Layering Modern Poinsettias For JUGS846

by Joanne James28. October 2026 12:50

Today I'm sharing a card for this week's 'anything goes' stencil challenge over at Just Us Girls:

   

I bought a new festive stencil a little while ago but had yet to ink it up, so this week's challenge over at Just Us Girls gave me the perfect opportunity - take a look:

 

 Here's the low-down on today's card:

My stencil is from Uniko and is called 'Modern Layering Poinsettias': it's a set of 5 layers that allow for easy build up of the floral images. The stencil also features some smaller single-layer poinsettias in between the big ones, but I masked these out as I wanted m design to focus on the larger blooms. I kept things rather simple on today's card: a simple stencilled central panel, with a thin red mat and a sparkly red glimmer sentiment (this is a new Memory Box die - thank you Elizabeth!) that fits perfectly between the flowers:

 

I initially used a gold foil sentiment, but the red glimmer looked much more festive! I went with very traditional festive colours for my card today, but I think it would also look nice in other colour combinations too, which would stretch this stencil beyond the festive season. I'm also linking my card today up with a new monthly challenge called AAA Christmas Card Challenges (a sister to the popular clean and simple AAA Cards Challenge) which has been set up b the lovely Maaike where their theme is 'Traditional Christmas'; for me a bright red poinsettia is as traditional as a nativity or a Christmas tree in my home during the festive season - although I never seem to manage to keep them alive beyond the season unfortunately!

Enjoy your day and I'll be back soon with another project. Until then, happy stampin'!

LOVE IT! Joanne... the glitter sentiment is perfect. I have to get in the craft room... I have a 1000 ideas and no time.  My house has gone on the market, and I hope it sells before the contract is signed for the new one...but who knows.  The new one is coming along...the floors are down, and it's painted inside...just waiting for the cabinets to arrive. School is seriously kicking my butt (thus no time!), and the new puppy arrives December 21st! I have to get into the craft room over the holidays to make JUGs cards for next year, or I will be in deep trouble trying to keep up.  There is too much to keep up with! Hope your life is calmer. Remember, I will have plenty of space in the new house; we could invite Carol Mc down for a crafty couple of days when you are in Florida again. Talk soon.
