A Moose Celebration by Rachel Duong

Hi to all! It's Rachel here with an a-M00se-ing Poppystamps card.  I am super excited about this Nordic Wonderland release... I just love it!  The "Nordic Moose" die I used is great on its own and also comes with a sweater for the winter months.  I skipped it for now since I wanted my card to throw out summer vibes.

To create this card I die cut all the pieces out of  the Poppystamps  "Large Mushroom House", the "Nordic Dimple Trees" and the "Nordic Moose". 

I loosely painted the pieces in bright, bold hues. I used Prang watercolor paints. After they were dry, I glued them together to form the images. 

Using white woodgrain paper, I ink blended brown and teal distress inks over the surface. (listed below) Teal in the center and brown tones around the perimeter. I glued the woodgrain paper to a kraft cardbase and then the images to the cardfront. Because they are overlapping, some of the pieces required extra cardstock underneath areas where the image was not level. 

Also I gave the moose extra layers to reinforce the legs and antlers. This definitely gave it a stronger appearance. This is what it looks like underneath. 

Finally I stamped the sentiments-- "It's Your Day " in brown and "Let's Celebrate" in teal. I watercolored the latter. I glued them down allowing parts of the banners to stay lifted off the paper. 

This card was so much fun to create. I hope you enjoyed it. If you are not fond of watercoloring, this card can be made with solid sheets of colored cardstock.

Please take a look at the new Poppystamps release. It is fantastical and filled with nature's treasures! You won't be disappointed. Thanks for stopping by, see you very soon.

Bird Wishes by Rachel Duong

Hi everyone! It's Rachel here sharing a beautiful floral and fauna wedding card with you. I used Poppystamps "Nordic Majestic Bloom" die set and painted the images with metallic paints.

To create this card, I die cut the "Nordic Majestic Bloom" set with watercolor paper. I die cut the birds three times for three sets of birds. I watercolored the pieces and then added a layer of pearl metallic paints. 

The metallic shine is perfect for a wedding card. 
Next I stamped the sentiment and die cut it out. I watercolored over it too. 

Then I die cut the largest frame from the "Doubled Scalloped Stitched Frames"out of Ivory card stock. I assebled and glued it all down on white cardstock. 

Painting these birds were was fun creating color combinations. 

I hope you love this card as much as I do. The layer of metallic paint really gives this Poppystamps wedding card a special shine.

That's all for now. Until next time, have a wonderful day!

Rachel

Challenge Reminder: It's Cake Time by Rachel Duong

Hi Crafty Friends! It's Rachel here to remind you about our Poppystamps monthly card challenge. The theme is "Take The Cake". Create a project (it doesn't need to be a card) in theme and use at least one Poppystamps item. Link it up and that's it!

The Poppystamps "Corner Shoppe Birthday Celebrations" die set is absolutely awesome, timeless and can be used over and over. The sentiments are just perfect and have wavy and straight words and coordinating dies! The Memory Box paper pack "Glimmering Gladiola" gorgeous and beautiful have shades of red, orange, yellow and purple on both sides. 

To create this card I chose a patterned paper and adhered it to a white card base. Next I cut a square piece of watercolor paper and washed a loose background of blue. I die cut the pieces from the Poppystamps "Corner Shoppe Birthday Celebrations" set. Using similar colors from the patterned paper, I painted the pieces. I stamped the sentiment from the Poppystamps Birthday Banners" clear set on watercolor paper for consistency. I die cut it out. 

I adhered the composition down and added a fine border using the same watercolor paper. I glued the second set of ice cream cones under the first one for extra dimension. Finally, I adhered it to the patterned background and that's it!

That's it for now! I hope you are inspired and plan to join the challenge. You have all month to get crafty. Have a wonderful day and keep on crafting!

Flower Cart by Tricia Barber

Hello! Tricia here with you today sharing a card that I made with the Corner Shoppe release.  I used the new Corner Shoppe Wooden Cart die set along with Flower and Leaf Sprinkles die set.  I love this vintage inspired flower cart.  The Flower and Leaf Sprinkle die set is so adorable with the cute tiny flowers.  So much fun to create! I used the die to die cut several different colors of cardstock.  Now I have plenty to use for future cards! 

I created a focal point with the Scallop Pinpoint Rings. I layered this onto a panel of light orange vellum.  I love using vellum on my cards.  It softens the look of the cardstock and I layered a lacy panel underneath.  It is hard to see in the photo but in real life it adds just a little extra to the card panel! 

I finished off the card panel with some fairy jewels.  I added a foiled sentiment using the Modest Greetings 1 Hot Foil Plate and Die.  I hope you have a wonderful and crafty day!

Wedding Cards using the Nordic Border Craft Die Set by Sphoorti

 

 

 

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

 

Remember the card I made a few weeks ago? The Delicate Lace Card using the Nordic Border die set? Well, as usual - since I had the supplies out already, I cut out a lot more than I actually needed. And I figured, since these have the wedding vibe, why not make a wedding card? So, here I am with two wedding easel cards using the lacy goodness from the Nordic Border die set!

 

 

• 
• 

 

 

The prep work for this was pretty much the exact same as the Delicate Lace Card. The only difference is, once I had a panel with a number of rows of the border die cuts, I ran them through the die cutting machine again using the top tier and bottom tier cake dies from the 2469 Floral Cake Pop Up Easel craft die. The panel I had was very long enough for me to squeeze two top tiers and one bottom tier, so I figured I'd make two cake cards. I used some pattern paper with flock on it for the bottom tier of the gold cake card.

 

 

• 
• 

 

 

I couldn't make up my mind on the gold glitter card stock and the silver, so I figured I'd make one of each. I cut the glitter card stock from the GP1006 Festive Glitter Pad using the 2466 Layer Cake Drip Icing craft die for the icing on the cakes.

 

 

• 
• 
• 
• 

 

 

For the sentiment, I utilized the 2555 Sending Love Poe Script craft die. I cut some with the same glitter card stock that I used for the icing. However, to add a splash of color, I also cut some from festive green and festive red glitter card stock from the same pad. These colors happen to be the favorites and/or birthstone colors of my cousins and their fiancés, so it seemed like the perfect choice!

 

 

• 
• 
• 
• 

 

 

The rest of the card came together pretty much the same way as the other easel cards that the design team has made in the past. I had the hearts left over from the sentiment die cuts, so I used those on the inside as stoppers.

 

 

•

I couldn't help but take a whole bunch of pictures of these, so enjoy these scrolling gallery of pictures!

Amazing You! by Rachel Duong

Hi friends, it's Rachel! I'm here with a new Poppystamps challenge. The theme is "Old School". Create a project using at least one Poppystamps die. Link it up and one lucky random winner will receive a prize. Florals are timeless and classic, so I am sharing a themed card using the beautiful "Perfect Posies Bouquet" die.

To create this card I die cut the Poppystamps "Perfect Posies Bouquet" and the "Teardrop Butterflies" dies in a sturdy white cardstock. I die cut the butterflies again using the Memory Box "Delicate Pastel Glitter Pad". Next I blended blue, green and teal distress ink over the bouquet. For dimensional effects, I doubled up some of the blossoms. For sparkle, I applied glitter glue to the blossom centers and petals. I chose a deep blue card base from the Memory Box "Ocean Blue" collection. A hot foil sentiment from the "Modest Banner Greetings" set adds a fresh silver accent. White splatters fill in empty space. Finally, an "Old School" sheer, organza ribbon finishes the card.

These are some of the supplies I used. 

Do you use organza ribbon on your cards? I remember the first time I was introduced to cardmaking, organza ribbon was often used. It is so delicate, soft and pretty enhancing many styles of cards.

I hope you get a chance to take part in this challenge. And by the way, with the start of a new school year, why not give your "Old School" card to a favorite teacher to tell them how amazing they are?! Have fun and don't forget to link your card up.

Take card and happy crafting~

Rachel
