White on White! by Sphoorti

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

It's Sphoorti again! With December's snow and wintery vibes, I decided to create a white-on-white card. It involved quite a bit of die cutting, but I had a blast putting it together! And the best part is - you can use any die set you have that can cut flowers!

 

 

I began by die cutting a bunch of flowers from white cardstock using the 2622 Flower and Leaf Sprinkles die. I also used some of the floral dies from the 2469 Floral Vase Popup Die Set. It helped speed up the flower die-cutting process. Next, I cut out some rings with the 2613 Nordic Pattern Ring die set. To make it easier, I added double-sided adhesive to the back of the rings, which allowed me to stick the flowers down without needing liquid glue.

 

 

To give the flowers some dimension, I used a blunt-ended pointy tool and gently pressed on the centers of the flowers while they were resting on a mouse pad. This helped them "pop" a little more. After that, I adhered the flowers to the Nordic rings and added pearls to some of the flower centers for a bit of extra elegance.

 

 

Once the rings were attached to my card base, I felt like the white space needed a bit more texture. So, I turned to the 2609 Scallop Pinpoint Rings die set and cut out a few additional rings from the same white card stock. These went into some of the open areas to balance out the design.

 

 

Finally, I added a leftover sentiment from the PSF808 Modest Greetings 2 Hot Foil Plate and Die, which I had foiled in gold on plain white card stock. And that was it!

 

 

It’s got a bit of a wedding card feel, don’t you think? While I don’t have any weddings coming up, I kept the sentiment general. What do you think of the finished look?

Leaves Are Falling, Autumn Is Callingby Birgit Norton

Hello friends!  Have you played along with this month's challenge yet?  "Leaves Are Falling, Autumn Is Calling" is the theme.  I created this month's challenge card using this beautiful leafy paper from the Nutmeg Forest 6x6 paper pack.  The patterns in this paper pack are absolutely stunning and make the perfect backdrop for any of the fall dies that Poppystamps carries.

I adhered a circle cut using Scallop Pinpoint Rings to the center of this A2 sized card and added the darling Forest Stump, along with mushrooms from the set.  There are a couple of leafy twigs from the Mini Forest Plants peeking out from behind the stump.

A clean and simple card to inspire you to join in on the challenge this month.

PSC#122 - Challenge Reminder: Leaves Are Falling, Autumn Is Calling by Sphoorti

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

It's Sphoorti with a gentle reminder of this month's challenge - PSC#122 - Leaves are Falling, Autumn is Calling!

The days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting colder. Autumn is in the air! This time we're looking for any and all Fall projects. That could mean an outdoor scene, fall colors, or things that you're thankful for!

 

Projects can be for any occasion, and you're not limited to making cards. We welcome home décor, page layouts, tags and everything in between! It's your choice, just be sure to use at least one Poppystamps die on your project! You must use a Poppystamps product to be eligible to win. For more details, check out the main post here.

 

This was my take on the challenge.

I began by blending distress inks onto a white cardstock panel, which I had die-cut using the Nordic Lacy Plate die. Next, I used the 2474 Double Scalloped Stitched Frames craft die to cut three sections from the blended lacy plate die-cut. I also used this die set to create gold glitter frames from glitter cardstock for a touch of shimmer.

 

 

From there, I didn’t have a set plan, so I decided to experiment with some spare die-cuts I had on my table to see how they might add to the design. Here are a few examples:

 

• 
• 
• 

 

I didn't quite like how the kitties looked on the card, so I decided to go with the tiny oak leaves from the 2664 Nordic Oak Leaves craft die cut out in the same gold glitter cardstock I used for the frames. I layered a few of them together to get the chipboard type of look.

 

• 
• 

 

I had to upgrade to a 5" x 7" card because otherwise, the three frames wouldn't fit. I felt like the background looked too stark, so, I used the CL5280 Gracious Floral Clear Stamp Set to stamp the large flower all over the card base with light gray ink. Then I adhered the frames offset from each other on the card. I adhered the leaves and decided to go with the 2600 Hugs Moonlight Script craft die for the sentiment.

And that was it! What do you guys think?

 

Now it's your turn to take on the PSC#122 - Leaves are Falling, Autumn is Calling! Need a little more motivation? How about a prize? The winner of this challenge (chosen at random) will receive a $20 Gift Certificate to spend on their favorites from the store! Remember - projects can be for any occasion, and you're not limited to making cards. Remember - we welcome home décor, page layouts, tags and everything in between! It's your choice, just be sure to use at least one Poppystamps die on your project!

 

Have a great rest of the week, and good luck, Peeps!

Wishing You Happiness by Lisa Elton

Sometimes, when you have just the right patterned paper, you don't need a lot of elements to bring your card to life. That was the case when creating this card. After adhering a sheet of adhesive to the back of my MB Nutmeg Forest paper, I ran it through my die cut machine using the Nordic Floral Plate.

Using the smallest of the Double Scallop Stitched Frame dies for my focal area still lets plenty of that pretty paper show.

The sentiment I've chosen lets me use this card for several different occasions. It could work for a birthday, anniversary, wedding or even retirement, don't you think?

To me, the icing on this cake, are those pretty little Nordic Oak leaves! I adore the layers on these and the fact that you get some teeny leaves in the mix as well. We have them in the store in the Maple leaf variety for you too! Just a few elements and some pretty paper were all this special card needed. Have a blessed day friends and thank you for your visit.

Fall Terrarium by Birgit Norton

Hello Poppystamps friends!  Are you enjoying all the beautiful colors of fall yet?  Here on the east coast, the leaves are brilliant shades of orange, yellow and red and many leaves have already fallen from the trees, leaving bare silhouettes of trees preparing for their winter slumber.  I created this card using the newest release from Poppystamps. 

The darling Cottage Terrarium dies practically jumped right into my hands when they arrived, beckoning to be used.  I started with an A2 sized card base and attached a strip of the adorable mushroom printed paper from the Nutmeg Forest printed paper pack onto the right side of the card.

Next, I cut the house, mushroom and greenery out of white cardstock and colored them using Copic markers.  The jar was cut from the Greenery Solid Core Cardstock and a scrap of grey cardstock for the lid.  I also cut the jar layer out of vellum and adhered the vellum over the top of the green to soften the color.  I then adhered the mushroom, house and greenery using liquid glue.

The Happy Fall Moonlight Script sentiment was cut from black and vellum and adhered slightly over the base of the jar.

To finish the card off, I added some Fairy Jewels in autumnal colors.

Happy Fall! by Rachel Duong

Hi there! The jack-o-lanters are lit and my fall card is a decorated wreath with beautiful multicolored leaves. I used the Poppystamps "Perky Pumpkins" for the main feature  with a shiny, mirrored paper. Are you ready for the holidays?!

To create this card I began by choosing a gorgeous patterned paper from the Memory Box "Nutmeg Forest" paper pad. The rich hues were a wonderful starting point. Next I die cut the "Nordic Delicate Border Set" in a medium lavender tone and adhered it to a deeper purple. I trimmed it down so more of the patterned paper could be seen. 

I die cut the pumpkins in metallic and glitter oranges. Strips of yellow are glued to the back to add glow. The curved pieces are from the "Nordic Wreath and Bow". I also die cut the leaves in mirrored and glitter green paper. The fun part is deciding how I was going to arrange all the pieces.

I cut the wreath pieces in fall colors.As it turns out, not much of the wreath can be seen once I compiled all the piecea. I decorated the wreath and then adhered it to the purple square. I die cut the leaves in purple and tan papers. I loosely watercolored them. Then I die cut the bow in plaid patterned paper. I love this Nutmeg Plaid paper pack so much. The fine lines of metallic gold is awesome. The Poppystamps "Happy Fall Moonlight Script" sentiment is cut in the mirrored green and bordered in purple. Finally I added the Open Studio "Treasure Chest Fairy Gemstones" to balance the card. I love the iridescent quality of these gemstones.

I love the texture and specialty papers in this card. They add so much character. The mood is so festive.

I had many extra pieces left over, I decided to make another card. This time I used a solid background and a brighter, more vivid color scheme. 

I hope your day is fantastic and that these cards might have inspired you to begin holiday card making. The supplies I used are listed below in case you want to make them. The Poppystamps dies are amazing and the Nordic dies are a series of many dies that coordinate together. Thanks for stopping by!
