Going for the bold

Happy Friday! This beautiful new Digi called Pure Prairie Bouquet was just released a bit ago. Wow, right!!! 

I wanted to go bold in my colors for this one with red, one of the hardest colors for me to use. Why not give it a try.  :-)  

May have had this a little too large as the stitched die was the largest one in the set to cut this out. However makes for an easy card with just a few accents using sequins. I did add some sparkle to the petals on the flowers. You can never had too much sparkle. hee hee

Stamped my sentiment from Nice Things to Say and created a tag tied off with a button and some twine. Voila!

Thanks a melon

Good morning. We have some hot hot weather right now, like triple digits. EEK!!!  Needless to say the coach has the football practices super early in the morning or late at night to avoid the heat. We are gearing up for the football season and being that the boys are freshmen this year, its even more exciting. I know... Freshmen. EEK!!! They are pretty excited. Anyways... my card today is using an old retired set. 

I stamped the watermelon on white cardstock and colored with various Copic markers. Some tightly wrapped gingham paper that was in the stack I am trying to use more of on cards.  A few brads scattered on the image panel and a button with twine to finish it off. Voila! I made this for a friend as we went to Applebee's and had the grilled watermelon shrimp salad and it was tasty!  ;-)  Enjoy your day! 

Hello

Is he just not adorable or what? I found this little digi guy on Pinterest long ago and finally got it printed so I could play with him. He is super cute don't you think? He is printed on white cardstock and colored with various Copic markers. Scored around the image panel and then created a stitched frame to be behind his panel. 

Added a strip of designer paper from the same pack to the back and then a few pearls and some sparkles on his nose. Voila!
Thanks for stopping by today. 

Today is going to be beautiful

Good morning and happy release day! Today is the full release of the new stamps at Power Poppy! Hopefully you didn't miss any of the sneak peeks we shared this week. It all started on Monday with the newest Instant Garden release. Check out the PP Blog for all the details and links. 

I was in need of a new bookmark so I went and created this beautiful using Prairie Cheer. I adore how this turned out. My flowers were stamped and colored with various Copic markers and the layered onto some yellow and blue cardstock that I die cut using a Spellbinders edge. Wrapped some ribbon and twine using a button at the top. There is sparkle added to the petals on each flower because you can never have too much sparkle. hee hee  Voila!

Wow!!! Have you seen all the sneak peeks the last few days of our Nature and Nurture Collection? Start back over on the Power Poppy Blog if you missed anything, you won't be disappointed. What an array of fall feeling cards and creations. 

Today is the last sneak peek with Feeling Fall! Check out the fun and inspiration from Marcy on the Power Poppy Blog. 

This was such a fun boot to color! These leaves are awesome and such variety of colors if you went early fall, middle or late fall. What fun! Simple design with this green designer paper under the white panel textured with swiss dots. Scored around the boot image panel and added some enamel dots scattered about. I then stamped, colored and cut around two extra leaves in the set to help my sentiment that is stamped on vellum stick to the card. Vellum is hard to stick to a card without seeing the adhesive. Some sparkle to the leaves and voila!

Today is going to be.....

Welcome to day two of our Nature and Nurture collection release at Power Poppy! If you missed the start head on over to the Power Poppy Blog for details about the other sets along with our new one today called In Praise of Sunflowers! Woot Woot!!!! If you didn't own the digi version already you will HAVE to own this set! What a display of fall feeling design. 

Recently I have been making a large attempt to use more of the designer paper that I have had forever. Usually I purchase it as it is so pretty and then don't seem to use most of it only one or two sheets. So here is another one that is from a pack of fall colored designs that was perfect for these sunflowers I thought. I stamped the vase of sunflowers on white cardstock and colored with various Copic markers. Die cut with a stitched rectangle and layered over this blue and chocolate panel. For fun stamped the sentiment along the side to finish off the circle part of the sentiment. Added some enamel dots and stickles to finish it off. Voila!

Best way to cheer yourself up

Good morning! Are you ready for Power Poppy's newest release called Nature and Nurture collection? Yep we have a beautiful new array of clear stamps coming to you, so grab some coffee or tea and sit back for some sneak peeks. 

First up is Prairie Cheer. Marcy has some wonderful insight behind this new set over on the Power Poppy Blog! Be sure to check it out. 

This is one of the sentiments in the set and it makes my heart swoon. I adore it! First stamped the single flower and then die cut the stitched frame and colored the bloom. Stamped the sentiment in the corner and added a touch of sparkle to the petals. Just a few buttons with twine wrapped through them for the accent. Voila!
