Happy Birthday by Lisa Elton

Hello and welcome! Is this pair not the cutest way to send happy birthday wishes? Their little smiling faces would brighten anyone's day! Lambs are not just for Easter cards, friends. They can be used for so many occasions.

My card began with the Nordic Floral Burst Background. I used paper from the MB Glimmering Gladiola 6x6 pad for the top layer and paper from the MB Gladiola Plaid 6x6 pad for the shadow layer.

The Nordic Cheerful Lamb and the Nordic Joyful Lamb were both cut from white cardstock then dressed using the Stormy Blue 6x6 paper pad. I added just a touch of gray shading and pink on their cheeks.

A MB Happy Birthday Tab and a few daisies were tucked in to finish off those birthday wishes. I used the Daisy Trio die in single layers for my plaid flowers. Aren't they fun!

I hope this brought a smile to you today! Thank you so much for stopping by.

Nordic Frog Mom by Allison Frazier

Hello, Poppystamps friends! I am excited to be back on the blog today sharing some fun products from the Nordic Spring Release. This card features the Nordic Sitting Frog, along with a couple of the little Lily Pad Frogs. I thought it would be cute to make a Mother's Day card with these cuties!

I started my card with some of the pretty paper from the Glimmering Gladiola paper pad. I glued this paper to an A2 card base. I cut a smaller panel of white card stock using a stitched rectangle die from my stash. At the top of this panel, I stamped my sentiment. I could not find a "Happy Mother's Day" sentiment in my stash, but I think this worked out pretty well. After finishing up the sentiment, I glued the white panel to my card base.

I chose a couple of green shades of card stock for the frogs. I made the mommy frog darker so that she would stand out a bit more. I did use the same pale yellow for all of the frog's other features. I chose a couple shades of pink for the sweater. I assembled all of the frogs with liquid glue. I thought it would be cute to add in the adorable Dainty Mushrooms. I chose some complementary shades for the mushroom caps. I used the cream woodgrain paper for the mushroom bases to give them a bit more texture. I also added some distress ink around the edges just to make them stand out a bit more from the white card panel. 

I used a foam square behind the mushroom on the far right, as well as behind the frog that is on top of the mushroom. For everything else, I used liquid glue to adhere it to the white panel. I added some white dots to the mushrooms and to the black eyeballs, and that is it for my card! I hope it brings a smile to your face today. Thanks so much for joining us.

Frog Party! by Rachel Duong

Hooray--from all of us! It's Rachel here with a frog-filled card. Can you count them all? There are 5, and one is peeking out behind the double O's. The Poppystamps "Lily Pad Frog" die is light-hearted, fun, easy to put together and versatile. 

To create this card, I die cut five frogs and three lily pads from the Poppystamps "Lily Pad Frog" die. I used heavy white cardstock and loosely blended cool green distress inks over the pieces. A black sharpie fills in the area for the eyes. 

I die cut the confetti paper slightly smaller than a standard A2 card. The "Birthday Fun" patterned paper is fitting for these busy frogs. The gold metallic bits are festive and fun. I glued the card front onto a pale blue-green card stock.

Then I stamped the "hooray" sentiment in a light coral pink and cut it out with the coordinating die. I cut a few more sentiments and glued them together to add height and laid it in the center of my card. I arranged the frogs around the "Hooray" making sure one frog was upside down and another peeking out! I popped up the pieces with foam squares, glued it down, and the card is complete! 

I love the soft, light, pastel color scheme of this card. The Poppystamps "Lily Pad Frog" die is great on cards for all ages and celebrations. Thanks for stopping by, I hope you get a chance to see the Poppystamps newest release. Have a wonderful day!

Best Birthday Ever by Tricia Barber

Hello!  Tricia here today to share with you a birthday card made with the Basic Birthday Candles die and the Balloon Celebrations stamp and die set. I had so much fun creating these candles for a sparkly birthday card.  I started out die cutting the Basic Birthday Candle from pastel cardstock to match the paper pad called Birthday Fun.   I flipped through the paper pack and gathered some inspiration from the sherbert colors in this paper pad.   I ended up using a white with gold dots but I just loved the soft colors in this collection.   

I added details to the candles with alcohol markers and a white gel pen.  I used a black marker to darken the candle wick to mimic a burning candle.  I die cut the candle flame using gold and gold glimmer cardstock.   I adhere the candles directly to a card base that I covered with the Birthday Fun white and gold paper.  I trimmed off the excess of the candles at the bottom of the cardstock.   I added some clear glitter over several of the candles for a little more sparkle.   

I stamped a sentiment from the Balloon Celebrations stamp and die set.   I die cut this with a scalloped circle using the Scallop Pinpoint Rings die set. I layered the white circle with some foam adhesive.   Such a fun and happy birthday card for my stash!  I finished it off with another sentiment from the Balloon Celebrations set on the inside of the card.   I hope you have a wonderful crafty day!

Layered Floral Congrats Tags By Jyoti Adhikari

Creating handmade tags is a wonderful way to add a personal touch to any gift or celebration. Today, I’m sharing two beautifully layered tags—one in blue and green and the other in peach and orange. These tags feature delicate floral embellishments, a die-cut sentiment, and a layered design that gives them extra dimension. Let’s dive into the process of making these elegant tags!

Creating the Base Layers

To start, I selected two different color schemes—one in cool blue and green tones and the other in warm peach and orange. Each tag is composed of two layers: a smaller tag cut from patterned paper and a larger solid-colored tag to coordinate. The contrast between the patterned and solid cardstock helps the design stand out while keeping everything cohesive.

Adding the Die-Cut Sentiment

For a decorative touch, I used a Congrats Streamer Script  die to cut the sentiment along the side of the smaller tag. This technique adds an elegant detail and allows the solid background layer to peek through, enhancing readability. Once both layers were die-cut, I adhered the smaller patterned tag onto the larger solid tag, ensuring the alignment was just right. The layered effect adds depth and makes the design more visually interesting.

Die-Cutting and Coloring the Flowers

To decorate the tags, I used the Daisy Trio Craft Die to cut multiple flowers from white cardstock. For a natural and vibrant look, I colored the flower centers yellow using COPIC markers. The bright centers bring a touch of warmth and contrast to the crisp white petals. I carefully placed the flowers on each tag, adhering some with glue for a flat effect and others with foam tape to add dimension. 

Adding the Final Embellishments

To complete the tags, I added a few sparkling jewels as embellishments. These little details catch the light beautifully and give the tags an extra special touch.

These layered floral tags are perfect for celebrating a special occasion. The combination of patterned and solid cardstock, dimensional flowers, and a bold die-cut sentiment makes them both elegant and versatile. Whether used for a gift, party favor, or decoration, they bring a handmade charm that’s sure to be appreciated!

I hope you enjoyed this creative process. Which color combination do you like best—blue/green or peach/orange? Let me know in the comments!

Hugs,

Jyoti

Masculine Birthday Card by Allison Frazier

Hello, Poppystamps friends! I am excited to be back on the blog today sharing a masculine birthday card. It's definitely that time of year when I think about replenishing my stash of birthday cards, and I'm always in need of some masculine ones. Plus, anytime that I get to play with plaid paper is a win for me!

I started this card with the new Basic Birthday Candles set. I cut seven candles from various patterns from the Nutmeg Plaid paper pack from Memory Box. These plaids definitely have more autumn tones in them and could even be used for Christmas, but I love how they worked on this masculine card. I chose a deep green panel to set them against. I did stack each candle onto two more layers of cardstock to give the candles dimension, as well as give the candles a white wick. I just trimmed the wicks off of the plaid pieces when I glued the layers together. 

For the flames on the candles, I cut them out of white cardstock and then ink blended them with the following distress ink colors:  Scattered Straw, Crackling Campfire and Fired Brick. I added a thin foam dot behind the candles to pop them up on top of the wicks. 

For the sentiment, I chose the Happy Birthday Poe Script die. I cut it out from cream woodgrain paper, although you can't really see the detail of it in the picture. I stacked this layer on top of two more layers that I had cut from white card stock. I then added very thin foam strips to the backs of the letters that weren't overlapping the candles. I carefully adhered the words, using liquid glue for the portion that did overlap the candles. 

That is it for my card today. I hope it brings a smile to your face. Thanks so much for joining us today.
