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!

You're In My Thoughts by Lisa Elton

Hello and a happy summer to you! I'm sharing a light and airy card today. It's a card you could send to a friend who has suffered a loss, is unwell, facing surgery, or just having a hard time of it. 

The Diamond Sentiments set has the perfect assortment of sentiments that fit into the diamond frame. It's surrounded with the sweetest foliage! Those leaves would look beautiful in warm autumn colors, wouldn't they?

Heat embossing gives you an easy outline to fill with Copics, colored pencils or even water colors. I used Copics here, then found coordinating papers to bring everything together. Those papers were cut to a point to mimic the diamond top and ground the image.

Thanks for stopping by today, we love it when you do!

A Box of Chocolates by Rachel Duong

Happy New Year!  I hope you are looking forward to good things in 2023.  This is me, Rachel, here to share with you a box of chocolates! I was absolutely thrilled when I saw the Poppystamps "Vintage Scalloped Heart" die. Immediately, a heart-shaped tin full of decadent chocolates came to mind.  I imagined rich, vibrant papers complete with sparkle and shine to create a delicious card.  Valentine's Day is just around the corner, here is my Valentine's Day card for you!

Steps to create this card.
1. Die cut the scalloped heart from the Poppystamps "Vintage Scalloped Heart" die from the Memory Box "Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad". The paper I chose is a pearl gold. It is gorgeous!
2. Die cut the heart with the sunburst accents using metallic red cardstock from the Memory Box "Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad".
3. Die cut the Poppystamps "Sending Love Poe Script" sentiment in antique gold glitter paper from the Memory Box "Festive Glitter Pad". (Save the heart)

4. Using dark brown, die cut the Poppystamps "Heartfelt Pinpoint Frame" background die. (Save the little hearts for another card!)
5. Using a medium brown, cut an A2 size card front.
6. Finally, glue the pieces together. Don't forget the glitter heart!
7. Adhere to a black card base or any color of your choice!

Pictured are the amazing Poppystamps dies I used from the Valentine's release. 

I hope you love this Valentine as much as I do. It reminds me so much of sweet memories involving chocolate surprises! Fabulous glitter and beautiful shiny red paired with two shades of rich chocolate brown are just enough to add a warm sentimental glow.

May you have a beautiful day today. See you very soon. Until then, sending much love your way!

Cascade of Posies by Nancy Penir

Hi! I'm so glad you joined me today. I have a card made with a new Poppy die called, Pierced Finnegan Circle.

A friend of mine recently had shoulder surgery, and wanted her to know she's on my heart and mind. Here's a few of

what I used to create this card.

After running the die through the die cutting machine, I inked a bit of color to hi light the pierced design.

Blooming Border provided the posies and leaves, which I cut from vellum.

Lots of sequin flower centers, and a sweet 'feel better', and my card's ready to send!

Hope you got some inspiration today. And hope you have a 'craftilicous' day!

Peony Get Wellby Lezlye Lauterbach

Welcome to Poppystamps Blog, Lezlye here today showcasing a NEW stamp set and coordinating dies.

I stamped the Peony flower on Neenah solar white yardstick and cut out with the perfectly precision die.  I chose a little deeper topic markers pictured below.

I drew up a sketch and  based my card off of it. I find this helps get the card design started if you ar having a mental mojo block...

I stamped with versa mark ink on my deep red yardstick circle with the dot texture from the set.

This Nuevo Glimmer paste is neat, it is thick and acts as a colored embossed look. Just look at that yummy texture and color.

I circle cut a apiece of vellum, stamped the sentiment on a flag banner. I used some twine for texture. Final step to add some sparkle, wink of Stella and star sequins.

I hope you enjoyed seeing what I did with this Fabulous new set perfect for coloring!
