Winter Friends by Tricia Barber

Hello all!  I have a winter friends card to share with you today.  I am feeling all the plaids for this winter so I started with a plaid background from Yuletide Plaid paper pack from Memory Box.   To create my scene I die cut from white and glitter white cardstock the Nordic Treeline Craft die and used this as my background.  I layered some of the glittered die cuts on top to mimic ice and snow. 

For the scene, I die cut the Nordic Playful Penguin and the Nordic Happy Snowman using the Leafy and Lagoon paper packs.   I built each of the images up and used my markers to color in the nose, eyes and penguin feet.   I made sure to match up some of the colored cardstock on each so that they went well together.   I layered these onto some cardstock strips.   

To finish off my card, I stamped and die cut a greeting from the Holiday Banners Clear stamp and die set.  I hope you have a wonderful day!

Cozy Christmas Card Featuring Nordic Wonderland by Jyoti Adhikari

The holiday season is just around the corner, and what better way to kick off your Christmas crafting than with a cozy, handmade card? Today, I'm excited to share a step-by-step guide to creating a charming Christmas card using some of the latest supplies from Poppystamps. This card features a delightful brown bear, decked out in a pink winter outfit, set against a beautiful Nordic-inspired background. Let's dive into the process!

Crafting the Adorable Bear

To start, I turned my attention to the star of the card: the cute Nordic Bundled Bear. I die-cut the various pieces using the craft die and carefully assembled them to create a cozy brown bear. To give the bear a festive twist, I dressed it in a soft pink outfit that contrasts beautifully with the brown fur. The combination of colors really brings this little bear to life, making it a perfect focal point for the card.

Creating the Wintery Background 

With the bear ready, I moved on to crafting the card's background. I began by dry embossing a light blue panel using the Nordic Bloom stencil. This technique added subtle, intricate details to the background, giving it a frosty, wintery feel that complements the bear's cozy outfit. The light blue color adds a gentle, wintry atmosphere, perfect for the holiday season.

Adding Fir Trees 

To enhance the wintery scene, I added a few fir trees using the Nordic Treeline craft die. These trees were placed strategically on top of the embossed panel, creating depth and adding a touch of nature to the card. The simple yet elegant design of the trees blends seamlessly with the Nordic theme, making the scene feel complete.

Finishing Touches

No card is complete without a sentiment and a few finishing touches. I decided to frame the card by adding borders along the top and bottom edges using the Nordic Wintertide Border die. The borders tie the whole design together, giving it a polished look. For the sentiment, I chose a classic "Merry Christmas" die, cutting it from pink cardstock to match the bear's outfit. The sentiment was then placed prominently on the card, completing the festive design.

Hugs,

Jyoti

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!

Gnome Home by Birgit Norton

Hello Poppystamps peeps!  Have you been enjoying the newest release from Poppystamps?  I sure have!  I knew I wanted to use this darling Large Mushroom House first.  Let's get started and I'll show you how this card came together.

I cut the Mushroom House elements out of white, grey and red cardstock and added a bit of Distress Oxide Ink to the sides of the mushroom stem and assembled the mushroom.  I colored a scrap of vellum paper with a yellow Copic marker and adhered the vellum behind the windows and door.

I created the background for the mushroom house by blending Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Dusty Concord Distress inks and then sprinkled it with water to create watermarks for a starry sky.  I also splattered on some white paint to add clarity to the stars.

I cut the Nordic Forest Gnome out of dark blue, light blue and white cardstock and colored the face using Copic Markers and assembled the Forest Gnome with liquid glue.

I decided Mr. Gnome needed more color so I cut the hat elements out of red and white cardstock, which added just the right pop of color.  I also painted white spots onto the mushroom cap.

I think this card turned out super cute.  It reminds me of the old German and Norwegian Christmas cards from the late 1800's to the mid 1950's.

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!
