Garden Variety Release Blog Blitz
by Nancy Penir

Flowers, Friendship, Scene, Spring

Hello and welcome to Poppy’s newest dies and stamps and papers and washi… well you get the idea, it’s Blog Blitz time, and it’s called, ‘Garden Variety’. Win, win for you. A chance to win, and to see all the new, together with lots of inspiration and ideas.

I’m showcasing ‘Proper Brick House’, a 3 piece die set, that allows you to be as detailed and creative as your paper crafting mind can take you! And the die set you could win. Take a look!

The possibilities for being creative with this die are mind bending! I decided to go all out and use those tiny bricks on my house.

I die cut the house 3 times, using 3 different colored card stock. Note: if you want most of the bricks to stay, add a sheet of printer paper behind your card stock. Also helps to have this handy dandy brush tool to quickly remove all those tiny bricks. One other note, I traced around the die, so I’d have a solid piece of a little bit darker pink to glue down my bricks. Same with the chimney.

If you love paper piecing with pattern, you’re gonna love Memory Box’s new paper packs!

I gave my Proper Brick House a bit more dimension by adding fussy cut windows and door. You don’t have to do this step, but wow, does it make that sweet house pop!

No foam tape for my mini dwelling, just layer on layer, on layer!
