Merry Christmas Forest By Meghan Kennihan

Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm delighted to share with you the first of MANY Christmas cards I made with the NEW Poppy Stamps Nordic Wonderland Release. This card features the Nordic Wispy and Dimple trees with the Yuletide Cheer 6x6 Paper Pad.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: When do you start making your Christmas cards?
A: Me? All year round... I make at least 5 a month

Step #1: I started my card by die cutting the Poppy Stamps Nordic Trees out of plain green cardstock from the Poppy Stamps Leafy Green 6x6 Paper Pad and the matching green and gold plaid paper from the Yuletide Plaid 6x6 Paper Pad.

Step #2: I arranged the trees on my card with my favorite paper of the Yuletide Cheer 6x6 Paper Pad in the background because it looks like gold snow. I add little gold gems to each of the trees with the Poppy Stamps Christmas Fairy Jewels

Step #3: I finish my card with the beautiful Merry Christmas Moonlight Script Die with the metallic gold paper from the Poppy Stamps Rainbow Reflections Mirror 6x6 Paper Pad and mounted it on a matching gold base.

Let It Snow by Allison Frazier

Hello Poppystamps friends! I am happy to be back on the blog today sharing another card featuring some holiday cheer. Since I recently used the new Nordic Happy Snowman, I decided to revisit the Sweet Nordic Snowman from last year. They're very similar, but each has its own personality. I paired it with some patterned paper with a snowflake design.

I cut all of the snowman pieces from white card stock and then ink blended the clothing with Distress Inks. I also cut some of the pieces from gold card stock. This ties into the gold foiled snowflakes that are on the background. The background is from the Memory Box Yuletide Cheer paper pack. I love the foiled details on this paper. But, I did want to tone it down so that the snowman and the sentiment would stand out. In order to tone it down, I cut a smaller panel of vellum. 

The sentiment is the new Let It Snow Moonlight Script die. I cut the detail layer from gold card stock, and I cut the outline layer from white card stock. I ink blended the outline layer with the same inks that I used on the snowman's clothing. Once I glued these pieces together, I glued it and the snowman to the panel of vellum. I then glued the vellum to the card base, making sure to only put glue behind the snowman and the sentiment. I also put a tiny dot of glue on the center of three of the snowflakes. This allowed me to have more of the vellum attached to the card base. To cover the glue, I added gold pearl embellishments.

I hope this card brings a smile to your face today! Thank you so much for joining us.

Be Merry! by Rachel Duong

Hi friends! It's Rachel here to share an adorable holiday card. Even though it is summer, it is never too early to begin your holiday crafting. I used the Poppystamps "Nordic Bundled Bear" and the "Nordic Treeline" dies.

To create this card I began by cutting out the bear in kraft, red, white, black and plaid patterned paper. After I glued the bear together I added foam dimensionals on the back to pop up the image.

Next I covered the white A2 cardbase with a Memory Box  "Yuletide Cheer" paper.

I die cut the "Nordic Treeline" in green, brown and white. I trimmed the trees off the kraft keeping the trunk and ground. I glued it in place. Trim off trees off the white copy. The only part of the white paper used is the ground.

Then I die cut the "Be Merry" sentiment in white and red. I double layered the sentiment to pop it up before going onto the cardfront.

Finally I added a red "Fairy Jewel" after the sentiment. 

I can't wait to create polar bears and black bears. This bear is definitely a favorite die and has so much personality!
Until next time, don't forget to start your holiday projects now. There are so many amazing dies from the Poppystamps winter release. The bear is only one of them!

Hang In There by Rachel Duong

Hi crafty friends! It's Rachel here sharing a card using the Poppystamps "Nordic Stockings" from the latest holiday release. Stockings are not only for the holidays. How about bright, colorful hanging ones drying in the summer sun?! And this monkey wants a part in it too!

To create this card I began by die cutting the "Nordic Stockings" out of brightly painted watercolor paper. I glued the pieces together and added more color to areas that I thought needed contrast. Next I cut a yellow cardfront slightly smaller than an A2 card. Then I die cut the "Double Scalloped Stitched Frames" out of creme cardstock. I glued the frame to the cardfront and then glued that to a creme cardbase.

I adhered burlap twine with glue dots and liquid glue to the cardfront. I arranged the stockings and added extra layers where needed to level the pieces. I die cut and painted the monkey from the "Whittle Pirate Monkey Kit" out of watercolor paper. I decided where I wanted him to hang and then glued all the pieces down. 

I stamped the sentiment in Versafine Clair green ink. The sentiment is from the "Whittle Pirate Monkey Kit".  

Finally I die cut the "Flower and Leaf Sprinkles" in creme cardstock and arranged them on the stockings and around the card. I glued the flowers down and then I added pretty jewel embellishments for the centers of the blossoms to complete the card with a touch of sparkle!

I imagine this card will go to a friend that might be having a rough day and needs a little cheering up! The monkey is too cute and will surely bring a smile! Thank you for stopping by. Please contact me if you have any questions. Have a wonderful day!

Warmest Wishes by Tricia Barber

Hello! Tricia here with you today. I am sharing a wintery card using the new Nordic Wonderland release!  I am sharing the new Nordic Forest Gnome and Large Mushroom House.   How cute is this gnome? He looks like Santa to me!  I love working with die cuts and adding details with a mix of markers and ink blending.  I started out by trimming a card panel using some patterned paper from the Yuletide Plaid paper pack.  I ink blended onto the top of the panel with dark blue ink.  I trimmed the panel done to 4 by 5.25 inches.  

I die cut the Nordic Forest Gnome and Large Mushroom House from colored cardstock.  I used a small blender brush and added ink to the edges.  For the Gnomes face, I used my alcohol markers.  I added some additional details with a white gel pen.   The grassy border was made with the new Nordic Wintertide Border set.  

To add to the wintery scene, I die cut a Wide Pine Needle Shoots tree from several different colors of green cardstock.  I stamped a greeting from the Holiday Banners Clear stamp and die set.  I finished off the card with some Christmas Fairy Jewels.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

A Ray Of Sunshine by Birgit Norton

Good morning crafty friends!  I just love the warmth the sunshine brings and today's card is full of sunshine just for you.  This card meets the requirement for the current challenge "Good Day Sunshine" too.  Double win!  Let's jump right in on how this card came together.

Using the Potpourri Flower Set, I cut several sets of flowers from some warm toned scraps I had in my scrap box.

In keeping with the sunshine theme, I cut the largest Double Scalloped Stitched Frame out of soft yellow cardstock from the Sunrise 6x6 cardstock pack and the medium sized frame from white cardstock. 

I used a heat embossed sentiment from Diamond Sentiments and cut it using a circle die and then layered it onto a Brilliant Ring cut out of a darker shade of yellow from the Sunrise pack. 

I layered the frames onto a piece of printed paper from the Gladiola 6x6 pack of paper and attached the circle sentiment and added the flowers, finishing the centers off with Fairy Jewels.  A warm and encouraging card to send to a friend.
