Right as Rain

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.”

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.

Today I’m sharing a creation for Poppystamps. I’ve had the idea for this card in my head for quite awhile. There’s a place where we walk Ginger, our golden retriever, that I wanted to capture on a card.

Taking some artistic license, I added the birds for a seasonal touch. We’ve been seeing both crows and red-winged blackbirds in abundance recently, and the bit of licorice cardstock helps anchor the brighter colors. To capture the grasses in the photo, I used Squash and Meadow cardstock cut with the grassland border die.
