I used a Poinsettia cutting file that I thought I got from Bird's Cards but can't find anymore (maybe she no longer is offering it-I noticed many files that I previously downloaded are no longer available) and my Silhouette to cut out two Poinsettias on one sheet of 8.5 x 11 card stock, then cut out some leaves to go behind it. No leaves were included in the Poinsettia file.
I then cut out paper to decorate the front, back and sides of the tote using scraps from an old paper pack purchased 3-4 years ago from JoAnn's.
I lifted the leaves of the poinsettia flower a little to make it more three dimensional, then assembled everything using a brad to keep them in place. I used a large glue dot to attach the poinsettia to the tote, then added a glittery self adhesive dot (from the Dollar Tree) to the brad in the center of the Poinsettia.
I then used Wink of Stella on the Poinsettia flower leaves-note to self: next time do it BEFORE assembly!
It's about 4.5 inches high by 3.5 inches wide which is perfect for some miniature candies or small gifts.
I want to make several more and if they turn out just as cute I will include those images below. The music note background paper paired with the poinsettia is so cute but because I am out of those scraps I will be playing with other papers.
