Hi Crafty Friends,
I love the Poppy Stamps Nordic Foxes. They don't have to just be used for Christmas and Winter cards. I'm showing you an autumn version using the Poinsettia Garland 6x6 Paper Pack pattern papers with gold accents.
Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you have foxes in the wild where you live?
A: Me? Yes, they come from the forest preserve near my house

Hello Poppystamps friends! I'm here today to remind you about our current challenge, with the theme "Woodland Wonder". I've paired the old with the new this month, to show you how Poppystamps dies coordinate so well together.
I started by cutting the Nordic Foxes out of white and terra cotta colored cardstock. I darkened some of the detailed terra cotta pieces by coloring them using Copic markers. I assembled the fox and mounted it to the center of an A2 sized cream colored card base. I stamped the sentiment from Christmas Fun below the fox.
I cut two of the Adriana Tall Curve Border pieces out of white cardstock and colored the leaves, stems and berries using Copic Markers. I added white gel pen details to the berries and glued them to both side edges of the card, finishing my design.

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am hear to remind you of our Spooktacular Challenge this month. The theme is Get Your Boo On! This card features the little Halloween Icons from the Whittle Creatures Die Set and ghosts from the Whittle Scary Guys Die Set.
Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Which is your favorite icon?
A: Me? I like the little pumpkin
My background is a blend of Distress Oxide Inks Black Soot, Mowed Lawn, and Twisted Citron splattered with Black Soot and Copic White Opaque Paint. I framed the Halloween icons with the Leafy Branch Oval Craft Die and finished my card with the BOO sentiment using Poppy Stamps Marzipan Alphabet.

Hi Crafty Friends,
It's almost SPOOKY Month and I am looking forward to it with this fun Haunted House Easel card. Poppy Stamps has so many fa-boo-lous Halloween dies.
Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you go to Haunted Houses this season?
A: Me? No! I'm a scaredy cat!
I used Poppy Stamps Neighborhood Home Pop Up Easel Set with black and gray papers to make my Haunted House with light yellow in the windows for the "glow".
I decorated my house with the Whittle Scary Guys. Using Copic Sketch R21 for their cheeks. I finished the inside of my card with the word BOO using the Poppy Stamps Marzipan Alphabet Set.

Hello Poppy Peeps!
It's Sphoorti again! Remember my post from the other day? I made another card that's very similar with the extras I had leftover, and stepped it up just a bit.
This one's also clean and simple, and completely made with just die cuts. No stamping whatsoever!
I ran the 2464 Marzipan Alphabet craft die multiple times through my Big Shot. All my alphabets were connected, so I ran them through to save time for the next time I might need some alphabets. I stacked a few letters together (just random ones, but with at least two glued together for extra dimension). I stacked the letters H and E and Y about five times for some extra dimension. I used Candied Apple and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks to color the H, E, and Y.
I cut some silver mirror card stock using the 2478 Scalloped Stitch Frames craft die and adhered one of the frames to my card panel.
Then I used the 2530 Large Stitched Envelope and Postage craft die to cut an envelope out of vellum. I kept the top flap of the envelope open. I adhered some alphabets inside the envelope and also foam mounted the envelope by adhering some foam tape discreetly behind the alphabets in the envelope.
I took the colored H, E, and Y, and adhered them in a way that it looks as if they're coming out of the envelope. I coated them with glossy accents for some shine.
The card looked a little barren to me, so I adhered a bunch of little enamel hearts in red and white coming out of the envelope. And that was it!
Thoughts? Questions? Epiphanies? Would you want to remake this card? Would you do anything differently? Let us know in the comments below! Thank you for visiting!
Love,

Hello Poppy Peeps!
It's Sphoorti, and I have a very clean and very simple card for you today - all made with just die cuts, and no stamping! And all you need is one set of dies, i.e. the 2464 Marzipan Alphabet craft die!
Although very clean and simple and easy to make, this card requires a lot of die cutting. It's not for the faint of heart. But not to worry at all - just grab a comfortable chair, play an old sitcom you like (I personally opted for The Big Bang Theory), and die-cut away! It'll go by very fast!
I ran the 2464 Marzipan Alphabet craft die multiple times through my Big Shot. All my alphabets were connected, so I ran them through to save time for the next time I might need some alphabets. I stacked a few letters together (just random ones, but with at least two glued together for extra dimension). I stacked the letters H and I about five times for super dimension. I used Candied Apple and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks and colored the H and I.
At first I planned to scatter the letters all over the card panel (with no rhyme or reason) around the letters H and I.
But I'm a control freak and not too big a fan of chaos. I used some washi tape and attached the letters H and I at an angle at the bottom of the card panel. Then I glued the remaining letters in front of, behind, above, and below. Nicely and evenly distributed and arranged and ended up with this.
I felt like something was missing, so I used some glossy accents for the H and the I. I still felt like something was missing, so I scattered some heart stickers and felt much better!
Thoughts? Questions? Epiphanies? Would you want to remake this card? Would you do anything differently? Let us know in the comments below! Thank you for visiting! Stay tuned for another post using the same die set and more!
Love,
Sphoorti
