I'm so excited to introduce this beautiful new Poinsettia Borderabilities Grand die S7-016. I created a layout about our Christmas party and used the border across the bottom of it.

Supplies: Spellbinders S7-016 Poinsettia Borderabilities Grand, Glitter: Ruby Slippers, Peridot (ClearSnap) Gold Lame Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink (ClearSnap,) Cardstock: Bazzill, Pattern Paper: Collage Press (Scrooge and Marley,) Scenic Route (Roxbury,) Chipboard: Scenic Route (Roxbury,) Alphabet Stickers: American Crafts, Making Memories

If you don't have a Grand Cut Mat Kit, you can still use this border die with a shorter white master mat. You will just have to run it twice through your machine.

Your sandwich should be as follows: 1) Master Mat 2) Spacer plate 3) Die (cut side up) 4) paper 5) Master Mat

The end that is not being cut slides in first, coming toward you. The extra will be sticking out the bottom.

When you are done, it should look like the photo above and you will need to pick up your die template and paper and move it up onto the spacer plate.

Do the same to emboss using the sandwich as follows: 1) Master Mat 2) die (cut side up) 3) paper that has been cut and is fitting in the die 4) Tan embossing pad 5) Master Mat

After you remove it, the half embossed image will look like this. Repeat the same steps just as you did to cut.

To add the glitter, keep the paper in the die and paint modge podge onto the embossed side. It's best to add it in small sections at a time so the glue doesn't dry before adding glitter. After adding the first color of glitter, use a paint brush to get rid of extra glitter.

Before removing it from the die, add the green glitter in sections the same way as the red.

Carefully peel the paper from the die and paint Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink onto the remaining embossed parts. Let dry.

Adhere to cardstock strip and embellish your scrapbook page.

I love cream Poinsettias at Christmas time and I wanted to create a card that used the Poinsettia Borderabilities Grand die S7-016 with a cream look.

After cutting and embossing the die, I used Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink to paint on a lighter color and gold to give it highlights. Then I mounted it on green cardstock and curled up the petals so that the green could be seen underneath.

Here is all the information you'll want to know about this die. Please be sure you read through the rules posted bellow for your chance at winning this gorgeous die!

Poinsettia Borderabilities Grand #S7-016 MSRP $24.99
