Layered Lush Botanicals: Poinsettia Holiday Card

Hello friends!  The Altenew July 2026 release is available now!  Today I'm sharing this holiday card that features three of the awesome new sets:

• Lush Botanicals: Poinsettia 3D Embossing Folder and Die Set
• Winterberry Poinsettias 3D Embossing Folder
• Holiday Essentials Die Set

I started with the Lush Botanicals: Poinsettia 3D Embossing Folder and Die Set.  This beautiful embossing folder has coordinating dies that you use to die cut the petals of the poinsettia.  I did that first by die cutting some Heart Beat and Forest Glades cardstock.  I die cut the flower center from some Brushed Gold cardstock.  I added a few inks (in the list below) with Mini Blending brushes to give the petals some depth and dimension.

Next I placed the die cut petals into the Poinsettia 3D embossing folder and ran it through my die cutting machine.  I used glue to adhere the layers together.  (This die set has Altenew's ingenious Key Hole system which makes aligning the layers so very easy!). Then I added white paint splatters for a snowy look!

I glued the poinsettia to a white cardstock panel that I embossed with the Winterberry Poinsettias 3D embossing folder.

The sentiment is from the new Holiday Essentials die set.  I die cut the top layer three times and glued the layers together.  I adhered that to the bottom shadow layer that I die cut from Heart Beat cardstock.  Then I added foam adhesive to the back to pop it up on the card.

I added a few gold sparkles from the Metallic Gold & Silver Gem Sparkles set.

Be sure to check out the entire July 2026 release over on Altenew's website.  It is filled with holidays and non-holiday products for your card making fun!
