Nordic Bells
by Rachel Duong

IMG_6750

Dashing through the snow... Fall is in the air but before long, the leaves will blow away and the snow will fall. Hi crafty friends! It's Rachel here with a colorful holiday card with musical bells taking center stage.  I love the warm, cozy feels of this time of year. What better time to start crafting in preparation for all the hustle and bustle ahead?! The Poppystamps "Nordic Bell" is a definite "must have" die. If you keep scrolling, you will find one more card using these bells for another celebration.

To create this card I die cut the "Nordic Bell" in platinum, red and green glitter paper. I used gold mirrored cardstock for the bells. I glued the pieces together and set them aside. Next I chose a beautiful poinsettia printed paper and cut it just slightly smaller than a white A2 card base and glued them together.

I die cut the "Scallop Pinpoint Rings" in white and then again in a thick vellum. I glued the center pieces of white cardstock on the base and then the vellum circles over it. The last ring in white cardstock is glued over the vellum one. Finally I chose the "Jingle All The Way" gold foiled sentiment strip. I placed it  under the bells, overlapping the circle.

I love this card and I can hear the bells ringing in the distance.

I made a second card using the Poppystamps "Nordic Bell" die in gold and silver. What a beautiful wedding card! It is classic, elegant and love the detail.

I die cut the bells in platinum glitter, gold and silver mirrored card stock and another gold bow from the Poppystamps "Nordic Wreath and Bow". Next I die cut the "Nordic Fancy Background" die in white and adhered it onto a creme A2 card base. Finally I chose a "Sending Warm Wishes gold foiled sentiment strip.IMG_6747This card is so pretty and just perfect for a happy couple! I love the background overlay die so much. It reminds me of beautiful lace. IMG_6758

The Poppystamp "Nordic Bell" die is timeless. I am excited to use it in many ways. One card that comes to mind is that if I know wedding colors ahead of the occasion, the bells can be personalized to match the wedding colors!

Until next time, enjoy your day and hope you have time to get crafty!

Whimsical Hugs and Kisses
By Lisa Elton

24  0729  013 copyReady for a bit of whimsy? The new Large Mushroom House is filled with possibilities! I couldn't resist giving mine a red polka dot roof and a couple of furry friends.

24  0729  009 copyThe Mushroom house stem was die cut from kraft paper then shading was added with Copic Markers. Vellum was adhered to the back of each window with a golden yellow cardstock layered behind it for that magical glow. This polka dot red roof  just makes me happy! The house was added to the Harvest Oval Frame (currently on sale and worth every penny!) cut from Memory Box plaid paper. I snipped a few pieces from the top of the frame to let the mushroom complete the oval.

24  0729  012 copyEverything was added to a top fold marshmallow card base. I rounded the top corners with a punch to keep that oval flow going. A couple of Whittle Squirrels are frolicking about. I think they have their eye on that acorn!

24  0729  013 copyLittle Layered Asters were cut from white cardstock then colored with a Copic Marker to get the same blush tone of the polka dots on the roof.

24  0729  014 copy
I tucked in those pieces cut from the oval frame along with a few more polka dot berry branches (from the same frame) cut from roof scraps. The Sentimental Banners sentiment was positioned to follow the bottom curve of the house.

24  0729  013 copyToday is my late father-in-law's birthday. He used to enjoy sitting in his recliner watching the squirrels out his front window. I think he would have enjoyed a scene like this one. Hugs and kisses to you, dad and a happy heavenly birthday!

Bird Wishes
by Rachel Duong

IMG_5788

Hi everyone! It's Rachel here sharing a beautiful floral and fauna wedding card with you. I used Poppystamps "Nordic Majestic Bloom" die set and painted the images with metallic paints.

IMG_5776

To create this card, I die cut the "Nordic Majestic Bloom" set with watercolor paper. I die cut the birds three times for three sets of birds. I watercolored the pieces and then added a layer of pearl metallic paints. IMG_5766

The metallic shine is perfect for a wedding card. 
IMG_5766Next I stamped the sentiment and die cut it out. I watercolored over it too. 

IMG_5776

Then I die cut the largest frame from the "Doubled Scalloped Stitched Frames"out of Ivory card stock. I assebled and glued it all down on white cardstock. 
IMG_5623

Painting these birds were was fun creating color combinations.

I hope you love this card as much as I do. The layer of metallic paint really gives this Poppystamps wedding card a special shine.

That's all for now. Until next time, have a wonderful day!

Wedding Cards using the Nordic Border Craft Die Set

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

 

Remember the card I made a few weeks ago? The Delicate Lace Card using the Nordic Border die set? Well, as usual - since I had the supplies out already, I cut out a lot more than I actually needed. And I figured, since these have the wedding vibe, why not make a wedding card? So, here I am with two wedding easel cards using the lacy goodness from the Nordic Border die set!

 

 

 

 

The prep work for this was pretty much the exact same as the Delicate Lace Card. The only difference is, once I had a panel with a number of rows of the border die cuts, I ran them through the die cutting machine again using the top tier and bottom tier cake dies from the 2469 Floral Cake Pop Up Easel craft die. The panel I had was very long enough for me to squeeze two top tiers and one bottom tier, so I figured I'd make two cake cards. I used some pattern paper with flock on it for the bottom tier of the gold cake card.

 

 

 

 

I couldn't make up my mind on the gold glitter card stock and the silver, so I figured I'd make one of each. I cut the glitter card stock from the GP1006 Festive Glitter Pad using the 2466 Layer Cake Drip Icing craft die for the icing on the cakes.

 

 

 

 

For the sentiment, I utilized the 2555 Sending Love Poe Script craft die. I cut some with the same glitter card stock that I used for the icing. However, to add a splash of color, I also cut some from festive green and festive red glitter card stock from the same pad. These colors happen to be the favorites and/or birthstone colors of my cousins and their fiancés, so it seemed like the perfect choice!

 

 

 

 

The rest of the card came together pretty much the same way as the other easel cards that the design team has made in the past. I had the hearts left over from the sentiment die cuts, so I used those on the inside as stoppers.

 

 

 

 

I couldn't help but take a whole bunch of pictures of these, so enjoy these scrolling gallery of pictures!

Delicate Lace Card using the Nordic Border Craft Die Set
by Sphoorti

204C208B-69DE-4ADF-B166-4B3BF3CE1DDB

 

Hello Poppy Peeps!

 

It's Sphoorti with a quick and easy card that takes very little time and still looks very elegant. Here's how to do it!

 

2676D8DC-ADC0-49A0-9DB9-A59A7D47A28F

 

I started with the 2595 Nordic Border Set craft die and cut some plain white cardstock as well as some vellum paper. Little tip: If you fold Vellum over a few times and then die cut it, you'll get multiples at once!

 

6147DC7F-AA18-48E3-9B75-CBEF7D6293AB

 

I applied some liquid glue and/or some dry adhesive at the tops of the borders and laid them on top of each other in a cascading effect starting from the bottom. I alternated between the vellum and the solid white cardstock, and I also used both rectangular options in the 2595 Nordic Border Set craft die.

 

23C0B3FF-8E21-4C20-B500-79746DED2D80

 

After getting to about three quarters to the top, I took some glitter cardstock and adhered it to the panel.

 

BCCA56B5-648D-460D-B6B2-E383928EB055

 

I used some Perfect Pearls in gold and in the Perfect Pearl colors to splatter some of that glittery goodness all over the laces. (I got some unintentionally on the glitter cardstock too, but hey, as long as it glitters!)

 

 

 

 

I took the 2555 Sending Love Poe Script craft die and cut out two, one from some gold glitter cardstock, and one from some silver glitter. I cut out the word "love" from the sentiment and adhered them together slightly offset. I adhered this sentiment at the top right above the gold glitter band, and that was it!

What do you guys think? I think it would make an awesome card for a wedding, don't you?

A Bride and Frankenstein
by Rachel Duong

 

IMG_9660 

Greetings! It's not an ordinary-kind-of-day card, it's Frankenstein and Corpse Bride celebrating their wedding anniversary. This is a mix of many fabulous Poppystamps dies, paper, and embellishments from the new Fall release. These "Whittles" characters have so many infinite possibilities!

IMG_9663

Please keep reading for directions on how I made this card... if you dare!

IMG_9643

1. Die cut the "Whittle Witch" and the "Whittle Creatures" die sets onto watercolor paper or heavy cardstock. Additionally you can die cut an extra forehead for Frankenstein if you want it to stick out!

IMG_9588 (1)

2. Die cut Frankenstein's clothes and hair with black shiny, metallic paper from the "Rainbow Reflections Mirror Pad". Then die cut the Corpse Bride's dress and shoes with glitter paper from the "Delicate Pastel Glitter Pad". (Papers listed below)
3. Color the faces and foreheads of both figures and don't forget the legs and bangs of the bride. I used markers but watercolor would work just as well.
4. Cut sections from a pale blue organza ribbon for the Corpse Bride's dress and veil. Witchy tip: cut the dress' ribbon a little longer to leave room for glue.
5. Cut two shades of pale blue embroidery thread for the Corpse Bride's hair.

IMG_9641

6. Hot foil and die cut the "Best Wishes" sentiment from "Modest Greetings 1" in gold and frame it with a slightly larger piece of cardstock.
7. Die cut the smaller piece of the two "Layer Cake Drip Icing" die set with glitter paper and the spiderweb from "Halloween Assemblage" in cardstock. 
8. Cut a gray rectangle of cardstock from the Earth Neutral Collection slightly smaller than an A2 card and adhere to a white base.
9. Glue the figures and the coordinating pieces down. 
10. Place a "Fairy Jewel" on the sentiment piece to finish the card.

IMG_9657

This card was enchanting to craft. It will be perfect for the couple who welcomes a Halloween or Fall themed wedding. I love that it is clean and simple, yet silly and fun. Thank you for visiting and now I am off to another festivity!
