Happy Tuesday! Today I have a card using products from Poppystamps new spring release!

I white heat embossed the new Diamond Sentiments image on vellum and adhered it to one of the amazing new plaid papers.

You Made My Day

Hello everyone! Today I have a slimline card for you and it's my first one. I think I'm a little late trying out this card size but there's a lot of fun design options with this size.

I'm using a few of Poppystamps newest dies from the Whittle line. This is a very popular family of dies featuring cutie critters and other dies like the Whittle Circle Frames I used on this card.

For more info on how I made this card stop by the Poppystamps blog here.

Have a great crafty week!

Monochrome Challenge

Hello crafters! Did you know Poppystamps has a challenge every month and this month it's all about Monochrome!

I love making monochromatic cards because it takes the guess work out of what colours to combine and use on my card. I made a card using four shades of teal cardstock using the Winged Bird Collage and love how it turned out.

For info on how I made my card and for linking up your project stop by the blog here.

Get Well Shaker

Hello, I have a colourful shaker card today using the new to me, Pinkfresh Studio Simply Diamonds die.

The Simply Diamonds was die cut from a panel of yupo paper that I coloured with alcohol inks. I wanted the background of the shaker to sort of match the colours of the diamond piece so I used various Distress Inks and then sprayed it with Perfect Pearls for a bit of shimmer.

I used clear sequins for the shaker elements and finished off with the sentiment. I hope these cheery colours will brighten the recipient's day!

Christmas Porch Easel Card

Hello crafters! I have my last Poppystamps project of the year and it's using the Winter Porch Pop Up Easel Die Set.

This is such a charming die set that can be used all year long depending on how you want to decorate your porch. And this card folds flat and fits in an A2 envelope!

I added a couple of glittery evergreens, a little snow on the roof and a hanging mistletoe from the door.

Have a great week!

Snowflake

Hello crafters! I have a clean and simple snowflake card for you today.

I created a stripy glittery background for the Simon Says Stamp Eliza Snowflake. The snowflake was die cut three times from white cardstock and then I added a layer of Clear Rock Candy Distress Glitter on top for a subtle sugary shimmer. A white embossed sentiment on black finished the card!

Masculine Christmas

Today I used a little plaid to help create a more masculine Christmas card.

Combined with Poppystamps Adriana Wreath and the dark grey, red and gold colours I think this is a great clean, simple and elegant card for one of the guys.

Shaker Tree

I have a clean and simple shaker card today.

I decided to go with a white theme and let the shaker elements be the colour in the card.

The Christmas Tree is from the Very Merry die set from Papertrey Ink. I really like the shape of this tree with its soft scalloped edges. The shaker bits are clay peppermint candy shapes and sparkling clear sequins.

For the background I die cut a bunch of snowflakes from white card stock and adhered them to the card base for some added texture.

Rudolph

Hello crafters! I have a silly Rudolph Christmas card today.

This is my first time using the Simon Says Stamp Picture Book Deer die. He's such a cutie with his jaunty scarf.

I die cut Rudolph from a variety of cardstock and adhered him on top of a background that I inked with Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.

For a little fun I added pompoms onto his antlers and gave Rudolph some googly eyes.
