Lots of Christmas crafting going on. I try and do one "something" each day. Whew am I one busy lady!
Right behind the fast grab tack glue is a die that I actually lost a month ago. Now I was devastated because I use that die so much! Imagine my surprise when I opened a drawer that I thought had been searched properly and I heard the die fall. I started pulling things out of the drawer again and there it was. So glad I didn't order a new set...I was waiting until after Christmas! That's what happens when my space gets too cluttered!
I made a poinsettia using the Sizzix - Susan's Garden Poinsettia Die by Susan Tierney Cockburn. Check out the center. I achieved this look by taking her center piece folding it a little and dipping it into glue and then flowersoft that had been tinted a little and then I used a red marker and just dabbed a tiny bit on the tip. Wow these are just so life like. I definitely will be making more of these. So very easy!

I am ALWAYS losing things among the clutter. Usually I find them AFTER I've replaced them, so I'm glad yours turned up before you had to fork out any more cash!
I love that poinsettia!
you always make the prettiest flowers!!! I love this one!
That poinsettia is so rich, I almost thought it was real! Beautiful, Glenda!

Wow Glenda, I'm impressed, that the best center for a poinsettia that I have ever seen in the crafting industry. The flower is gorgeous.
I so want that die, the poinsettia you made is beautiful. Glad you found your die, hope you have a great week. Thanks for visiting and your comment. Happy crafting DeDe #8
Lucky you finding that die. I always seem to find things I've lost after I give up trying to find them.
That's a lovely poinsettia. Very realistic. Thanks for stopping by earlier. Happy WOYWW from #6.
GORGEOUS!! I've been eyeing Susan's dies...I just might have to bite the bullet and get me a couple! I love the realistic look
This is the most beautiful poinsettia! That does it. I'm getting a poinsettia die and I think this will be the one. Thanks so much for saying exactly which one it is. Your flower center is very creative and lifelike. Well, the entire flower is very lifelike. Hard to tell the difference from the real thing!
lovely flower i can see why you where so pleased to find the lost die and thanks for explaining how that;s a neat idea for the centres have a good week Andrea#29
What a gorgeous Poinsettia die- thats just hopped onto my wish list!Your flower is beautiful, love the colours you've used. Running late this week, playing catch up now. Have a great week, Hugs Shaz#57 xx
Hi Glenda,
Your poinsettia is gorgeous! I can understand why you were disappointed that you thought you had lost it. Going through my things I'm "discovering" all kinds of things. I'm sure my realtor was right when she said to de-clutter but moving most of my crafting supplies to the storage unit was a big mistake.
Thank you so much for visiting me already. I knew it would be late in the week before I could do most of my visiting.
Happy belated WOYWW
Peace, Kay (12)
CPR Glenda, the poinsettia is stuNning..not uSed to white ones i must say, have to remind myself that they're correct!! Love that you've had a moment of serendipity, and luck, witht the favourite die. Phew!
