Instructions:

Using the Big Shot cut the piece of Lovely Lipstick with the poinsettia open Framelit
Remove the printed liner from the Adhesive Sheet, and adhere the sheet to the square piece of Cherry Cobbler.
Run the Cherry Cobbler (adhesive side down) through the Big Shot with the poinsettia detailed Thinlit. Don’t worry if the adhesive sheet isn’t cut all the way through, when you remove the liner all the pieces will come off.
Place the poinsettia open Framelit on top of the Cherry Cobbler. Position it carefully so the margins are even, then tack it into place with painter’s or Washi Tape, as seen in this photo. Run it through the Big Shot again.
Remove the Backing from the adhesive on the back of the detailed Cherry Cobbler poinsettia, and adhere it to the Lovely Lipstick - matching the flower shape.
Cut the piece of Champagne Foil with the largest circle in the Stitched Shapes Framelits.
Stamp the sentiment in the bottom third of the piece of Shaded Spruce CS, using Shaded Spruce Ink. Place the cardstock in the Tufted EF with the stamped side against the side of the folder with the Stampin’ Up! logo on it. Run it through the Big Shot.
Score and fold the large piece of Cherry Cobbler in half, then crease with the Bone Folder to form the card base.
Adhere the Shaded Spruce piece to the card front with SNAIL (or your favourite adhesive for adhering layers).
Adhere the flower to the Foil circle with Dimensionals and the circle to the card front with Dimensionals.
Adhere the Very Vanilla CS to the inside of the card for stamping and/or writing your greeting.

Another design that is easy enough that you could make several, assembly-line style, for your favourite friends and family.
