Witchy Night by Tricia Barber

Happy Halloween! I created this witchy pumpkin patch using the new Spooktacular release.  I die cut the Lovable Witch, Perky Pumpkins and Cute Spiders to create this little scene.  I used all white cardstock and my alcohol markers to color the images in.  There are so many ways that you can add color! 

I added some Distress Oxide inks to the main card panel and flicked with some water.  I layered the images with a mix of foam tape and liquid adhesive. My sentiment was created with the Lavish Happy Halloween die.   

I colored the black spiders with a little bit of glitter to give them some sparkle!  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello Poppystamps peeps!  Have you been enjoying the newest release from Poppystamps?  I sure have!  I knew I wanted to use this darling Large Mushroom House first.  Let's get started and I'll show you how this card came together.

I cut the Mushroom House elements out of white, grey and red cardstock and added a bit of Distress Oxide Ink to the sides of the mushroom stem and assembled the mushroom.  I colored a scrap of vellum paper with a yellow Copic marker and adhered the vellum behind the windows and door.

I created the background for the mushroom house by blending Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Dusty Concord Distress inks and then sprinkled it with water to create watermarks for a starry sky.  I also splattered on some white paint to add clarity to the stars.

I cut the Nordic Forest Gnome out of dark blue, light blue and white cardstock and colored the face using Copic Markers and assembled the Forest Gnome with liquid glue.

I decided Mr. Gnome needed more color so I cut the hat elements out of red and white cardstock, which added just the right pop of color.  I also painted white spots onto the mushroom cap.

I think this card turned out super cute.  It reminds me of the old German and Norwegian Christmas cards from the late 1800's to the mid 1950's.

A Sunny Hello by Birgit Norton

When inspiration hits, sometimes you just have to roll with it!  That was the case with this card when I received the Whittle Bit of Fun Kits.  The idea to make a jungle inspired cake card popped into my head and here you go!    Birgit here with you today, and here's how this card came together.

I started by cutting out the Whittle Tropical Gators and Whittle Pirate Monkey's, adding color using Distress Oxide Inks and Copic Markers, then gluing the shapes together.

Next came the card base.  I cut the Floral Cake Pop-Up Easel card out of a soft blue cardstock, assembling the easel part as seen in the photo's.

I die cut the cake layers out of a solid green cardstock from the Greenery 6x6 pad  and cut the printed layer using paper from my stash.  The cake scallops were cut out of brown cardstock, as I thought they would make good vines for the monkey's to swing on.

Next, I glued the trunks of the palm trees on first so I could add the leaves in a manner that they wouldn't hang over the bottom portion of the cake, so that it would still fit in an A2 sized envelope.   I added the water die to the bottom of the cake and glued on the toothy gator and hanging the monkey's on the vines.

Next, I cut the flowers from the Floral Cake Pop-Up set out of a scrap of soft yellow cardstock and glued them together from largest to smallest, creating the layered flowers.

Once they were glued to the cake, I added Fairy Jewels to the centers to finish my card front.

For the inside of the card, I added  the cake layers in green and white, allowing space to stamp a sentiment from the Whittle Tropical Gator Kit.  The cake's frosting details and two more whittle friends finished the inside of the card off perfectly.

These easel cards are so fun to make and even more fun to give!

Whittle Tropical Gators Kit by Birgit Norton

Good morning Poppystamps friends!  These happy gators have come to the Poppystamps shop to show you their lighter side.  They're not so scary at all when they're made of paper!  I've got a clean and simple, quick and easy card for you today using this friendly trio.  Let's get started!

I started by cutting the Whittle Tropical Gator Kit elements out of scraps of colored cardstock from my scrap box.  Poppystamps has made it very easy by grouping items together so you can cut the shapes out all in one pass of your die cutting machine.

Next, I highlighted and added color using blending sponges and Distress Oxide Inks, and assembled the pieces.

I made an A2 size card base and added a panel of this heat embossed raindrop pattern to the front.  Next I glued the die cut pieces, using the cover of the dies for inspiration.

There was plenty of extra space on the front of the card to add a sentiment, so I used the Colwell Label Set to cut a layered label and stamped one of the sentiments from the Whittle Tropical Gators Kit onto the white label.

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!

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.
