I have been making cards for a very long time – and I still love doing it. One of the many reasons I love it is the ability to truly customize a card for the recipient. I have a co-worker’s birthday this week and I have been stumped. I don’t know her well. I do…
There are slimline dies in the new spring release at Poppystamps!! Today I am playing with the Leafy Vines Slim Plate. I had a number of ideas and just couldn’t decide whether to use it vertically or horizontally so I did both! Using it vertically felt like branches for birds. Earlier this week there was amazing…
Happy Monday morning! Sue here with an easy card that you can make very quickly using a stencil. I know sometimes we all need a card at the last minute and I find stencils can help create a card in a few minutes. Today I’m using the Bright Blossoms Stencil on a square white card…
Hello everyone! I’m here with a reminder about Poppystamps January Challenge, Monochrome. This has to be one of my favourite colour schemes because I’m not so great at using lots of different colours on one card (unless it’s a rainbow). Monochrome is defined as a project created in shades of black and white or in…
Hi everyone, Sue here with a reminder about the monthly challenge going on at Poppystamps. This month the theme is Think Pink which also coincides with Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Think about pulling out different shades of pink cardstock or ink, paints or alcohol inks. Whatever you can think of. I made a shaker card…

Hello everyone! For today’s card I’ve played with a couple of shimmery watercolor pigment powders and some Memory Box products. I first white heat embossed the flowers on watercolor cardstock. I carefully dabbed the colors on and spritzed with water. With a paper towel I dried off the edges and any spots that were too…
Happy Monday crafters! Today I’m using some of Poppystamps wide washi tape for my card design. I started by taking some of the Cornelia Variegated Wide Washi Tape (this washi tape is available in 3 colours and two widths) and adhering it to white cardstock for die cutting. I die cut the Leafy Garden Border…
Hello Poppy fans! Today I’m sharing a 5-for-1 card series using the Flora bloom solids. First I taped the dies together with washi tape to make sure they’d cut exactly the same place with each cut. Then I chose 5 colors of cardstock and cut the flowers. I then adhered them to a cardbase in…
