Poppystamps: Autumn Thanks

Today I’m sharing a card crafted with some of the new-release Poppystamps products. While a lot of the new collection focuses on the winter holidays, the Viva Tree die caught my eye for a fall-themed card.

Poppystamps: Autumn Thanks

I love the colors of the autumn season! I die cut the tree four times and then selectively cut leaves and adhered them to the tree “base” using Glossy Accents. The background was created by sponging Distress Ink through a circle mask. For the “thank you” sentiment, I masked off part of the “So Much” sentiment stamp to keep it simple!

Poppystamps: Merry

Today I’m sharing another card as part of the “blog blitz” celebrating the brand-new Poppystamps collection of 74 dies and 20 cling stamps.

Poppystamps: Merry

On my CAS holiday card in traditional colors, I combined the small poinsettia die with the cursive Merry die. For the two smaller flowers, I simply left off the largest, outermost flower – the die cuts the center, three flower layers, and a leaf. I cut the merry die several times in Parchment and once in Squash cardstock, then I adhered the layers together, in order to give more dimension to the sentiment. I use Ranger Glossy Accents – it dries fast and clear.

I’m giving away the cursive Merry die – to enter the giveaway, comment on my post over on the Poppystamps blog. While you’re there, leave a comment (unless you’ve already done so) on the other blog posts that are part of the “blog blitz.” You have until September 20th to leave comments for your chance to win.

Poppystamps: Woodland Fawn

I shared my Poppystamps project using the new Woodland Fawn die in this post. I couldn’t resist playing with the die some more, pairing it with another die from the brand-new collection of 74 dies and 20 cling stamps.

Poppystamps: Woodland Fawn

The diamond background is subtle but makes the card so elegant. I carefully adhered the background to a cardstock base with Glossy Accents, placing a drop on each of the diamond points and along the edge.

For the center “ornament” I placed the fawn die inside a circle die, using washi tape to keep them together, and cut Juniper cardstock. I then adhered the metallic fawn, which I’d cut separately, inside the circle, adding its scarf to the top.

You have until September 20th to comment on all of the new release aka “blog blitz” posts on the Poppystamps blog to win a die or stamp. I’ll be back tomorrow with another new release project that I’ll be sharing on the Poppystamps blog.

Poppystamps: Fawn in the Forest

Have you heard the news? Poppystamps has released a brand-new collection of 74 dies and 20 cling stamps just in time for holiday crafting. There’s a “blog blitz” over on the Poppystamps blog until September 17th – be sure to comment on the posts at Poppystamps for a chance to win a die or stamp.

Poppystamps: Fawn in the Forest

There’s a whole set of forest trees (Fremont Pine) in the new release that “play well together.” As I’m surrounded by evergreen here in the Pacific Northwest, and deer as well, I couldn’t resist combining tree die cuts with the fawn in traditional holiday colors! I think this would be a fun card to send for the holidays or anytime in the fall and winter months. Comment on my post over on the Poppystamps blog for a chance to win the Woodland Fawn die.

Rainy Day: A Poppystamps Project

Today, I’m sharing a Poppystamps project. We’ve had a spectacular summer in the Pacific Northwest, but all good things do come to an end, and rainy days are just around the corner. For this card, I wanted to create a warm, inviting interior that said, “Even if it’s raining, it’s still cheery inside my home.”

Rainy Day: A Poppystamps Project

I know that an open umbrella is considered “bad luck” by some. I just couldn’t resist adding a bright pop of color to the scene.

The chair was stamped on patterned paper and die cut with its matching die. I paper pieced the pillow.
