Painted Poppies

Hi friends,

It’s Remembrance Day in Australia on Friday which made me think about the Poppies from the Painted Poppies stamp set (#151599) which I haven’t used for some time.

I stamped the smaller poppies along the bottom of the Basic White card front (#159228) with Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). Then I stamped the taller poppies using the masking method. The poppies were coloured with Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899) and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154458). The leaves and stems were coloured with Old Olive Stampin’ Blends (#154892).

The card front was matted with Basic Black card (#121688). The Real Red Ribbon from the Real Red & Garden Green Ribbon Combo Pack (#159577) was wrapped around the card, then this was attached to the Basic White base card.

“Just A Note” from the Go To Greetings stamp set (#158763) was stamped with Real Red ink (#147084) and cut with a Frosted Flurry Die (#159811). The die cut Poppy was cut with the Poppy Moments Dies (#151594). I used Real Red card (#106578) and Basic Black card which was backed with Adhesive sheet (#152334). This poppy and the sentiment were attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430).

Poppy Moments Dies

Hello again,

A bright & glittery card with the Black Glitter Paper (#153518), the Rainbow Glimmer Paper (#153056) and the 3/8” Glittered Organdy Ribbon (#147897).

Firstly I stamped the small poppies from the Painted Poppies stamp set (#c151599) using Tuxedo Black Memento ink (#132708). These were coloured with Real Red Stampin’ Blends (#154899) and Poppy Parade Stampin’ Blends (#154958). I attached the piece of In Good Taste Designer Series Paper (#152494) to the Whisper White card (#106549), then this was attached to the Basic Black card (#121688). I wrapped the ribbon around the card before attaching the cardfront the the Whisper White base card. The die cut poppy was cut with the Poppy Moments Dies (#151594). The base was cut from the Red Velvet Paper and the detailed piece was cut from the Black Glitter Paper. These were attached together and onto the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). I used Silver Foil Sheet (#132178) for the poppy centre and attached this with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The leaves were cut from the Rainbow Glimmer Paper and also attached with glue dots. The sentiment is in the Many Mates stamp set (#c152633) and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). A Stitched Nested Labels die (#149638) was used to cut the sentiment, I sponged the edges with Real Red ink and attached it to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals. 

Enjoy your day, stay safe and keep crafting!!

Box card

Welcome friends,

If you like fancy fold cards here is a Box card, and it’s not too hard to make but looks impressive.

I cut the Whisper White card (#106549) 6” x10-1/2” to make the box. This was scored on the long side at 2-1/2”, 5”, 7-1/2” and 10”. I then scored on the short side at 3-1/4”. See diagram below.

You need 2 pieces of Whisper White card cut at 3-1/2” x 1/2” and scored at 1/2” at each end. These are for inside the box to attach the flowers etc to.

Assemble the box so that the front and sides fold down and the back piece stands up.. 

I then attached pieces of Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper to the inside of the back, the flaps and under the flaps.

I stamped the small daisies from the Daisy Lane stamp set (#c149325) using Daffodil Delight ink (#147094), Terracotta Tile ink (#150086) and Gold Embossing Powder. These were punched with the Medium Daisy Punch (#149517) and I used 2 flowers to assemble each daisy. I attached each daisy to a small strip of Window Sheet (#142314) and attached them to the pieces of card inside the box. I cut the leaves using the dies from the Poppy Moments (#151594) using Mossy Meadow card (#133683), Old Olive (#106576) and Pear Pizzaz (#131290). “Happy Birthday” is cut with the retired Happy Birthday die from Terracotta Tile card (#150890) and glued this to the back of the card with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755). I added retired Gold Faceted Gems to the centre of the daisies.

Have a great day.

Poppy Wreath

Hello and welcome,

Tomorrow is Anzac Day so I have made this beautiful wreath using the Poppy Moments Dies (#151594).

My husband cut a piece of ply into a 30cm circle and I covered it with Basic Black card (#121688). I made the poppies using Cherry Cobbler card (#121681), Poppy Parade card (#121694) and Basic Black for the centres. For the leaves I used Pear Pizzaz card (#131290) and Garden Green card (#108605). All the pieces for the flowers and leaves were cut with the Poppy Moments Dies. The poppies were attached with Multipurpose Liquid Glue (#110755) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and the leaves were attached with Mini Glue Dots (#103683). The letters were cut from Whisper White card and glued to Basic Black card. The ends of the black card was punched with the Banner Triple Punch (#138292) and this was also attached with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I have placed this wreath at the end of our driveway, as we remember those who fought for us.

Stay safe and keep crafting!!

Poppy Moments Dies with Pigment Sprinkles

Hello,

I love it when a card comes together so easily. I was cleaning up (a never ending job around here) as I always have “leftovers”. As I moved a piece of card, these outlines of the poppies were sitting on this card which I had coloured with Pigment Sprinkles, and thought, that would be a lovely card. So here it is.

I had lightly sprinkled the Mango Melody and Daffodil Delight Pigment Sprinkles (149663) onto a piece of Shimmery White card (#121717). This was then sprayed  with water using a Stampin’ Spritzer (#126185), then I used the Heat Tool (#129056) to set and dry it. The poppies were cut with the Poppy Moments Dies (#151594) from Basic Black card (#121688) and I glued them to the card with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309). The centres of the poppies are from Mango Melody card (#147013). “Happy Birthday” from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with VersaMark (#102283) and embossed with Black Stampin’ Emboss Powder (#146956) and set with the Heat Tool. I used a die from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690) to cut the sentiment and sponged the edges with Mango Melody ink (#147093). This was attached to the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430). The ribbon is Whisper White 1/4” Crinkled Seam Binding (#151326) and the Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels (#150457) adds a sparkle to the card. Whisper White card (#106549) was used for the base and Basic Black to matt the card front.

Enjoy your day.

Poppy Moments Dies

Hello again friends,

These poppies and leaves are only using the Poppy Moments Dies (#151594), so no stamping, except for the sentiment.

The larger poppy is Real Red card (#106578) and the smaller one is Poppy Parade card (#121694) and I have used Basic Black card (#121688) to layer  on both. The leaves are Pear Pizzaz card (#131290) and Old Olive (#106576). For the middle of the poppies I used Gold Glimmer paper (#146958). All these were cut with the Poppy Moments Dies. The white and gold paper is from the Golden Honey Specialty Designer Series Paper (#152311) - a Sale-a-bration product. This was matted with Basic Black card and the Designer Paper under this is Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper (#151324). The base card is Whisper White (#106549). “Thank You” is from the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set (#152290) - also from Sale-a-bration- and stamped with Real Red ink (#147084). I used the 1-1/8”Scallop Circle Punch (#146138) to cut the sentiment and the 1-3/8” Scallop Circle Punch (#146139) for the Basic Black card underneath. Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the large flower and sentiment to the card.

I hope you are enjoying your weekend.

Peaceful Moments Bundle

Hi & welcome,

The January-June 2020 Mini catalogue and Sale-a-bration has begun today. You have seen some sneak peaks the last few days, and here is another card made with the beautiful products from the mini catalogue.

The dies from the Poppy Moments Dies (#151594) were used to cut the flowers and the leaves. These dies allow layering so easy to have different colours to create the flowers and leaves. The cardstock I used for the flowers are Purple Posy (#150887), Blackberry Bliss #133682) and Basic Black (#121688). The leaves used Pear Pizzaz (#131290) and Garden Green (#108605). I cut a piece of Whisper White card (#106549) with the Stitched So Sweetly Dies (#151690), then embossed it with the Layered Leaves 3D Embossing Folder (#152321). The strip of Designer Series Paper is from the Peaceful Poppies pack (#151324). Happy Birthday from the Peaceful Moments stamp set (#151595) was stamped with Blackberry Bliss ink (#147092), then cut with a die from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. I glued the leaves and flowers together with the Fine-Tip Glue Pen (#138309) and Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) were used to attach the larger flower and sentiment to the card. I added some glitter to the “stamins” using the Clear Wink Of Stella Glitter Brush (#141897), which doesn’t show very well in the photo.

Don’t forget that till 31st March, for every $90 you spend on Stampin’ Up! products, you can choose a free product from Sale-a-bration. Also there are some great deals if you would like to sign up as a demonstrator, so contact me if you live in Australia and are interested.

Have a great weekend.
