Poinsettias simply say Christmas! These paper blossoms are designed as a fringed flower to be quilled into shape. The stamen, petals, and leaves are designed as one strip of paper to allow for quick rolling / quilling. Color markers were used on white 28 lb paper in these examples, however they can be cut from colored paper and the three parts glued into one strip.
The pine needle wreath is cut from two pieces of 80 lb paper and overlapped, then fluffed into shape to give the poinsettias a festive base. Add a bow and your Christmas greeting card is set. A windowed box protects and displays your 3D masterpiece.
Use the cubed box for party favor treats at that special party. The lid is prepared with a hole for the enlarged poinsettia to be inserted. The large poinsettia is split in half to make it easier to cut on a sheet of 8.5"x11" paper. A gift tag is also included so you can have it all match your scrapbook paper.
Need to warn guests of spicy foods or ones that contain nuts? Use the toothpick tag topped with a poinsettia to have it match all your decor.
Visit my blog to be inspired by a monogram of the letter E that I made for a friend:

The examples shown here were cut on a QuickKutz Silhouette SD - results may vary depending on machine.

This wreath is so beautiful;. I will be making dozens!!!
I'm thrilled to hear that, Neva - thanks so much! :D
WOW!!! Your wreath is so gorgeous!!! It reminds me of a similar project I used to do with my third graders where they each made one large poinsettia flower, and then I stapled all of them together to form a large Christmas tree on the bulletin board, a wall, or the door. The students enjoyed being part of our classroom decoration.
I love poinsettias~one of my favorite flowers!
Could you please tell me if I only need this file to make the card and give it away, or do I need to purchase the windowed box file separately?
Thank you so much for your time.
Hi Donna, thanks so much - you've totally made my day! Yes your purchase comes with the box, poinsettias, toothpick tag, wreath, and cube. I'd love to see what you make. Happy crafting to you!
PS, I'm still new to Meylah so I hope my reply gets to your inbox.
