside of it to cut and emboss at the same time. This is such a quick and easy way to make a big wow on your projects. Now we are going to do some stamping. With te real red ink, stamp out the large and small poinsettias, stamp both twice. Next stamp four of the small holly leaves with the shaded spruce ink and stamp two of the centers in the daffodil delight ink. Then you are going to cut all of those pieces out using the matching dies and the cut & emboss machine. One last cut using the basic white and the rectangle die for the sentiment. Now stamp your sentiment with real red ink. 

 For the rest of your assembly, adhere your gold piece to the center of your card. Adhere your sentiment in the center of the gold piece. Put your flowers together using your stampin’ seal tape or mono glue. Then with dimenionals pop up the poinsettias in opposite corners. On the inside, stamp a sentiment in real red ink on the basic white, 5 1/4x 4. Adhere that piece to the inside. If you want, you can stamp and cut one of the small poinsettias and holly leaves. Then adhere it to the right bottom corner of the inside piece. Done and done. You’re ready to send off your first card.
