What a great day for a visit! We're celebrating the latest Poppystamps release of 17 new dies with a blog blitz. We'll be featuring the new dies on posts through November 12 and offering up some wonderful prizes. Today I'm showing you the new Fancy Thanks die! I thought it would look so pretty paired…
Hi friends! Jeanne here today! I’ve been playing around with backrgound dies more lately. They’re a big investment, certainly the more expensive dies, but you have to consider they are large enough to cover an A2 (4 1/4 x 5 1/2″) size card, and have lots of versatility.

2 Jeanne here today! Can you feel it? Fall is in the air! I'm loving the new Poppystamps Leaf dies – there are three different shapes – Aspen, Beech, and Maple. Each one has a separate inlaid area with a skinny outline which is perfect for adding layers of color. I used the Bailiwick…
Hi! Jeanne here today! I've made a fall card featuring an inlaid starburst design. Color block patterns are a great way to add color and interest and use up some scraps too! You can use this technique with just about any shaped die. To start, just cut some strips of paper 1"…
Jeanne here today! Do you have a camper in your family? Every summer for as along as I can remember I've made a happy camper card for my son. He started in scouting in 5th grade and has been fortunate to see so much of our beautiful country. He's older now, but he still…
