Sparkling Poinsettia Decorated Lamp Post

Today I am sharing with you my Sparkling Poinsettia Decorated Lamp Post that I created using a lamp post I found at a thrift store. I painted it with DecoArt Metallic Glaze before decorating it with design paper, stamps and dies from the beautiful Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Collection.

The gold trim and brooch are from MonAmiGabby and the Cranberry Pearls are from Want2Scrap.  I purchased a Sage Green/Gold Damask LCD candle from Pier One to complete the lantern.

Instructions:   Paint wooden lamp post with Renaissance Brown DecoArt Dazzling Metallics Metallic Glaze.  With Dries Clear Adhesive add MonAmiGabby Diamond Mesh Collection in Gold to the lamp post.  To add height to where the base of the candle sits, I painted a round lid with the Renaissance Brown Paint and adhered it to the lantern part of the lamp post with hot glue.  Create a bow with satin ribbon and with hot glue add the MonAmiGabby Brooch to the center of the bow and then add bow to the lamp post with hot glue.  Then on cream and burgundy colored Poinsettia Paper with Galaxy Gold Ink stamp the large poinsettia from the Large Sparkling Poinsettia Stamp Set and the poinsettias from the Sparkling Poinsettias Stamp Set and on green Poinsettia paper stamp the leaves from the Large Sparkling Poinsettia Stamp Set and from the Holly Berry Cling Stamp Set and add Gold Ranger Embossing Powder to all. Tap off excess and heat set.  Die cut the poinsettias and leaves with the coordinating Sparkling Poinsettia Die, Large Sparkling Poinsettia Die and Ornamental Add On Die.  Spray the poinsettia centers with Tattered Angels Glitter Mist in Iridescent Gold and then with Dries Clear Adhesive add Crystal Glitter.  With the Deluxe Flower Shaping Kit, shape the leaves and poinsettias, layering poinsettias as shown and using the centers from the burgundy die cuts in the cream poinsettias and the centers from the cream die cuts in the burgundy poinsettias.   On the smallest burgundy poinsettia near the candle add Prills to the center with Dries Clear Adhesive.  Add Cranberry Pearls to the Holly Berry Leaves with Dries Clear Adhesive. With Dries Clear Adhesive add Crystal Glitter to the poinsettias.    Add Poinsettias and leaves as shown to the lamp post with a hot glue gun.  On the largest poinsettia at the base of the post add Lemoncello Mini Dew Drops with Dries Clear adhesive to the center of the poinsettia.  Sit Sage Green/Gold Damask LCD Votive Candle in center of lantern on lamp post.

Christmas Card with Heartfelt Creations

I have a couple more cards to share with you using Heartfelt Creations Sparkling Poinsettia Collection.  For the first 5" x 7" card I used traditional red and green colors.

I colored the stamped image with Tim Holtz Distress Ink and and a Tim Holtz Water Brush.

For my next card I created an Elegant Poinsettia card featuring the elegantly embossed HCPC 3683 - Joy to the World Cling Stamp Set.

The beautiful trim and pearl and gold accents are from MonAmiGabby.
