Festive Christmas Swirl
Festive Christmas Swirl

Instructions:
Create an opening base from the Red 6A Sheet of the Festive Poinsettia Paper Collection HCDP1-2129. Fold the sheet in half (you can use a creasing board if you have one). Tape the outer frame of the Lattice Swirl Gatewey Die HCD2-7328 with painter's tape slightly out of the left side. Pass through the cutting machine. From the yellow 10B sheet of this collection, cut an inner openwork frame. Using glue, place on the prepared base.
Prepare flowers (2 small from the Large set and 2 medium ones from the Small set) and 5 leaves with curls of various sizes. 1 flower consists of 2 red-stained and 1 green-stained petals, the same size for the larger flowers.
Stamp the images on a white cardstock, use green (Bamboo Leaves) for leaves and red (Black Cherry) for flowers. Cut with matching dies. Use the dauber to apply the same colors, with the center of the flowers colored yellow (Sunflower). Shape in the coordinating 3d shaping molds. Hold each of the petals in the middle with your fingers, slightly bending the ends down. Add 2 red petals with a slight shift, place on the foam mat from the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit HCST1-401. Make a recess with the largest ball device in the set. Connect both petals with glue. Underneath, add a green of the same size. For small flowers, glue only 2 red petals together. Add yellow tinged stamped stamens. Apply a small amount of glue on them and sprinkle with Crystal Clear powder. Sprinkle the rest of the flower with Krystallos Glass Shards.
Create an arrangement of flowers and flourishes as shown. Add decorative string to both sides.
Stamp the sentiment from the Festive Winterscapes HCPC-3921 set on a white cardstock. Use Black Cherry color. Cut with a frame from the Cut Mat Create 1B kit. Attach with foam strips at the bottom.
