Thankful For You by Lisa Elton

As much as I hate to see summer coming to an end, I think September is a beautiful month and I do love the fall season. I love making fall cards too! To celebrate that, I decided to create a playful card featuring our Dancing Gnome in a fall setting.

First up was his outfit. I dressed him up in warm golden and brown tones. These little fellas are a snap to dress using some of those many scraps of cardstock we all have! His beard was cut from white with touches of gray added for shading. Copic Markers were used for his face and I gave him pretty green eyes.

He's dancing about in the autumn leaves in his corduroy britches! I cut several leaves and little acorns using plaid papers from the Memory Box Gladiola Plaid paper pad.

The hill he's on was made using a die from the Lavish Border set. One of our Sentimental Banners was the perfect fit. A wash of light blue inking was added to the card base before creating my scene.

And there you have it, friends. A playful card to let someone know that I'm thankful for them. By the way, I'm thankful for you too! Happy Autumn!

Warmest Wishes by Tricia Barber

Hello! Tricia here with you today. I am sharing a wintery card using the new Nordic Wonderland release!  I am sharing the new Nordic Forest Gnome and Large Mushroom House.   How cute is this gnome? He looks like Santa to me!  I love working with die cuts and adding details with a mix of markers and ink blending.  I started out by trimming a card panel using some patterned paper from the Yuletide Plaid paper pack.  I ink blended onto the top of the panel with dark blue ink.  I trimmed the panel done to 4 by 5.25 inches.  

I die cut the Nordic Forest Gnome and Large Mushroom House from colored cardstock.  I used a small blender brush and added ink to the edges.  For the Gnomes face, I used my alcohol markers.  I added some additional details with a white gel pen.   The grassy border was made with the new Nordic Wintertide Border set.  

To add to the wintery scene, I die cut a Wide Pine Needle Shoots tree from several different colors of green cardstock.  I stamped a greeting from the Holiday Banners Clear stamp and die set.  I finished off the card with some Christmas Fairy Jewels.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Winter Greetings by Allison Frazier

Hello, Poppystamps friends! I am so excited to share this card today because it features several products from the brand new Nordic Wonderland Collection! I am just in love with these new products. July is normally the time when I start building up my holiday card stash, so the timing of this collection was perfect. The hardest part of making this card was having to choose which products to use - I can't wait to use them all!

I started my card by assembling the adorable Nordic Playful Penguin. He is so cute, right?? I love everything about him, but my favorite part is probably the hat. I used three different shades of turquoise card stock for his clothing. There are two dies in this set. One cuts the penguin parts, and the other cuts the clothing. You can cut it all from white card stock and then color the pieces with ink or markers. I did color the feet and nose with a Copic marker, but otherwise, I cut all the pieces from colored card stock. 

I started assembling the card by glueing a panel of patterned paper onto a white card base. This paper comes from the new Yuletide Cheer paper pack from Memory Box. I used two dies from the Nordic Wintertide Border to create a white field of snow for the bottom of the card. I glued white card stock behind this border, which has cutouts. I love the tone on tone texture this gives! I used the new Nordic Treeline to add to my scene. These trees are so adorable - the tops of the trees look like they're smiling! I glued the trees behind the Nordic Wintertide Border and then adhered all of it down to the card base.

For my sentiment, I used the new Holiday Banners stamp and die set. I heat embossed the sentiment onto black cardstock with white embossing powder. I cut it out with the matching die and then popped it up on thin foam squares. To finish the card, I added a little bit of snow at the top. I created the "snow" using some of the cutout pieces from the Nordic Wintertide Border. The little star shape comes from the Flower and Leaf Sprinkles set. 

I love how this card turned out. That penguin has my heart, and so does this new collection. Be sure to check out all of the new goodies! I hope this card brings a smile to your face. Thanks for joining us today!

Geranium Gatefold & Challenge Reminder by Birgit Norton

Good morning Poppystamps friends!  Birgit here with you today sharing a card to remind you of the current challenge that's going on right now, themed "Bloom Where You're Planted".

I enjoyed bringing out some older dies that are still available in the store, hoping to inspire you to pull out those older supplies and use them.  

For my card, I brought out Brilliant Geraniums Flower Set and Picket Tall Curve Borders. 

I cut the flowers out of Blush 6x6 Solid Core cardstock and the leaves out of Greenery 6x6 Solid Core cardstock.  I added colored details and depth using copic markers.   I added sugared glitter to the outside edge of the flower petals and added Fairy Jewels to the centers of each of the flowers.

On each of the gatefold flaps, I added a piece of cardstock from the Greenery 6x6 Solid Core cardstock and cut the Picket Tall Curve Borders out of the same color, adding them to both flaps.  This gives the look of a garden trellis in the background.  I added a white cardstock oval, gluing it to the left flap and adhered the geraniums, covering the oval.  

I so enjoyed bringing out the tried and true dies that never go out of style for this challenge.  These geraniums are gorgeous in any color and they're so easy to assemble.   I hope I've inspired you today with this lovely geranium card.

Want to play along? 

The rules are simple - just create a project following the theme, use at least one Poppystamps image or die, and link it up HERE at the Challenge blog. The design we love best will receive our winner badge to proudly display on their blog, and one lucky random winner will receive a prize.

Thyme For Spring by Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,
I hope this card inspires you to plant some fresh herbs and embrace your green thumb. I used Poppy Stamps Flower Pots and Stems to create these cute little herb pots.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you grow herbs? Which ones?
A: Me? No, but my sister grows a ton of basil and rosemary

I started my card by creating the background using Poppy Stamps Criss Cross Heart Stencil with Distress Oxide Mowed Lawn Ink and splattered with green and white paint.

I mounted the Poppy Stamps Scalloped Stitched Frames in two different shades of green cardstock and then mounted the entire background on a kraft cardstock card base.
I layered the cute flower pots with just the leaf dies to look like herbs in the center of my card and finished with the darling sentiments from the Poppy Stamps Spring Banner Stamps & Dies.

Corner Shop Wooden Cart by Birgit Norton

Hello there Poppystamps friends, Birgit here with you today to share this sweet card featuring the Corner Shoppe Wooden Cart and Flower and Leaf Sprinkles from the latest release.

To begin with, here is a list of dies I chose to use in today's project.  I cut all of the elements out of #80 white cardstock.

I colored all of the elements from the Corner Shoppe Wooden Cart and Flower and Leaf Sprinkles using copic markers and then assembled them as shown here, using liquid glue.

For the background, I cut a piece of printed paper from the 6x6 Glimmering Gladiola paper stack using the Double Scalloped Stitched Frames and mounted it over a piece of coordinating cardstock from the 6x6 Lagoon Solid Core Cardstock pack.  I cut the Scalloped Pinpoint Rings out of white cardstock and blended on a bit of color using Tumbled Glass DOX ink.

Next, I glued the wooden cart and floral elements onto the Scalloped Pinpoint Rings circle.

I added the butterflies from Bunches of Butterflies using two layers, folding up the wings for added dimension.

To finish the card off, I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Banners and cut it using the coordinating straight banner die and glued it to the bottom of the card.
