Cozy Christmas Card Featuring Nordic Wonderland by Jyoti Adhikari

The holiday season is just around the corner, and what better way to kick off your Christmas crafting than with a cozy, handmade card? Today, I'm excited to share a step-by-step guide to creating a charming Christmas card using some of the latest supplies from Poppystamps. This card features a delightful brown bear, decked out in a pink winter outfit, set against a beautiful Nordic-inspired background. Let's dive into the process!

Crafting the Adorable Bear

To start, I turned my attention to the star of the card: the cute Nordic Bundled Bear. I die-cut the various pieces using the craft die and carefully assembled them to create a cozy brown bear. To give the bear a festive twist, I dressed it in a soft pink outfit that contrasts beautifully with the brown fur. The combination of colors really brings this little bear to life, making it a perfect focal point for the card.

Creating the Wintery Background 

With the bear ready, I moved on to crafting the card's background. I began by dry embossing a light blue panel using the Nordic Bloom stencil. This technique added subtle, intricate details to the background, giving it a frosty, wintery feel that complements the bear's cozy outfit. The light blue color adds a gentle, wintry atmosphere, perfect for the holiday season.

Adding Fir Trees 

To enhance the wintery scene, I added a few fir trees using the Nordic Treeline craft die. These trees were placed strategically on top of the embossed panel, creating depth and adding a touch of nature to the card. The simple yet elegant design of the trees blends seamlessly with the Nordic theme, making the scene feel complete.

Finishing Touches

No card is complete without a sentiment and a few finishing touches. I decided to frame the card by adding borders along the top and bottom edges using the Nordic Wintertide Border die. The borders tie the whole design together, giving it a polished look. For the sentiment, I chose a classic "Merry Christmas" die, cutting it from pink cardstock to match the bear's outfit. The sentiment was then placed prominently on the card, completing the festive design.

Hugs,

Jyoti

Purple Passion by Tricia Barber

Hey there!  Purple is one of those colors that you either love it or hate it!  I have developed a love for purple lately.  I love the cool tones with silver.  I used the Nordic Floral Butterfly die and cut from light to dark shades of purple. Given that I used 4 colors, I now have a few extra butterflies in my stash for a future project which is always a plus for me! I used foam tape in between the layers of the butterfly to give it some dimension.  Such a beautiful die set with all the lacey details.   

I don't have many 3D embossing folders this one is from Memory Box and is called Cheerful Floral.   I think it is beautiful.  I kept it simple by just embossing the main panel.   I did spritz my paper with some light water to keep the cardstock from cracking or tearing.  I added the butterfly with more foam tape.   I layered it onto a silver panel from the Memory Box Vintage Pastel Mirror 6x6 pad.   Then I added some white Fairy Jewels to the card for a little more sparkle. 

I finished off the card with a simple sentiment strip using the Sentimental Banners and silver embossed my sentiment.   I hope that you have wonderful crafty weekend!

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.

Celebrating Summer with Nordic Butterflies by Lisa Elton

With summer just around the corner, butterflies were calling my name. And my goodness, what pretty butterflies the Nordic variety are! I'm sharing two of them today.  First up is the Nordic Floral Butterfly.

This one has a wonderful whimsical look to it. The sweet flower cut-outs let you change up the look in numerous ways.  My butterfly was created using our fabulous Black Glossy Paper.  I can not rave enough about this paper! The gloss is incredible, it's a nice heavy weight and it cuts like a butter! Lovely lilac glitter paper from the Graceful Garden Glitter Pad was the perfect companion for this whimsical little lady! She's perched atop a panel embossed with the Cheerful Floral folder that's available from our parent company, Memory Box. I couldn't decide on a sentiment for this one. I'll add it when I need the card.

My second card features the Nordic Spectacular Butterfly. And I must say, it's just that... spectacular!

Using the same Black Glossy Paper, there's also a pretty pink layer and a black sparkly layer. I added a small strip of thin white paper behind the circle cut outs for just a bit more pizazz! The sentiment was stamped with black ink, then again with Versa Mark ink and clear embossed. This little lady is also perched on a Cheerful Floral embossed panel. This time I flipped the panel upside down.

Thank so much for dropping by to visit the blog. I hope I've inspired you to create something summery today!

Happy Easter! "Mixed Media Mash-Up" Challenge Reminder by Rachel Duong

 

Hi It's Rachel here with a Happy Easter card in Mixed Media Mash-Up style! I used the Poppystamps "Thoughtful Bunny Duo" die. I hope you will join the Poppystamps Challenge. Just scroll down to the Challenge on the blog and click for all the details. 

To create this card, I die cut the "Thoughtful Bunny Duo" using the "Delicate Glitter" and "Glitzy Glitter" pads. Next I die cut the "Proper Happy Easter" sentiment die from the "Rainbow Reflections Mirror" pad and the "Vibrant Violet" paper pad. (These paper pads by Memory Box are listed below.) I glued the pieces together and set them aside. 

For the background, I used Open Studio Watercolor Paper, delicate finish. I layered distress inks mixed with generous amounts of water. Next I stamped "Banner Greetings" stamps over the lower portion of the cardfront. I used "Salty Ocean" distress ink and misted the sentiments with water to create a subtle, worn look. Then I ran embossing ink over the border and heat embossed silver powder to create a beautiful metallic frame. I roughed up the edges and wrapped teal jute string around the lower portion. 

 I adhered the bunnies and sentiment to the cardfront and cardbase. Finally, I chose Open Studio "Fairy Jewels" to embellish the card in similar colors present on the background! 

I hope you love this card, especially the layers of color. So much goodness!

Thanks for stopping by and please join the challenge, it will be lots of fun!

I would also like to thank my talented friend, Alison Heikkila, for being my guest designer this month. She made the most stunning card in true Mixed Media form. Please check out her awesome card featured on the Challenge post!

Have a wonderful day!

A Floral Monster-Book-of-Monsters? by Sphoorti

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

Sphoorti again!

 

Did the title of this post throw you off? It's weird, when I made this card, I had no plan, but in the end I started thinking it looks very similar to the Monster Book of Monsters from Harry Potter. Here's how it looks in case you don't remember: 

 

 

What do you think? Am I completely off? Well, anyway, let's get into how I ended up with this card.

 

Do you all remember my post from September where I color blended over a hot-foiled panel? During that hot-foiling frenzy, I didn't quite use the right settings for one of the runs using the PSF809 Leaf and Tendril Hot Foil Plate and ended up with a panel that didn't entirely foil properly. It was patchy. I couldn't get myself to throw it away, so I color blended over it to see if that would make it any better. It helped a little, but it still looked as if something was wrong with it. Check out these close ups of the strips. See what I mean?

 

•

So I tried out this super cool technique that my awesome friend Rachel (@colourandsparkle) showed off in her reels—it’s all about getting creative with card stock, but like, in a fun way, not just shredding it to pieces! It’s similar to what Laura Bassen calls the "Stripping it up" technique. Rachel is all about that eco-friendly life, always finding ways to reduce, reuse, and recycle. She took Laura's technique one step further and strips up random bits of card stock, old gift wrap, and pretty much any cute paper she can find, and turns them into these amazing cards. Seriously, you should see what she can do with just scraps—it’s so gorgeous! Check them out here: https://www.instagram.com/colourandsparkle/?hl=en

 

I thought I'd give it a shot and shredded the panel into very thin strips. I took some clear packaging tape and adhered it to my table with the sticky side facing up so that I could lay out the strips in order. If you look closely at the photo below, you'll see the packaging tape on the table.

 

 

I wanted a random assortment of shapes and sizes and colors so I put them together willy-nilly. Then I cut out the bottom side of the strips. I ended up with tiny pieces that were left over, so I just kept continuing along the sides, decreasing in height as I went so it tapered off on both ends.

 

Originally, I thought I'd make a two fold card with the strips mounted up on foam tape, but somehow I decided to go with a tri-fold card using this panel as one of the three sides. I couldn't bring myself to throw away the leftover skinny strip that I cut out, so I adhered to the second panel on the inside like so:

 

 

Then I adhered the main strip panel to the first flap of the card (I trimmed it slightly so that the strips look like they're floating and don't have any of the front panel / flap showing behind them). Oh, I also adhered an extra layer of card stock behind the skinny floating strips to give them some extra sturdiness.

 

 

The unfinished card was sitting on my desk for weeks like this. I just did not know how to finish it up or what else to do. I felt like something was missing. Unexpectedly, I received the package of latest release products from Poppystamps store owner, Dave. One of the goodies included the 2580 Nordic Flourishes craft die, and it looked so pretty, I just started die cutting away. I didn't plan to use it on this card or anything. I just went on a die-cutting spree with all the Nordic beauties from the Poppystamps Winter 2023 Release.

 

I had a bowl-full of the flourishes sitting on my desk and one day I just absentmindedly placed some on the second panel (opposite side of the one I adhered the skinny inner strips to). It looked lovely, so I went with it! I adhered them in the areas where we could see the second panel.

 

• 
• 

 

I had die cuts of 2453 Freestyle Hugs die set and decided to use that as the sentiment.

 

Then came the toughest part of all, and that was the sentiment placement. After days of contemplating and second guessing myself I asked my friends, Claire and Tracy, which of the below orientations they like most.

 

• 
• 
• 
• 
• 
• 

 

They told me which one they liked most and that's the one I went with! The end result?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I never expected to end up with such a card, but I absolutely love it! It was totally worth the wait, I think! I'm so glad I didn't throw away the scraps! Special thanks to Rachel, Claire, and Tracy for their ideas and support! The only problem is - how will I ever be able to replicate the patchy reversed foiled look? I guess that's the problem with repurposing junk and making it beautiful - you may not have more of the same junk to replicate in the future! Sigh. First world problems, I know.

 

I couldn't help but take a ridiculous amount of pictures to show the full effect and colors, so here's a lengthy scroll-able gallery of them in case you'd like to flip through.
