Celebrating Gnomes and Ice Cream
by Birgit Norton

IMG_7560

Hello Poppystamps friends and crafters!  Birgit here with you today with a quick and easy card featuring the Nordic Dancing Gnome and his Grand Whittle Ice Cream.

The Nordic Gnomes are part of the Nordic Wonderland release, which is new in the store.  The Nordic Dancing Gnome is so fun!  I cut the pieces for the dancing gnome out of navy and light blue and white cardstock.

I colored the face using Copic markers and then assembled the Nordic Dancing Gnome.  I decided that he needed more color, so I cut his hat out using scraps of green cardstock from my stash.

I also cut and assembled the Grand Whittle Ice Cream, giving him something to hold.  An ice cream this large is a good reason to do the "happy dance"!  Don't you think?

For the background, I cut a piece of plaid paper from the Anemone Plaid 6x6 paper pack and a circle using Scallop Pinpoint Rings and a piece of green from the 6x6 Greenery cardstock pack.

I assembled the card and added a sentiment banner using a sentiment from the Birthday Banners to finish this card off.

Oink for Birthday Fun
By Meghan Kennihan

Final_9Hi Crafty Friends,
I'm sharing a darling Birthday Card using the Poppy Stamps Floral Cake Pop-Up Easel Die. I made for my father's birthday. He LOVES pigs and the Poppy Stamps Whittle Pig Die is my favorite animal of the Poppy Stamps Whittle Collection. This card is perfect for the Poppy Stamps August Challenge Anything Goes! I would love to have you join us! Later, this month I'll be showing off Christmas cards so it truly is ANYTHING GOES this month.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What is your favorite whittle animal?
A: Me? The Pig

Step #1: I started my card by die cutting the base of the Floral Cake Pop Up Easel out of kraft paper and using the Poppy Stamps Layer Cake Drip Icing in chocolate cardstock to mimic the mud that piggies love.

IMG_2710Step #2: I die cut the cake pieces out of shimmery light pink paper so that the metallic pigs would pop from it.

IMG_2710Step #3: I mounted all the pieces together so that I had my base cake to decorate with pigs and banners. I used the Poppy Stamps Vintage Mirror 6x6 Paper Pad and die cut 3 of the Poppy Stamp Whittle Pigs in a darker shade of pink and mounted them on each layer of the cake and one on the inside.

IMG_2711Step #4: I added the Poppy Stamps Birthday Banners at the top of my card and bottom layer of cake

I'm Bananas for You
by Meghan Kennihan

Final (2)Hi Crafty Friends,
I used the Poppy Stamps Whittle Pirate Monkey Kit to make this BANANAS card. Could these monkeys be any cuter?!?!

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Have you ever seen a monkey in the wild? Not a the zoo
A: Me? No, but maybe one day I'll go on a safari!

Final_2 (2)I started by paper piecing the monkeys together from brown and kraft cardstock which was tedious but worth it for those little faces. Then I die cut a bunch of bananas for the monkeys to hang off.
Final_2 (2)I die cut the word bananas from the Poppy Stamps Marzipan Alphabet Dies and arranged them along the edge of the Poppy Stamps Scallop Pinpoint Rings Die set.
Final_3 (2)I mounted my scene on the pattern paper from Memory Box Glimmering Gladiola 6x6 Paper Pad. I love the gold bursts. I finished my card by stamping the "I'm Bananas for You" sentiment.

Wish We Were Together

Hello there!  I am sharing a slimline card using the Whittle Racing Giraffe Kit!   There are many ways that you can color your die cuts and today, I used a combination of ink blending and alcohol markers with my colored cardstock to create this card.   I pulled some scraps from my scrap pile and used my scraps to create this card.   I typically cut more than I need as I am adding details, I may make changes.  Worst case, I have few extras for the next card. 

IMG_5018

I die cut a white card panel 3 3/4 inches by 8 1/4 inches.  I ink blended the sky and grass onto the card panel.   I created my dirt road with some kraft cardstock and added some ink blending to the edges.   I adhered this directly to the card panel.   I then started building my scene to figure out how many giraffe's, trees, cars and clouds I could use.   Next I determined where I would stamp my sentiment.  

IMG_5019

I typically don't have a plan until I can start placing my die cuts around and start to see the scene come together.  I love to have my images go beyond the panel like the second giraffe with this head going above the card, having the cloud and tree extend beyond the sides.   For mailing, I would use a large envelope and will add a piece of cardstock to the envelope slightly larger than my card to help provide support to the inside of the card.   I used a combination of ink blending to each of the die cuts and then added more details to the giraffes with my alcohol markers and adding little bits of extra card stock behind the mouths of each one with darker cardstock. 

IMG_5020

To finish off my slimline card, I added some Fairy Jewels.   What are your tips for adding color to your die cuts? Hope you have a wonderful day!

Later, Gator
by Meghan Kennihan

FinalHi Crafty Friends,
Have you seen Poppy Stamps Whittle Kits? I am showing off the NEW Tropical Gator Kit. It comes with all the cute dies to make a tropical summer scene with a fun sentiment stamp set too.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: Do you like card kits or do you prefer to buy products separately?
A: Me? Both!

Final_2I started my card by putting together the alligators with their pink tie, bow tie, and hula hoop. I used Poppy Stamps Double Scalloped Stitched Frame Dies for my blue and green frame.
Final_2I put the water dies at the bottom of my frame and added the palm trees to the center. Then I arranged the alligators across the card with the the cute sentiment in the top left corner and the "Hoop to it" next to the hula hooping alligator. I finished my card by adding white highlights to the dies to give them some dimension.
