Thanks so Mush! by Rachel Duong

Hi friends! It's Rachel here sharing a charming monochromatic mushroom card. It's something a little delicate and yet cute too! As we head into the fall season, lots of mushroom hunting abounds and the images of these fungi are everywhere. The Poppystamps "Dainty Mushrooms" are super sweet and full of happy vibes!

To create this card, I began with a creme cardfront measuring approximately 4" x 5 1/4". I centered the Poppystamps "Nordic Bloom" craft stencil over it. Next I lightly ink blended tea dye distress ink on it.   

I cut an oval shape from heavy vellum and glued the center point down on the stenciled pattern. Then I chose an Open Studio greeting tab and adhered it to the center, this also acts as a cover to disguise the glue under the vellum. 

I die cut the caps of the "Dainty Mushrooms" in gold glitter cardstock from the Festive Glitter Pad (see below). Then I die cut the bases in watercolor paper. Brown hues of paint loosely applied to the bases create character. I applied strips of black underneath to make the eyes stand out. I glued the mushrooms together and then to the cardfront, careful to overlap the vellum to help hide additional glue under the vellum. 

Pastel Fairy Jewels adorn the card with sparkling accents. I placed the upper two jewels on the vellum edge to adhese the edges in these areas. 

Finally, silver metallic thread triple wrapped around the upper portion of the card gives the finishing touch of flair. I also gave the bow extra loops to add bulk as the thread is so fine it can get lost on the card.
A close-up look at the fun metallic pieces lending an extra special touch to the card design. The sentiment is a definite nod to the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday!

Thankful for you always! Have a wonderful day and can't wait to share more cards soon. Please take a look at the new Poppystamps release. The new dies are incredible and the possibilities are endless! Until the next post, I will miss you MUSH!

A Spook-tacular Birthday! by Rachel Duong

Hi crafty friends! It's Rachel here with a Halloween card full of festivities and bits of spooky fun. The Poppystamps "Perky Pumpkins" are gourd-geous and the "Ghostly Cat/s" are super clever and adorable.

To create this card I die cut the pumpkins out of watercolor paper. I painted them using combinations of yellow mixed in with predominant colors of orange, green and brown. Next I glued the pieces together and set aside. I die cut the cat out of black glossy paper and the ghost costume out of white glitter paper from the 6x6 Vintage Pastel Mirror Pad (see below). I die cut the "Cute Spider/s" out of the Black Glossy Paper (see below).

I used a heavy black cardbase and stamped the sentiment from the "Bugs and Hisses" Poppystamps clear stamp set with Versamark ink. I sprinkled clear embossing powder on the ink and applied heat. I love the effect of a message barely there and if angled just so...the shiny texture can be seen! I chose a "Happy Birthday" font from the Open Studio gold foiled greeting tabs.

I arranged all the pieces and then glued them down. Also I added a few thick pieces of card stock to the back of the cat to pop it up and provide dimension.

Finally I splattered gold acrylic paint around the pumpkins for a dramatic flair!

I drew a line with a black Sharpie from the spider to the top of the card to represent a cobweb. Also I adhered a leaf falling to the ground below.

Thank you so much for stopping by. I love these Poppystamps "Perky Pumpkins" and "Ghostly Cats". I always have an awesome time creating festive holiday themed cards. I hope you do too. I will be back tomorrow with another card. Yay! Take card and have a Spook-tacular day!

Flower and Leaf Sprinkles by Sphoorti

 

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

Hi, it's Sphoorti! I'm excited to share the first card in a new series I'm working on. If you've seen my earlier posts, you know how much I love the Flower and Leaf Sprinkles die set. It creates so many beautiful floral elements that can be used in countless ways! Combined with watercolor card stock and Nuvo Shimmer powders like Green Parade, Atlantis Burst, Violet Brocade, and Lilac Waterfall, it results in a delightful collection of floral cards. Here's the first one!

 

 

First, I prepared some panels of watercolor cardstock, soaked them with water, and generously sprinkled the Nuvo Shimmer Powders mentioned earlier. Once they were dry, I used the Flowers and Leaf Sprinkles die set to cut them. You can also use leaves and foliage from various other Poppystamps products, which I've linked in the supplies section below.

 

 

Next, I took white cardstock panels and cut out some scalloped frames, aiming to create double borders along the top and bottom of the card. I adhered these with foam tape for added dimension, then attached the leaves and foliage die cuts along the scalloped frames. Additionally, I cut some leaves from vellum and scattered them among the leafy die cuts.

 

 

For the sentiment, I used a silver hot-foiled "Sending Hugs" from the Modest Greetings set, mounting it in the center of the card with foam tape. To add a touch of sparkle, I cut thin strips of silver glitter cardstock and adhered them on top of the scalloped borders. And that completes the card!

 

What do you think? Which of these did you like the most? Please do let me know in the comments below, we all love hearing from you!

Unicorns & Rainbows by Tricia Barber

Hello!  Tricia with you today sharing a birthday I made using the Whittle Rainbow Unicorn Kit and the Birthday Blowout stamp set.   I had so much fun using the recently released Whittle Bit of Fun release that I was in a whittle mood to make some more and pulled out the Whittle Rainbow Unicorn Kit!  I love creating scene cards.  I started by cutting out of the the dies in the Whittle Rainbow Unicorn kit from white and glitter cardstock.   I colored the rainbow, stars and unicorn manes with my alcohol markers.   

I had to add some sparkle to the card so I die cut the moon, unicorn wings and horn from white glitter cardstock from the Festive Glitter pad.   I ink blended some light purple cardstock with a light and darker purple dye ink and started at the top left and ink from the corner in.   I stamped two sentiments, one from the Whittle Rainbow Unicorn Kit and the other from the Birthday Blowout stamp set using Versafine Onyx Black ink. 

 

I used a combination of liquid glue and foam adhesive to add my die cuts to the panel.   I added some of the clear Fairy Drops to finish off the card.  I love the purple with the rainbow!  Such a fun and happy card.   So much fun to create with the Whittle kits!  Purple is not a color that I gravitate to for my backgrounds but I think I have found a new favorite for Halloween! EEEK!   I hope you have a wonderful and crafty day!

Hot Foiling Galore and Christmas in July! by Sphoorti

 

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

It's Sphoorti again, and today I have four cards to show you, each created using hot foiling techniques. These were made almost two years ago—time flies! I completely forgot to write a blog post about them. While some of the products I used have been retired, there are still some adorable ones available. Grab 'em before they disappear!

Also, there are some Poppystamps products that look/feel similar to some of those retired products, so I'll provide links to those in case you'd like to get them. Scroll down to the supplies section at the bottom for the full list.

 

Backgrounds:

 

Let's start with the backgrounds. For my first and favorite card, I hot foiled some white card stock using the Leaf and Tendril Hot Foil Plate using some Opal foil. This stuff is magic! For the other three - did you know you can hot foil with your existing dies? I used the 2489 Snowflake Background craft die to foil ink blended cardstock. The result was this thin but beautiful outline of the snowflakes.

• 

 

Card Components:

 

I did a ton of diecutting for these cards, and I even have leftovers to create more! Essentially, I used dies to cut out envelopes, pine needles, poinsettias, and holly leaves. The envelopes were cut from vellum, while the other components were cut from white cardstock and colored using distress inks, or from glitter and foil pads (listed in the supplies section). Then came the fun part—at least for me—assembly! It was incredibly enjoyable arranging the needles, leaves, and flowers as if they were emerging from the envelopes.

 

 

• 
• 
• 
• 

 

 

Sentiments:

 

I also did plenty of diecutting for the sentiments. I used sentiment dies like Hello and Joy, although they are no longer available. You can find similar options linked in the supplies list below. Essentially, I cut multiple versions of each sentiment from plain white cardstock and layered them to achieve a chipboard-like effect. I finished off the sentiments with a layer of glitter or foil. For the shadows on the Joy cards, I used vellum.

 

 

• 
•

• 

 

 

Embellishments:

 

Can we ever call a card complete without some embellishments? I went wild with all the goodies I had on my desk at the time—Jewels, Drops, Pearls, Crystals... you name it! It was like a bling buffet for my cards, and it was the holidays, so why not make every card feel like a celebration, right?
