Birdhouse Thank You by Marybeth Lopez

 

Hello there ! Today I used the darling , Poppystamps : Bird House Pop Up Easel Die  Set. I only used the birdhouse today for my card within the Easel. Such a fun set and can be used in so many ways.

This is another fun die  from Poppystamps that can be used anytime of year for any occasions.

I cut a few of the birdhouses out of fabric to appliqué on a quilt . I didn't  use it on this card today but I wanted to show you just how nicely these dies cut fabric. I just added my metal shim for a clean cut.

To make the extra trim on the lower edge of the birdhouse I cut it out twice , just turned the die around to cut again, as pictured above.

I used some of the beautiful, 6 x 6 patterned paper packs from : memory box . All the paper is linked below in the supply list.

 

Such a fun die... again with many possibilities. I hope you are all doing ok in these trying times. 

God bless you all.

Now is your time to Bloom. by Pam Simpson

Hello everyone, I know we are all having a tough time with this virus, seems like it will never end! I hope you are all well and staying safe. What would we do with our crafts to occupier our hands and minds. with that thought, I`m sharing a card ..I think the theme on this card could be either a Male or Female! do you agree.

This month Poppystamps is teaming up with Rinea to show you how great our products work together.  Rinea makes beautiful foil for all your craft projects.  The foil is really unique because the foil is on BOTH sides of the card stock base.  This means that you'll find a different color or textured pattern on either side of the foil sheet.

I cut the foil with Poppystamps "Grand Watering Can" left the die in place and used a permanent marker to add black details .

 Die removed showing the black details.

The wheel of the "Country Garden Barrow" cut with the same foil and added some black pen to this.  The card base..I have shaded with a light blue ink..My "Hills and Valley Grass Border" cut in green card, Picket fence white card, brown for the Wheel barrow , this I have filled with Poppystamps "Dandelion Stem flowers cut up and  Garden Leaves..finished with Whittle Birds/clouds.. finishing touch I used Glossy accents to create water coming out of the can. Sentiment from Birch Press Designs. " Spring Time Fun".

I hope you'll give Rinea foil a try! It's really like no other foil I've ever used and really wonderful for 3D projects..

Thank you for stopping by and stay safe everyone..Pam x

Blog Blitz Window Christmas Card by Nadine Carlier

Hello! Nadine here with a window Christmas card I created for the Poppystamps Winter/Holiday Blog Blitz.  I used several of the new 2019 Holiday release dies on my card.  Make sure to scroll to the bottom of my post to see how you can WIN the Cottage Window die that I used on my card.

To create the background, I ran a brown ink over a woodgrain embossing folder and then embossed a tan piece of cardstock. Then I die cut out the Cottage Window in brown cardstock, added some foam tape to the back of the window frame and attached a piece of white cardstock and then more foam tape to the back and adhered it to the front of my card. The shutters of the window I added some foam tape and slide them behind the frame of the window. 

I die cut out the dove from the Dove and Olive Branch and two of Holiday Mistletoes from white cardstock. Then colored the mistletoes with some Copic markers and airbrushed some light grey Copic onto the dove. The olive branch from the Dove and Olive Branch, I cut several times using green cardstock.  The Christmas Tree in the window, I cut out using the Whittle Trees die that is from the 2018 Holiday release.

And now the part you've been waiting for.  The prize for today is the Cottage Window Die.

And here are all the details of the event....

Party Animal Card by Nadine Carlier

Hello there Poppystamps fans! Nadine here and I am sharing a fun party animal card with you today.  When I was trying to figure out what to make I saw this scrap piece of burlap sitting on my table and I immediately thought it would make a fun background for the cute Poppystamps Whittle animal dies.  I have never used burlap on a card like this before, it was pretty easy to do I just cut it into a square and adhered it down.

I die cut out the Weeping Willow Branch in dark green cardstock and adhered it to top of the card over the burlap.  For the Whittle Monkey, I die cut him out in dark brown cardstock and also a beige cardstock, cut out his face, tummy, and ears from the beige cardstock and adhered them to the dark brown. Then I wrapped his tail around the vine of the Weeping Willow.

For the Whittle Lion and the Whittle Tiger, I cut them both out in yellow-orange color cardstock and used my Copic markers to color them in a little.  The Whittle Tiger I decided to have her sit on the larger of the two Whittle Mounds.

I then cut out the Whittle Oval Wood Frames, once using dark brown cardstock and again using white cardstock.  I used the dark brown for the frame itself and used the inner part from the white to stamp the sentiment "Have Fun You Party Animal" from the Whittle Everyday Stamp Set.  Then die cut some of the Cheery Cardinals and adhered them around the frame on the Weeping Willow Branch.

After I adhered all the Whittle Animals on my card I felt it still needed a little more so got out my airbrush machine and airbrushed on some Copics on the burlap, animals, and sentiment.  Then my card was complete! 

Thank you so much for stopping by and happy crafting!
