Today I am sharing with you my Pop Up Sparkling Poinsettia Candle Card. It features the stamps, dies and papers from the Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Collection and the Heartfelt Creations Decorative Oval Die.
What I like about this card design is that you can actually fold it flat to mail. At the end of this post you will find complete instructions on how to create this Pop Up Christmas Card.
I actually created this card design back in October 2011 when I first applied for the Heartfelt Creations Design Team. This is my original card that I created with the now discontinued Heartfelt Creations Holiday Poinsettia Candle PreCut Stamp Set and the discontinued Heartfelt Creations Decorative Window Scene Die.
For more inspiration from the other design team members, please visit the Heartfelt Creations Blog. Have a great day!
