Poppystamps New Release: Yee-Haw!
Today, I’m sharing another card created with dies from the new Poppystamps release.
I wanted to create a masculine birthday card with the Galloping Stallion as the focus. I used the Happy Birthday die for a tone-on-tone background. The “yee-haw” sentiment was created on my computer. I die-cut the Superstar Border several times to create a few accent stars.
Supplies: Poppystamps Galloping Stallion 996, Happy Birthday Background 990, Superstar Border 912
Poppystamps New Release: Congrats!
This week and next, the Poppystamps Design Team is showing off the new Poppystamps release with a Blog Blitz. Today, I’m sharing a card created with one of the new Memory Box stencils, combining it with die cuts from Poppystamps, including the new Barnyard Rooster.
I dry-embossed the stencil and used its reverse side as a background on my card to simulate chicken coop wire. I created the “Congrats!” sentiment on my computer. The inside sentiment reads “That’s something to crow about!”
You have the opportunity to win one of the new products by leaving a comment on the Blog Blitz posts between January 6-19 over on the Poppystamps blog. You have until midnight on January 24 to leave a comment. Winners will be announced on January 27. I’m offering the new Honey Comb stencil as my prize – head over to the Poppystamps blog to leave a comment to be eligible to win it.

Happy Winter
Today I’m sharing a seasonal card celebrating winter as I transition from making holiday cards, which isn’t easy! It seems as if I’ve been making holiday cards for months at this point.
This card came together quickly with the use of die cuts and an embossing folder background. The sentiment is a retired Savvy stamp, which I die cut with the smallest die from the MFT tag set.
Hope you’re enjoying these last few days of 2013!

Season’s Greetings
Merry Christmas! Today, I’m sharing a die-cut holiday card inspired by the homes of Edgartown, Martha’s Vineyard. Edgartown is filled with stately, white clapboard Federal-style mansions of the whaling captains.
I began the wreath by cutting a circle outline with the two smallest circles in the Sizzix die cuts out of Craft-a-Board. This served as a base for the wreath onto which I added the holly leaves cut from Dill cardstock. I finished off the wreath with a red bow. To keep with the colors of the New England homes, I cut the door twice, once from white and again from black cardstock. I trimmed off the molding from the black door and adhered it to the white door. Since I was creating a card without a sentiment, I dry embossed the card base with the “Christmas Words” folder.
