Let it Snow by Jeanne Jachna

Hi Friends!  Happy New Year!   I hope your 2025 is off to a good start!  We're in the middle of a cold snap here in the Midwest so I'm happy to be comfy cozy at home making it all! 

I wanted to remind you today that we have a monthly challenge here at Poppystamps!  It's a great way to show us how much you love Poppystamps and let us see what you make!  The theme this month is Midas Touch!  It's our way of wishing you that everything you touch turns to gold!    This time we're asking you to add some gold to your design.  It's easy to link your designs to your Instagram, Blog, or other online gallery. 

I made a snow scene featuring the Nordic Dancing Gnome.   He looks a heck of a lot like Santa, but he's quickly turning into one of my favorite forest friends!  His "dancing" posture made him perfect for posing on a Forest Stump tree trunk. 

I added the Nordic Fancy Background to look like a snowy sky, and the Whittle Field and Trees cut from white glitter paper makes a snowy ground.  Nordic Frilly Trees are cut from green and a bit of gold embellishes their branches.

I hope you'll join us for the challenge - it's a great way to make a card and add it to your stash so that you're ready for just about anything!  What a great way to start the year!

Autumn Elf by Jeanne Jachna

Hi Friends!  I hope you're  having a great day!  I wanted to start my post to remind you to join our monthly challenge.  This month our theme is "Leaves are Falling - Autumn is Calling".  Playing along is a great way to let us see what you and others make, and by linking up your design you are automatically entered to win the $20 giveaway prize we offer every month.  Die cuts will always be my favorite!  And one of my favorite things is multi-purposing so I can get the most out of the supplies I have.   Today I'm playing with the Nordic Joyful Elf who is intended for Christmas.  Simply by changing the colors and setting he's now an Autumn Elf!   

My cards usually start the same way.  I arrange the images on apiece of plastic the same size as my card base.   The clear plastic allows me to arrange before committing and adhering things in place.  The clear plastic lets me slide different backgrounds underneath so I can decide what colors I like best. 

My elf is standing on Forest Stump and is having fun in the forest on a perfect fall day.  Nordic Oak and Nordic Maple Leaves are scattered about as well as some mushrooms and Mini Forest Plants foliage. 

The background was created by blending Distress Oxide ink.  It's a creamy pigment ink that blends easier than dye ink.  A preprinted sentiment from Memory Box in gold foil finishes the design. 

I hope you believe in magic like I do!  Elves aren't only for the holidays.. they're living in the forest and celebrating the beauty of every season!

Meet our November guest, Ingrid Aries, who was selected and is introduced by our DT member Sphoorti! 

I'm thrilled to introduce Ingrid Aries as our Guest Designer for this month! Her cards are not only beautifully crafted but also showcase an incredible range of styles—from elegant and intricate to fun and whimsical. I admire how she can work across so many techniques, making each card feel unique and special. But beyond her talent, what has touched me is her kindness. Last year, when I faced a difficult time after being laid off, Ingrid sent me a heartfelt card that lifted my spirits, even though we had never even spoken before. Her thoughtfulness and genuine warmth truly shine through, both in her creations and in her generous heart.

Hello everyone! My name is Ingrid Aries. I live in the Pacific Northwest with my wonderful husband, 12-year-old daughter, and our sweet Havapoo. I taught elementary school for several years and am currently a substitute teacher. I have been crafting for as long as I can remember, creating my first handmade cards for Valentine’s Day in Second Grade. As a child, I wanted to be a Care Bear, not just dress up as one, but actually be one. I was always drawn to how they spread love, kindness, and joy. While my dreams have changed, one of the things that hasn’t is my deep desire to spread joy and love and to encourage others. I think that’s why I enjoy card making so much. It gives me the chance to create something that can brighten someone’s day. Besides making cards, I love organizing, doing puzzles, listening to podcasts, all things Disneyland, and spending time with family and friends.

Boo To You! by Jeanne Jachna

Sending you sweet Halloween witches today and reminding you that there is still time to play along with this month's Poppystamps Challenge - Get Your Boo On!  This time we're looking for your spooky style!   You can always find the monthly challenge by clicking on the challenge badge in the top right column on the blog.  If you use Instagram you can link your designs to the challenge for a chance to win a $20 gift card to the shop! 

I always start my cards the same way, I arrange the die cut pieces on a piece of clear plastic the same size as my card base.  This allows me to move things around until I'm happy and commit to adhering everything in place.  It also makes it convenient to slip different backgrounds underneath to see which ones I like best! 
Because this is a scene card I started with a green grassy field along the bottom and ended with a purple sky.  Stacked circle die cuts become a moon to light your path!   I changed this on the finished card when I decided that the moon would make a great place to stamp the sentiment. 

It doesn't get cuter than this!   The new Loveable Witch is so sweet and easy to assemble!  My witch has violet eyes and I added alcohol marker rosy cheeks to her, the ghosts and pumpkins.  

I adhered the ghosts and pumpkins with adhesive foam tape to add dimension to the design.  The ghosts look like they're floating, and leaves are tucked under the raised pumpkins. 

I hope you find some time to play today!  It's a great way to relax and I think you'll be delighted with the cute things you make!

I adhered the ghosts and pumpkins with adhesive foam tape to add dimension to the design.  The ghosts look like they're floating, and leaves are tucked under the raised pumpkins. 

I hope you find some time to play today!  It's a great way to relax and I think you'll be delighted with the cute things you make!
