You are Amazing by Michelle Woerner

Hi crafty friends! It's Michelle Woerner here with a simple spring card. Nothing says spring like flowers blooming!

To start, I embossed the Evangeline Pinpoint Frame die into white cardstock. This card front die looks amazing die cut, but just as pretty embossed! I trimmed it and matted it to light green cardstock from the 6x6 Greenery paper pad. Next I die cut the largest heart frame from the Scallop Pinpoint Hearts die set with the same light green cardstock and trimmed off the right side.

I die cut the Simple Floral Bundle in 2 greens, purple, pink and blue cardstock. I lightly inked the bottom of each of the flower blooms to add a bit of dimension. I arranged the flowers inside the heart frame and added some gems for a bit of sparkle.

The sentiment is from Sentimental Banners stamp and die set. I love to have the sentiment pop against the white background by embossing in white on black cardstock. I hope you have a chance to look through all the pretty flower die sets and find something for your spring cards! Thank you for stopping by and have a great day!

Gilded Elegance: A Monochromatic Green Christmas Card with Stunning Gold Foil Details by Sphoorti

 

Hello, crafty friends! Sphoorti here with a monochromatic holiday card that features a lovely green ombre effect and a touch of gilded elegance. This card was a real game-changer for me, as it brought my crafty mojo back to life after a little creative lull. The addition of gold foil details really takes the design to the next level and adds that special festive touch!

 

 

Dry Embossing the Background with the Nordic Lacy Plate

To begin this card, I used the beautiful 2615 Nordic Lacy Plate craft die for the background. This intricate design really sets the stage for the entire card, giving it a textured, lacy feel that feels both modern and timeless. The details in the die cut allow for the ink and foil to really shine through!

 

 

Creating the Ombre Effect

Once I had the background die cut, I used a combination of Lucky Clover, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron distress inks to create a smooth ombre effect. 

 

 

Adding Gilded Foil Details with Sakura Quickie Glue Pen

This panel had been sitting on my desk for a few months, but one day, as I was searching for a way to bring it to life, I spotted my Sakura Quickie Glue pen. I decided to get a little creative and started dotting the dots and filling in the little ovals of the design with the glue. Once the glue was dry, I used some gold DecoFoil to foil those spots, which added a gorgeous gilded effect. It was this small decision that ended up bringing me my mojo back, and I’m so happy I gave it that extra shine! The gold foil really makes the details pop and truly was worth the meticulous effort. Here's the panel with the gilding in action! 

 

 

Sentiment & Frame

For the sentiment, I used the Merry Christmas Moonlight Script die, which unfortunately is no longer available. However, there are still other holiday-themed moonlight script dies available that work just as well. I recommend the 2598 Happy Holidays Moonlight Script craft die as a great alternative. 

 

 

The frame in the middle of the card was created using the Scalloped Stitch Frames Die Set, which was also discontinued. But no worries! You can substitute with any frame dies you have on hand. I used this frame to highlight the sentiment and give the design a bit of structure without overwhelming the delicate background.

Would You Try It?

If you’ve been looking for an easy way to add gilded elements to your designs, I highly recommend using a glue pen and foil to create custom accents. It’s a simple technique that adds so much personality and shine to any project. Let me know if you’ve ever tried foiling or creating ombre effects, and I’d love to hear how it worked for you!

Happy crafting, and I hope this card brings some inspiration for your holiday projects!

Love,

Sphoorti

You Really Know How To Shine! by Rachel Duong

You really know how to shine! Hi there, it's Rachel here with a Poppystamps congratulations card.  I used the brand new release along with tons of metallic paper! The "Congrats Streamer Script" dies, "Brilliant Birthday Balloons" dies and the "Balloons Celebrations" stamp set make up this fantastic card. 

To create this card I die cut the "Brilliant Birthday Balloons" using shiny gold, silver, copper, red, fuschia and magenta metallic paper from the Memory Box "Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad". 

Next I cut red cardstock to an A2 size and glued it to a white cardbase. I chose patterned paper from The "Birthday Fun" double sided paper pad. I trimmed and glued white paper with gold dots leaving approximately a quarter inch of red border.

I arranged the balloons and when I found a display pleasing to my eye, I adhered them to the cardfront. I started with the large balloons and then placed the small ones so that they overlapped and the colors were balanced and easy to see. I also glued tails to each balloon.

I die cut the "Congrats Streamer Script" --red for the border and the patterned paper for the congrats. I added a few layers to make the word show dimension. I just love this font! Then I stamped the sentiment on red paper and embossed it in gold. I cut out each individual word. I arranged the words in a wonky column configuration and glued it down.

Here is the card almost complete. Did  you see the words fell off the card? Tip--when glueing your pieces onto the metallic papers, make sure to allow extra time to secure and dry. This is the card before the last step. Some of us might want to stop here. 

To complete the card I splattered bright gold metallic acrylic paint concentrating on the area above congrats". I covered the all the words before splattering and then removed the mask to add a few small specks of paint. 

I love the brilliant shine when the balloons are illuminated with a light source. The effects make this card extra special!

Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope you feel inspired to make a bright and shiny card! Check out the new release by Poppystamps. It is full of balloons, treats and gorgeous flowers. May your day be radiant, brilliant and extra special!

Be Merry by Lisa Elton

Hello sweet Poppy peeps! How is your Christmas card stash coming along? I'm here today with some merry inspiration for you. Did you know you can use your stencils to emboss your cardstock? I've done just that using the Nordic Motif Stencil. I use my usual sandwich of plates, but also add in a rubber mat along with the stencil. I did just a little selective inking, using the stencil in the usual way, to add some interest after the embossing.

This sweet Nordic Playful Penguin just makes me smile. You have to admit, he is one cute little fella! He's dressed in his best today courtesy of papers from the MB Yuletide Cheer 6x6 paper pad.

A scrap of patterned paper was used for the Berry Merry sentiment. I opted not to add the letters back in, but to let the white show through. I like that you can used this die in more than one way!

Just a little something bright and cheerful to add some merry to your day! Thanks so much for stopping by.

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!
