poppystamps Corner Shoppe Pop Up Easel Set Card…

Hi cardmakers and friends! poppystamps has created another easel card design so we can make interactive cards easily!  The Corner Shoppe Set is so cute and creates dimension sure to thrill the receiver!  I went ahead and made it a birthday card with the New poppystamps Birthday Banners set too!

I think the birthday message is loud and clear! lol  Light a Candle banner acts as a stopper….doesn’t take much to make it stand upright.

I just used cardstock from the new Memory Box cardstock pads, I’ll link below.  I used a few Distress ink pads to edge the pieces because I just like how that looks sometimes.

I used the super thin mounting tape that I love so well and always link to.  The little bit of lift is great but still mails easily for one postage stamp.

For the flowers and greenery in the window box I used the NEW poppystamps Flower and Leaf Sprinkles die. I thought they fit perfectly!

There are some other new dies that coordinate with this release also.  So fun for Spring but would easily work into Summer, Fall and even Winter!

Here’s how it fits into an A2 envelope.  I would send it in an A6 envelope myself because I like the cards to have a little wiggle room so the corners don’t get a little crinkled.

If you haven’t tried one of the easel sets yet… you should!  You can see the other ones by clicking/tapping to the ‘Easel” category over in the sidebar or the bottom if you’re on a phone or iPad.

Linking my easel card to some challenges…

Birch Press Design Cosmos, Lush Leaves and Wiegela Leaf Tag…

Hi everyone! A BIG tag for today’s post! Super fun shower for our grandson’s new wife Saturday morning!

She loves to garden so a few of us had fun gifting her gifts for that!

For some reason my camera didn’t blurr out the background for me on this picture so I tried to edit it out.  Sorry it’s so bad!  This is a dump garden wagon…she loves it!  I picked up some plants too and one is an Iceland Poppy.  I had to purchase it for her because they honeymooned in Iceland!  So fun!

A close up before I hung it on the wagon…

A close up hanging on the wagon.

I used a stamp set from Simon Says Stamp to stamp all over the background of the tag… I’ll link it below.

The tag is an accucut die that you use on the big accucut baby grand machine.

The circle is a NEW die from poppystamps!  I’ll link it below.

Here’s a video of the food table…my daughters did the food.  It was so good! I moved the camera too fast. Sorry about that.  We used my mother in law’s hankies down the center of the table.  So fun she had a great collection!

Memory Box Hippity Hoppity Bunny Card (Masterpiece)!

Hi everyone! Cute card warning and yes I’m calling it a masterpiece because I hung all the eggs in the trees!  A work of heart/art! lol

I had fun but I could’ve made another card in the time it took… this might stay at my house on the mantel! lol

This is such a neat, whimsical rabbit!  He’d be cute dancing around in a carrot garden too!

I cut two rows of MB Prairie Grass, mounted the top row with the thin mounting tape I love…

Die cut the New Berry Branches and Leaves and made them trees.  I used the eggs from the NEW Hippity Hoppity Bunny die and colored them with Copics!  I added the lines to the basket in pencil with a ruler and then went over them with a stylus.

I took the straight sentiments from the NEW poppystamps Spring Banners stamp set and mounted them in the MISTI to stamp on the curve with Distress Archival Peeled Paint ink pad.

I’ll link everything below…

I used the Happy Easter and the included die from the same sentiment set and mounted it with the thin mounting tape also.

A little Copic and color pencil to enhance the bunny/whiskars and oh Gathered Twigs and the mini ink blending tool for the white parts of his body.

I have some more Easter dies to get made up so I’ll be back soon I hope!  I can’t take as long on the next cards! lol

Have a great week everybody!  Thank you so much for stopping by!

poppystamps Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts Slimline Card…

Hello everyone! How is it February already!  This month is going to fly by too! Our family is in the midst of preparing for a wedding!  One of our grandsons is getting married!  It’s pretty exciting but shopping for a dress and shoes…eek…time consuming!  I haven’t dreamed up a card for them yet! lol

I decided to play around with this new die set a couple weeks ago and had this idea but it ended up too large to be symmetrical so I tried it as a vertical slimline and didn’t like it at all until I turned it horizontal!  whew! lol

Are you enjoying the NEW Nordic line from poppystamps the last couple releases?  There’s a ton of designs!

I used the Nordic Crown Flower and Scallop Pinpoint Hearts here.  The smallest of the hearts.

I needed a sentiment so I went digging and found this Love Jotted Script from Memory Box and went with it.

I used some pink and green cardstocks from my ancient stash! lol

The white background panel is from a Hobby Lobby watercolor pad.

I’m linking to some card challenge blogs…

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge – Love is in the air

Double D Challenges – Heartfelt

The Flower Challenge #88 – Add a Heart

Triple B February Challenge – use 1, 2 or 3 of the B’s … Birds, Butterflies, Blooms.

Simon Says Stamp House Border Frame and Doodlebug Designs Happy Home Card…

Hi everyone!  I just got this NEW House Border Frame just in time to make and give away!

I stamped a little outdoor scene with Happy Home stamp set from Doodlebug Design and did some sloppy Copic coloring!

The little roof sections are a separate die so that’s nice and adds a little dimension.  I die cut them in black and glued them on.

Welcome to the neighborhood is from the stamp set also.

Spring is coming, right?! lol  A person can always think Spring no matter that it’s below zero in polar Iowa right now! lol

I used a dot paper from Hobby Lobby and the stripe from My Favorite Things.

The banner die is from poppystamps.

It’s an A2 size card.  Delivered with a loaf of homemade bread!  yay!

Happy weekend to you and thank you so much for stopping by!
