Now you must know I have a love/hate relationship with the sparkly stuff; if I am near it I get it in my eyes & hair, on my face & children, and sometimes even on my husband. I have learned that Stickles glitter glue works better for me than the loose kind.
I used the Canvas & Linen impression plate on New Leaf cardstock and then embossed it with a Sizzix folder, sewed the perimeter, and added glitter with gold Stickles.
I embossed the sentiment, added a strip of Scor-tape to help me pleat the ribbon, and attach it quickly.
The die cut & stamped poinsettia got some foam adhesive for dimension and it also helped it sit better on the pleated ribbon. I applied clear Distressed Stickles all over the green center and dotted gold Stickles on top.
The inside got some stamping love with off-the-edge poinsettias. I used another sentiment from Christmas Poinsettia set on the inside, which I placed in the Fillable Frames #4 image--it fit nicely too!
Thanks for looking!

This is full of terrific details - love the impression & embossing! I'm a big fan of Stickle to add glitter too!
