Hello crafty friends and welcome to another day of Poppystamps Blog Blitz featuring Summer 2018 release!

I am showcasing and GIVING AWAY the magnificent GRACEFUL HERON craft die:

All you have to do for a chance to win is to leave a comment down below by July 4. Don't forget to visit other posts of Blog Blitz as each of them has a giveaway!

I have used this die as a focal image for a card that I've made. A project like this does not require a lot of other supplies but dies – some white and ivory cardstock plus a bit of vellum, one pad of Distress Ink and some liquid glue – that's all it takes!

Scroll down for some close ups of the project as well as the beginning to end VIDEO tutorial!

Thank you so much for stopping by and welcome back tomorrow for another day of Blog Blitz!

  5. Olga, you’re right there are not a lot of supplies used but your card design and the wonderful details make this a gorgeous and elegant piece of art! I’ve said it before but am still amazed at your ability to see other uses/designs with dies that I never notice or can’t see beyond the primary purpose, as in the use of Splasing Puddles here today! So awesome!

  36. Fabulous Olga! Ten thumbs up! And I love the ring left from Mr. Heron lifting out of the overhang! You capture all aspects of birds taking off! The mind swims with ideas…at least for you. Thank you for the new idea.

  37. Great tutorial and gorgeous card! Love your use of vellum here and the way it draws attention to the focal point. The soft ink blending on ivory is the perfect touch for the background. I wouldn’t have thought to offset the window but it’s really works with this job. Thanks so much for sharing your beautiful work and creativity!

  38. I love your gorgeous, elegant card!!! My favorite kind of card to make is with very little or no stamping and dies like these make that so easy!!!

  49. You have the most extraordinary creativity. I love how you combined these 2 dies together as they go together so well.

  50. Oh, Olga, this is one of my very favorite critters as they are so graceful and beautiful. We just had a blue heron on our front lawn the other day, and it occurred to me I didn’t remember seeing herons in the stamping circle of goodies (stamps or dies). Can’t say that anymore! Great card design, too.

  53. Such elegance! The soft pink background, the vellum, the graceful heron; just beautiful!

  54. Lovely card. I like the soft look it has. Herons are beautiful birds, it is always a joy to see them.

  57. Oh wow–just gorgeous! I love herons–have one for yard decor & always have my eyes open to see them, so really I “need” to have a heron die! Thanks for a chance to win this one!

  59. Another beautiful work of art, Olga! Your creativity is amazing. Love this Heron, too.

  64. I discovered this die the other day and it immediately went on my wish list. It has an Art Deco look to it. I think it would look elegant paired with Memory Box Riverbank Oval die.
