Flower and Leaf Sprinkles by Sphoorti

 

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

Hi, it's Sphoorti! I'm excited to share the first card in a new series I'm working on. If you've seen my earlier posts, you know how much I love the Flower and Leaf Sprinkles die set. It creates so many beautiful floral elements that can be used in countless ways! Combined with watercolor card stock and Nuvo Shimmer powders like Green Parade, Atlantis Burst, Violet Brocade, and Lilac Waterfall, it results in a delightful collection of floral cards. Here's the first one!

 

 

First, I prepared some panels of watercolor cardstock, soaked them with water, and generously sprinkled the Nuvo Shimmer Powders mentioned earlier. Once they were dry, I used the Flowers and Leaf Sprinkles die set to cut them. You can also use leaves and foliage from various other Poppystamps products, which I've linked in the supplies section below.

 

 

Next, I took white cardstock panels and cut out some scalloped frames, aiming to create double borders along the top and bottom of the card. I adhered these with foam tape for added dimension, then attached the leaves and foliage die cuts along the scalloped frames. Additionally, I cut some leaves from vellum and scattered them among the leafy die cuts.

 

 

For the sentiment, I used a silver hot-foiled "Sending Hugs" from the Modest Greetings set, mounting it in the center of the card with foam tape. To add a touch of sparkle, I cut thin strips of silver glitter cardstock and adhered them on top of the scalloped borders. And that completes the card!

A Ray Of Sunshine by Birgit Norton

Good morning crafty friends!  I just love the warmth the sunshine brings and today's card is full of sunshine just for you.  This card meets the requirement for the current challenge "Good Day Sunshine" too.  Double win!  Let's jump right in on how this card came together.

Using the Potpourri Flower Set, I cut several sets of flowers from some warm toned scraps I had in my scrap box.

In keeping with the sunshine theme, I cut the largest Double Scalloped Stitched Frame out of soft yellow cardstock from the Sunrise 6x6 cardstock pack and the medium sized frame from white cardstock. 

I used a heat embossed sentiment from Diamond Sentiments and cut it using a circle die and then layered it onto a Brilliant Ring cut out of a darker shade of yellow from the Sunrise pack. 

I layered the frames onto a piece of printed paper from the Gladiola 6x6 pack of paper and attached the circle sentiment and added the flowers, finishing the centers off with Fairy Jewels.  A warm and encouraging card to send to a friend.

Flowers and Stripes! by Sphoorti

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

It’s Sphoorti here, and today I’ve got a double treat for you! Inspired by the fabulous Laura Bassen, I decided to “strip it up”, as she puts it, with some colorful card panels. For both of these cards, I  cut out a bunch of vibrant strips and adhered them adjacently to create a thick stripe to add some interest to the background.

• 

 

 

If you’re following me on Instagram (@stampallthethings and @lettersandlaughter), you might know that I’m a huge fan of wax seals—I’ve been obsessed for years. I took a little break when I ran out of ideas, but the moment I saw PoppyStamps' Vase Easel die, I was back at it, like an 80's kid who just rediscovered their Nintendo 64!

 

 

• 
• 

 

 

For my first card, I played around with glitter, foil, and regular cardstock to create a mix of strips. I then added the bouquet die from the Easel die set, which I distress inked in various shades of green. To give it a little extra sparkle, I used a sticky glue pen to dab some glue around the bouquet and, once it dried, added a touch of foil for a shimmering finish. I topped it off with a vellum wax seal

 

 

• 
• 

 

 

For the second card, I used random colors of strips, and instead of a distress inked die cut, I used silver foil cardstock to cut the bouquet. I distress inked some flowers and adhered them at various areas of the bouquet. I topped this bouquet off with a clear wax seal that I sprinkled glitter on, and foiled little dots around it with the Quickie glue pen. For the sentiments, I used some foiled ones from the Modest Greetings set and that was it!

Floral Frenzy by Sphoorti

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

Sphoorti here, back with a floral card because those never go out of style!

 

 

 

I started by distress-inking some cardstock in Blueprint Sketch and Picked Raspberry. Then I die-cut numerous flowers and foliage from various die sets from the distressed panels. I've linked a number of floral die sets in the Supplies list below. It doesn't matter which ones you use, you just need a whole bunch of flowers and leaves.

 

 

 

Then came the tedious part, i.e. foam mounting the flowers and leaves. This took a little bit of time, but it was totally worth it. I adhered the foam mounted flowers and leaves on a card base and also scattered some clear jewels in the gaps. I topped the flowers with some pearls.

 

 

 

For the sentiment, I used the PSF804 You Are Amazing Poe Script Greetings Hot Foil Plate and Dies to hot foil the Thinking of you sentiment. I centered and glued sentiment. It looked somewhat incomplete to me, so I cut a frame from a silver cardstock using the 2474 Double Scalloped Stitched Frames craft die and adhered it around the sentiment.

 

 

 

What do you think? Please do let me know in the comments below! Have a great week ahead!

Love,

Sphoorti

Corner Shop Pop-Up Easel Card by Birgit Norton

I would love to live in a world where the streets are lined with darling shops like this!  Wouldn't you?  Birgit here with you today sharing a pop-up easel card using Corner Shoppe Pop-up Easel Set as well as coordinating die sets from the latest release.  Let's jump right in to the details!

To begin with, I cut the pop-up die panel out of 80# white cardstock and folded on both of the score lines, to create the easel part of the card.

Next, cut one card front panel and adhere it to the small flap of the easel, using a strong double sided tape or liquid glue.  Now, let the fun begin!  Let's build the shop.

I cut the store front out of a piece of blue cardstock from the 6x6 Lagoon Solid Core Cardstock.  I love the weight and thickness of this cardstock and it cuts like butter using Poppystamps dies.  

I cut the detail pieces of the shop out of white cardstock and added color using Distress inks and blending brushes.  A helpful tip:  keep your cardstock pieces inside the dies, to use them as stencils.  Poppystamps is brilliant in their designs!  

Next, I cut elements from Corner Shoppe Wooden Cart and Flower and Leaf Sprinkles and colored them using my copic markers.  I then arranged all of the planters using liquid glue. 

Now it's time to decorate the shop!  

A card like this deserves special attention on the inside, so I added a piece of decorative paper from my scrap bin and cut a white cardstock square to give the easel something to rest against to hold the easel open.  For a finishing touch, I added the window box from the set.  It adds a nice detail but leaves plenty of space for me to personalize this beautiful card.  

Here's a pictures that shows the completed easel card in action.

I had so much fun building this flower shop easel card!  I hope you'll give it a try!

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.
