Birthday Panda-Moniumby Candice Crawford

Hi there crafty friends, Candice here on the blog sharing a card with you today using products from the Poppystamps new release. The new Whittle Panda Pickup Kit is super cute. This die set creates a cute scene of pandas with a truck and wagon carrying birthday balloons and bamboo. 

For my card, I paired the whittle panda and ballons from the kit with the top layer of the Floral Cake Pop-Up Easel set. I also used the Layer Cake Drip Icing die to create the chocolate icing on the cake. The candles also come the Floral Cake Pop-Up Easel set. 

To add a bit of texture to the cake I used the Pinpoint Half Ring Plate. This background plate pairs so well with the cake layer.  For the sentiment on the card I used the Birthday Panad-Monium title which I stamps and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment comes from the coordinating stamp set in the kit. 

For added dimension layers on the card I used the Scalloped Stitch Frames die, which I die cut twice from pink cardstock then teal cardstock and layered the stitched frame inside the scallop frame. I hope you have enjoyed today's card share and found inspiration. Until next time Happy Crafting.

Layered Tulips by Candice Crawford

Hi there crafty friends, Candice here on the blog sharing a card with you today using products from the Poppystamps new release. The new Layered Tulips dies is so stunning. This die set creates three lovely tulips with layers to the petals and varying lengths to the stems. 

In addition to the new Layered Tulips dies set, I also used the new Pointy Lattice Plate for the background of my card that die cut from white cardstock. I also used the new Modest Banner Greeting foil and cut die set for the sentiment on the card. This die cut is super cool as it creates 5 folied sentiments with one pass of the die cut machine. The die set comes with a coordinating die for you to cut the sentiments out as a wavy banner. 

To create a scene for te he layered tulips, I created a hilliside border for the flowers with the Poppystamps Hill and Valley Grass Border die that is unfortunately discontinued.  To make the tulips look a bit more realistic I added some leaves to the stems  of the tulips with the Graceful Heart Frame die. The leaves from this heart die set were die cut from green cardstock and added to the tulips. 

I am a huge advocate for combining  dies and looking for nontraditional ways them to can create cards. In my opinion this card is stunning and filled with tons of layers. I hope you enjoyed today's card share and found inspiration. Until next time....happy crafting.

Floral Vase by Candice Crawford

 

Hey there crafty friends! Candice here on the blog again sharing another card project. Today's card features the new Floral Vase Pop Up Easel set. Poppystamps has released another Pop-up easel card and this one is absolutely stunning. With all Pop-up easel sets, you can create cards as the die is intended or you can use the die as just a focal image on the card as I did with my card today. 

In addition to using the Floral Vase Pop Up Easel set. I also used the new Teardrop Butterflies die, the Evangeline Pinpoint Frame die for my background and the You are amazing Poe Script Greeting Hot foil plate for my sentiment. The combination of the products work so well together. They create several layers of dimension on my card design. 

The floral vase die set comes with 11 dies to create the vase and several layered flowers. I die cut the flowers, leaves and stems from several pieces of scrap cardstock in various shades of pink, green and yellow. The butterflies were die cut from gold mirror cardstock and I used my Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass to add a bit of blue shading behind the florals to make them pop!

To add a bit of dimension to the background, I added some light gray cardstock to peak though the floral petals of the Evangeline Pinpoint Frame. The sentiment was created using some gold hot foil from my stash and my Go Press and Foil machine.  I love the way this card came out and I absolutely adore the new Floral Vase Pop Up Easel set.  The vase is so versatile and can be used or any occasion. Fun tip! The vase die just by itself is large enough to make a focal image on  a 5x7 card. So if you ever wanted to try your hand at making 5x7 cards, this die set would be perfect.  

I hope you have enjoyed today's card share and found inspiration. Until next time....Happy Crafting.

Thinking of You by Candice Crawford

 

Hey there crafty friends! Did you know Valentine's Day is Valentine's Day is in 16 days.  Have you started making your Valentine's Day cards? 

Well if you are a bit behind in your card making, today's project share should help inspire you to crafting.  My card today features several new dies from the latest release.

I am using the Vintage Scallop Heart die, the Sending Love Poe Script along with the Criss Cross Heart Foil Plate. If you have not tried hot foiling on your cards, I strongly recommend doing so. The level of embossed shine that comes from the hot foil is absolutely stunning. 

To create the background of my card, I ink blended Distress Oxide inks in Spun Sugar, Abandon Coral and Age Mahogany on to my A2 size card front.  Then with silver hot foil I added the Criss Cross Heart image to the card. 

Lastly I die cut the sentiment Sending Love from white card stock 3 times and layered them together for added dimension. This card was very simple to make and can easily be massed produced.  I hope you have enjoyed today's cardsharp and found inspiration.  Until next time.....Happy Crafting.
