Sparkling Poinsettia

I found this whilst looking through my class pics. I love that I can just start creating and don't know when to stop. I just love the versatility of this collection from Heartfelt. The Sparkling Poinsettia is a collection you can use time and time again, as I have shown in the picture, you can create cards, scrapbooking, of the page, and some really quick Christmas gifts such as napkin rings, soap bands and candle bands, even wine glass decorations, you can use traditional Christmas reds & greens or play around with gold & silver embossing and foil and with wreaths the stunning finish of whites. It makes it one of the most versatile Christmas sets you can own. I have used the Large Sparkling Poinsettia stamp & die set and the Small Sparkling Poinsettia stamp & die sets. I only have instructions for the cards, which I have added at the bottom of this post, I have added individual pics of the projects above and listed the materials that I could remember.
