Hi Everyone it's time for CAS Christmas Card Challenge, Linda is our host for this month and she's asked us to pull out our Poinsettia's for this months challenge.
Welcome Sandra of (Sandma's Handmade Cards) as our Guest Designer, please check out her card and blog along with the rest of the Design team, there are so many beautiful Poinsettia cards on display for your inspiration.
I have 3 cards for you using the Altenew poinsettia 3D Embossing folder.
For the first card I embossed white card and framed it with red, because of the size of the embossing folder I created 2 cards out of the one embossed image. I love it when I can get a twofer.
My second card I embossed using red card, but this time I inked the embossing folder with Versamark before I placed the red card in the folder. I then used clear embossing powder which highlighted the embossed lines. Again I got a twofer for my Christmas card stash.
For my third card I inked the embossing folder with red ink and placed white card in the folder, you can see the whole embossed image on this card.
I'm entering my cards for the following challenges

Three really beautiful cards. They are all really special and I can't choose a favourite. I never would have thought of using clear embossing powder like that, what an amazing effect. Will have to try and remember to try it now xx
Wow - what a beautiful embossing folder Christine! Love the depth of the image it gives - all of your cards are beautiful with the techniques you used! xx
I love how the images are framed. It makes such a nice clean look. Beautiful cards.
I LOVE how you've framed the deeply embossed poinsettia, Christine! It's so dramatic with the red frame and in the red with the white frame! Both really emphasize the center of the flower! Awesome job of inking and embossing too! Way to go getting lots of cards for your stash!
Oh, my word! I saw the first card and then the next and the next, and my mouth hung open a little wider with each one! These are all so beautiful, each with a different look. You have some amazing cards here, Christine!
All of your cards are beautiful Christine. What an amazing embossing folder and you've used it to perfection, my friend! xx
A fabulous poinsettia trio, Christine! The dimension of the embossed flowers is wonderful! The white one looks like a beautiful plaster sculpture. Using clear embossing powder to highlight the embossed lines is a clever idea. Thank you for sharing the technique!

Three beautiful cards and absolutely love them all in particular the first one...then they are all so classy and exquisite. x
WOW what striking effects with that fabulous embossing folder. I love them all but extra loving the first one, which has such an eye catching design x.
Superb card and inspiring ways of using embossing folders x
I'm absolutely LOVING all 3 cards Christine, but especially the 2nd card...GORGEOUS!! I still have this embossing folder sitting out on my desk from making my reminder card, and now that you've given me inspiration for 3 more ideas, I'm glad I never took the time to put the folder away...thank you!! Lovely, lovely cards!! :0)
Love all three of these, but the one you posted for CAS Christmas is my favourite - the red framing of the white embossed poinsettia is so striking. Thanks for showing three great ways to use that embossing folder.
Brilliant ideas for your embossing folder, Christine! The first card is my fave, but I do love them all, and I'm adding this EF to my wishlist...Thank you for inspiring me, as I love getting a twofer from one panel :) xx
All lovely, but the white with the red framing is a standout. Gotta love it when you get twofers in one go.
The embossing is nice.
These cards look so elegant. I have my favorite (second card) but actually all three deserve the first place on the podium. Thank you for such a beautiful inspiration, Christine.

This 3D poinsettia image looks fabulous on all three cards Christine, a love the partial view through the aperture on the first two, especially the glossy red, and then the whole thing highlighted so prettily with the red ink. x
so beautiful

So pretty, Chrisine. Both look great and I love that EF! Great layout/design. Hugz
3 amazing cards from the same folder! I love the red embossed one inked with versamark, love the details that pop from the embossing, Cathy x
Oh how gorgeous these cards are... I absolutely adore the framed ones... so unique and very creative
Three beautiful cards, Christine. The first one is my favorite, the white embossed poinsettia surrounded by the red.
These are the most amazing cards! love the last one with the white embossed with red ink. I will have to try that technique!
what a wonderful showcase for that fabulous embossing folder. They are all great cards! So glad you joined us at ATCAS this week
