Happy Birthday by Lisa Elton

Hello and welcome! I hope your summer is going well and all of your flowers are blooming! I thought is was the perfect time to bring the Brilliant Geraniums out to play. I've added them to a birthday card today. Let see how things started, shall we?

I die cut the blooms then did just a touch of inking to their centers. Then the fun began... layering them up! I was trying to mimic a pretty pot of geraniums we gave my mom for Mother's Day this year. Fairy crystals were added to their centers for a little added pizazz.

Now, where to put those pretty blooms? The Nordic Lacey plate was a good fit. I kept it simple using white cardstock.
The Happy Birthday Poe Script sentiment was cut from MB patterned paper then added on the diagonal. This left me plenty of room to frame it with the flowers and leaves.

I love the depth and dimension you can get by layering these die cut petals and the leaves are pretty fabulous too. My husbands youngest sister has a birthday next month. I think we'll hand deliver this one instead of letting it get flattened in the mail!

Nordic Floral Butterfly by Birgit Norton

Good morning Poppystamps crafters!  Birgit here with you, fluttering by today to share this card I made using Nordic Floral Butterfly.  What a beautifully detailed butterfly, right?  Let's jump right in and I'll show how this card came together.

I started by cutting all the elements of the Nordic Floral Butterfly out of the Delicate Pastel Glitter Pad, Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad and Lagoon 6x6 Cardstock Pad.  Because the Nordic Floral Butterfly die cuts all the pieces out at once, I had enough to create three butterflies.  I layered each of the butterflies, alternating the cardstocks and used one on today's project, leaving me with two more butterflies for future projects.  Win! Win!

To make the background, I cut the Circling Frame out of a piece of blue cardstock from the Lagoon 6x6 Cardstock Pad and laid it over a sheet of the same color, giving me a nice textured but cohesive background.

I adhered the butterfly to the center of the card front and added a Thank You Greeting Tab for the sentiment.  Easy peasy and oh, so pretty!

Let's Celebrate by Allison Frazier

Hello, Poppystamps friends! These adorable pandas are here to wish all of our American friends a happy 4th of July! And for all of our other friends, this card would be perfect for any other happy occasion, such as a birthday or graduation. The main star of the show here is the Whittle Panda Pickup Kit. But, I did pull in several other products to complete my scene.

I knew that I would have plenty of red with the truck and plenty of white with the pandas, so to pull in the blue color, I used the Cortina Pinpoint Plate. I glued the resulting blue panel onto a white A2 card base. Next, I took the biggest die from the Double Scalloped Stitched Frames set and centered it on an A2 sized piece of white card stock. I put the resulting frames away for future use and used the negative piece to frame my scene. 

I cut all the pieces for the truck from red and a few shades of gray card stock. I added shading to the truck with red ink and a little bit of shading to the middle of the tires with black ink. I assembled the truck with glue and then added some white gel pen highlights. I did get creative with the door handle by cutting a piece of gray card stock using the end of one of the bamboo branches. I colored the scored area of the door handle that the truck die created with a black marker and then adhered my "handle" - the black underneath gives the look of dimension. I added some thick foam tape on the back of the truck and adhered it to the card base. I stamped and die cut the sentiment using the Birthday Banners set and adhered the banner to the truck with glue.

For the pandas, I cut layers of black and white card stock and got busy fussy cutting and layering. I used my craft knife to cut things like the eyes from the black layers. In some cases, such as the head, I would layer white over black layers. In other cases, such as the feet on the little guy on top of the truck, I would layer black over white layers. For eyes, I wanted to make it easy and just use tiny round die cuts. I found what I needed with one of the large flowers from the Nordic Blooms set. That particular flower has holes around the edges, and the little white pieces that came out of those holes when I die cut it are now the eyeballs on the pandas! I just added a black center to the eyes with a marker. For the nose, I used a long-forgotten product from my stash - black Enamel Accents. This gives a shiny, dimensional nose to the pandas. 

I put foam tape on the back of two of the pandas and put one on the roof and one inside the car. I glued the other one in the back of the truck. Having foam tape on the back of the truck enabled me to tuck these guys inside. I cut the balloons from the kit itself and put foam tape on the back of those, as well. I used some black embroidery floss for the balloon strings and glued those to the back of the balloons and the back of the pandas' hands. The only thing left to do was to add some stars to the sky! I found those in the Whittle Rainbow Unicorn Kit.

I am really pleased with how this card turned out. Although I had the holiday in mind when I picked the colors, I think this would make a fun birthday card for a boy...or girl! I hope this card brings a smile to your face. Thanks for joining us today!

Hot Foiling Galore and Christmas in July! by Sphoorti

 

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

It's Sphoorti again, and today I have four cards to show you, each created using hot foiling techniques. These were made almost two years ago—time flies! I completely forgot to write a blog post about them. While some of the products I used have been retired, there are still some adorable ones available. Grab 'em before they disappear!

Also, there are some Poppystamps products that look/feel similar to some of those retired products, so I'll provide links to those in case you'd like to get them. Scroll down to the supplies section at the bottom for the full list.

 

Backgrounds:

 

Let's start with the backgrounds. For my first and favorite card, I hot foiled some white card stock using the Leaf and Tendril Hot Foil Plate using some Opal foil. This stuff is magic! For the other three - did you know you can hot foil with your existing dies? I used the 2489 Snowflake Background craft die to foil ink blended cardstock. The result was this thin but beautiful outline of the snowflakes.

Card Components:

 

I did a ton of diecutting for these cards, and I even have leftovers to create more! Essentially, I used dies to cut out envelopes, pine needles, poinsettias, and holly leaves. The envelopes were cut from vellum, while the other components were cut from white cardstock and colored using distress inks, or from glitter and foil pads (listed in the supplies section). Then came the fun part—at least for me—assembly! It was incredibly enjoyable arranging the needles, leaves, and flowers as if they were emerging from the envelopes.

Sentiments:

 

I also did plenty of diecutting for the sentiments. I used sentiment dies like Hello and Joy, although they are no longer available. You can find similar options linked in the supplies list below. Essentially, I cut multiple versions of each sentiment from plain white cardstock and layered them to achieve a chipboard-like effect. I finished off the sentiments with a layer of glitter or foil. For the shadows on the Joy cards, I used vellum.

Embellishments:

 

Can we ever call a card complete without some embellishments? I went wild with all the goodies I had on my desk at the time—Jewels, Drops, Pearls, Crystals... you name it! It was like a bling buffet for my cards, and it was the holidays, so why not make every card feel like a celebration, right?

See You Later, Alligator by Allison Frazier

Hello, Poppystamps friends! Today, I am sharing this adorable card featuring the new Whittle Tropical Gator Kit. Although this kit can be used all on its own, I thought it would be fun to incorporate some other Poppystamps goodies.

I love plaid paper, and I also love how the Double Diamond Lattice Plate lines up with the diagonal lines of this particular plaid. I pulled this plaid from an older Memory Box pad called "Madras Plaid Blue and Violet". There are some very similar blue and green diagonal plaid patterns in the newer "Anemone Plaid" paper pad. I simply cut a piece of the plaid paper to 4.25" x 5.5" and glued it to a white A2 card base. I then layered two of the Double Diamond Lattice die cuts (using white card stock) on top.

I used the alligator die from the kit to cut some green card stock, and then I added some shading with a darker green ink. I also added the teeth, of course! The same die cuts the other two alligators, as well, so those little guys are waiting to be added to a future card.

I cut the tree trunk and coconuts from two different shades of brown card stock. I cut the branches from green card stock, again adding shading with some green ink. I assembled the tree with some liquid glue. I like leaving the ends of branches and leaves loose, as that creates the look of dimension. But, I did double up the very top branch (on the lower left) just to add some actual dimension.

To separate my simple scene from the plaid background, I used the Double Scalloped Stitched Frames, which I cut from white card stock. I used the middle size frame from this set. I cut a piece of blue card stock to fit behind my frame, and I stamped the "Later, Gator" sentiment from the kit. This stamp is actually the full sentiment on one line, so I did partial stamping in order to get the words onto two separate lines. I stamped with VersaMark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. I then glued this blue panel onto the back of the scalloped frame. Once that was done, I popped it up on my card base with foam tape and glued the tree and gator on top. I love how the gator's tail wraps around the tree!

I am really pleased with how this card turned out. I actually made this for my son to open on his way to summer camp, so the sentiment was just perfect! I hope this card brings a smile to your face. Thanks for joining us today!

A Floral Birthday by Rachel Duong

Hi there! The sun is shining and it's Rachel here to share a sunny, floral, happy birthday! I love the bright citrus background and the nod to van Gogh colors (for the flowers). I used the Poppystamps "Nordic Flower Pots and Stems" and the "Nordic Flower Heads" dies. I must say they are fabulous and a joy to create with.

I began with a lime background from the Memory Box "Lush Green Collection" paper pad. I die cut the Poppystamps "Circling Frame" background die in yellow from the Memory Box "Sunny Orange" paper pad. I adhered these pieces together.

Next I chose orange, yellow and blue glitter paper for the flower heads. I played around with layering the pieces. I also watercolored some layers in orange, red and crimson. I die cut the stems in yellow and used a bright green to paint the leaves. For the pots I used orange cardstock as a base. I painted over them many times with browns, rusts, teal and white. I was going for a weathered look.

After adhering the individual pieces together, I used burlap twine to wrap around the pots. A bow in the middle, a knot on the right and a double wrap on the left pot adds a little texture. 

These are the Poppystamps supplies I used. The flower heads can be layered in so many ways, it is fun to come up with variations!

I glued the middle flower and stem to the cardfront first. Next I popped up the pot with foam squares. I repeated this with the other two pots slightly overlapping the one on the right.

The sentiment is from the Open Studio "Greeting Tabs". These are extra thick, gold foiled, black tabs. Before gluing it down, I placed two leaves under the sentiment and then a small blossom is glued on the empty space of the sentiment. Finally, Open Studio "Fairy Jewels" in coordinating colors  complete the card!

This palette of bright, bold colors is summer at it's finest! A card like this makes me so happy. It is full of energy and excitement. When you get the chance, take a look at these awesome Poppystamps dies. The links are below. Have a gorgeous day!
