Let It Snow
by Tricia Barber

IMG_6386

Hello!  I am sharing a wintery scene today for my card using the Nordic Happy Snowman die!  He is so cute! I started by ink blending with Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxides.   I layered a strip of white cardstock die cut with the Nordic Delicate Border Set.

To build my scene, I die cut the snowman from white cardstock and then colored with my alcohol markers.  I layered them together with some liquid and foam adhesive.  I die cut the Wide Pine Needles Shoot die from glittered cardstock and assembled directly onto the card panel.  I colored white cardstock with my purple alcohol marker and then die cut the Let It Snow Moonlight Script die and layered onto white cardstock.

To finish off the card, I added Fairy Jewels to represent the snowfall using the same color as the background.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Hello!  Tricia here with you today to share a card using the Nordic Crown Flower die.   I love clean and simple cards but I think you can step them up by adding something unexpected.  The unexpected on this card is the detail Nordic Flourish Background die cut out of white cardstock layered behind  the light blue vellum panel.  You can see more details in this next picture!

I die cut the Nordic Crown Flower from various blues and greens from my scrap pal.   I created three of these using all the die cuts!  I mixed my greens on the stem to add some variety.  The sentiment is from the Modest Greetings 1 Foil and Cut Die Set.   I added my flower with liquid adhesive but left the upper part of the stem not glued so that I could adjust the stem over the flower portion.   I added my sentiment with some foam tape.

Do you like to make clean and simple cards?  I hope that you will try something unexpected on your next card!

A Flock of Us!
by Rachel Duong

Hi Friends! It's Rachel here to share an Autumn sky full of colorful birds in motion. I used the Poppystamps "Flock of Birds" and the "Whittle Field and Trees" dies to create this card. 

IMG_3246

Every night in my town 10 to 15 thousand crows migrate together to our college campus to spend the night in safety--a spectacular phenomenon! So of course when I saw these dies,  I immediately thought to make a card to reflect this fascinating ocurrence. 

IMG_3190

I began by die cutting many feathered friends using ink blended paper. I made piles for like pieces because there were so many. This die produces 7 birds, super awesome!

IMG_3191

Next I glued pieces I thought went well together. There are two pieces for each bird and there are a total of seven birds!

IMG_3243

I ink blended a gradient light blue sky with distress ink on a white A2 card front. Then I ink blended a strip of white paper in brown for the trees in the Poppystamps "Whittle Field and Trees". The fields, I watercolored in shades of green, yellow, and brown.

The sentiment "For You Poe Script" came out gorgeous in a teal pearl paper. I love it because it is just the right amount of shine. The curvy strip sentiment is stamped in brown from the Poppystamps "Christmas Banners" stamp and die set.

I arranged my birds to look as natural as possible. As I glued pieces down, I overlapped a few pieces to give it dimension. After assembled, I added burlap string and Open Studio "Fairy Drops"  for texture  and balance to complete the card. The Fairy drops come in three sizes. These will go with any card because they are clear, yay!

It was so relaxing making this card. I thoroughly enjoyed gluing the birds together. I know they will be a favorite and well loved on many cards. Have a fun day and I hope you get a few hours of crafty goodness in. Please let me know if you have any questions. I love to chat about Poppystamps card making!

Cherish every Kindness
by Nancy Penir

DSC_0078

Greetings Poppy friends! Nancy here, and I'm sharing a card today with several techniques, made simple with Poppystamps products.

DSC_0077

I used the new Deco Diamond Stencil Set for a background, and deepened my inking around the perimeter, while keeping the center light. I knew I wanted to add a stamped sentiment, and wanted the words to really shine. I loved the thought of kindness being like a fine flower, and that sweet thought needed to take center stage!

As for the flowers to frame the sentiment, Petite Blooms, I thought would be the perfect choice. I gave the petals a bit of dimension with a foam board and sculpting tool, inked only the centers, and stacked them for fullness. Choosing a darker shade for the leaves really hi-lighted those white petals!

There are so many new flowers to create with in the Poppystamp store, you should check them out!

Take care friends, and hope you're enjoying a flower-full spring!

Just a Note

Hello, I hope you are all happy and well.  Marybeth Lopez  here with you today with a soft yellow butterfly card. I used Poppystamps Teardrop Butterflies , they are so cute and just the right size to flutter out of the envelope.

0287A370-20D0-47CD-8904-7CA9F70065BF_1_201_a

The sentiment is from Poppystamps Modest Greetings . Modest Greetings hot foil set, comes with 8 sentiments, that's a lot of choices . 

085AC296-8983-4EE0-954C-4675107F0263_1_201_a

I used watercolor cardstock for the main panel for some added texture. I think this one is from memory box . I have lots cut up and ready to go so I cant be sure. 

E5273988-3424-4484-AE0A-E9096323F99E_1_201_a

For some of the layers on the butterfly I used a thick vellum cardstock, I cut many pieces out in a few shades of yellow then picked what I wanted as I created the panel.

The small vellum envelope is from Poppystamps Basic Junk Journal Set. So many die cuts out of that set to be used for things other than a junk journal.

Thank you for taking time to stop by . I hope you can find some simple inspiration from this card. Crafting is a true blessing. 

God  Bless you.

Just A Note Bouquet
by Tiffany Pryce

IMG_1096

Happy Friday Poppy friends! I hope your presents are wrapped, your stockings are hung, and your cookies are frosted! As much as I love the holidays, I wanted to create a non-holiday card featuring a product from the new Valentines 2023 release. Have you seen it yet? Whenever a new release comes out, I love flipping through the Idea Book. It gives you wonderful ideas for projects, and you can see all of the new products in action.

Today, I am showcasing the Floral Vase Pop Up Easel Set. This is a new addition to the Poppystamps easel products and is so beautiful! I love, love flowers and I enjoy sending flowers too. These paper flowers will never wilt so they make the perfect gift.

This card was fairly easy to put together. Start by die cutting all of the pieces to make the easel and base. I die cut them from white cardstock. The short part of the card base with the little tab is the front. When assembling the easel, you add glue or scor tape to the little tab only. This ensures that the easel props up properly.

After die cutting the base pieces from white, I ink blended the vase with teal ink. I die cut the leaves, flowers, and flower centers from both light and dark cardstocks in the Fresh Aqua paper pad and Sunny Orange paper pad. I arranged and adhered all of the leaves and flowers together with liquid glue or foam tape for varied dimension. For the flower centers, I added a little ink blending for color variation and depth. 

IMG_1084

After adhering all of the flowers, I added sparkle with Fairy Sugar glitter glue. I added small drops of the Fairy Sugar in the color Sunlit Gold, which may be my favorite color in the glitter glue line. It added just the right amount of shine to my bouquet.

IMG_1085

To create a stopper for the easel, I hot foiled a sentiment in gold glimmer foil from the Modest Greetings 1 set on white cardstock. I positioned the sentiment and die cut it with the outline die so the curve of the sentiment matched the card.

IMG_1072

I adhered the sentiment with foam tape so it would catch the easel and added a few extra flowers underneath to carry the theme through. I eventually added more fairy sugar drops to the flower centers.

I really like how this sweet card turned out. This design could be used for any occasion, all year round! Thanks for stopping by. Wishing you and yours a very happy holiday!! May all the joy of the season be yours. See you next time.
