Poppystamps Challenge Reminder

Hi there, Poppy Peeps! This is a reminder that there's a challenge going on

at Poppystamps. 

Fall and Scary Things!

Check it out and play for a chance to win a 25. gift certificate to the store!

I made some treat bags for inspiration. You know Halloween is right 

around the corner!

I loved Halloween Costume Cats ever since their release last year. So darn cute! 

Paired them up with a die from this year, Leafy Wreath Collage.

Each of my tags got a different colored tag behind the cutout (and to write on), and a 

clothespin covered in washi.

Check out the Poppystamps blog to see exactly how I made them.

And remember, we have a Blog Blitz going on. Comment for a chance to win!

Blog Blitz! Holiday Happenings with Poppystamps!

It's Blog Blitz time at Poppystamps! 

Head on over to the blog and comment for a chance to win! 

Comment every day, and you have a better chance. The dies are

fabulous this season. I'm showcasing Deco Cecil Frame.

Another of the new die is this stag head, pure love die cut from red glitter cs.

Each of my 10 tags were cut twice, once in gold glitter cardstock and again in 

light blue shimmer.

I explain in detail the tag box you see above on the poppystamps blog. So easy, and

all set for gift giving. (Or just might keep these, I love how they look on my craft table!)

Thanks for visiting!

12 Kits of Occasions: September '18

Hello! And welcome to September's 12 Kits of Occasions!

A big BIG THANK YOU, Lindsey for our monthly kit photos!

Kim Higgins, from Cupcakes Cards and Kim, is our hostess this month, 

and she gave us all the above sea themed goodies.

Under and Over that is! If it swims or floats, it was in our package.

Kim has a guest this month, one of our own, Joyce Mehrberg.

Be sure to visit her, Joyce always wows with her creations!

Starting off with 2 mermaids and a shaker.

I so love MFT's Mermazing Mermaids! Had to give them a shaker to float on!

Those are Poppystamps' Mermaid sequins, and PTI's Pierced Oval frame.

The darling mermaid paper, and sentiment were in the kit.

Hard to see in the big photo, but there's a bit of Sheer Shimmer Spray on the mermaids.

Ellen Hudson's Otters are on VaCa, and sending all of you 'Oceans of Love'.

I LOVED coloring the images to suit the papers Kim sent us.

PTI Scallop Frame.

Just had to give baby otter his own setting, and use that adorable sentiment!

PTI Reef Builders & Pierced Rectangle Frame.

Fish and shells included in the kit.

Kim also included the blue enamel dots. Just perfect for bubbles!

My girl on a raft has been floating a bit longer than she should, and has quite the tan.

Where's her sunscreen?! Oh, I can remember using baby oil to accelerate tanning in

my 'younger' days. Who ever thought skin needed protection???

The scallop frame was the piece left over from PTI's Scallop die cut.

Girl, seriously, at least wear a sunhat!

That's it for me! A big happy thank you, Kim for a kit I loved!

Hope you enjoyed, and hope you'll visit each of the 12 Kits' gals!

And don't forget to say 'hi' to Joyce!

Merry

It's my turn today at the Poppystamps Blog, and I'm showing a 

step by step method for creating a type of 'gatefold card'.

Come by for a closer look and some how-to's!

12 Kits of Occasions August '18

Hi there! Welcome to August's 12 Kits post.

Our hostess this month is my dear friend, Birgit Norton from Crafting While I Wait,

and she blessed us all with fairies and mermaids and gnomes and...

well, just have a look

I have to lead with my favorite, already in the hands of a granddaughter, who 

didn't judge a hill while scootering down a bit too fast. 

One broken wrist later, and a trip to ER, she

has to wear a cast for 6 weeks! She's only 9, poor thing.

Birgit's sweet kit came in handy for 'mermaid kisses' from grandma.

PTI Reef Builders and Text & Texture: Ocean, Salt Air: Fauna

Wish you could see the sparkle on this winsome fairy. This also went to my little Noelle,

along with a Fairy cookbook. We love to bake when she comes for a visit.

Lots's of Lindy's Starburst Spray

Isn't she a hoot? A fairy struttin' her stuff! And a cupcake too!

Adore these MFT Magical Dragons, and gave them a royal setting.

I put one of the tiny fairies from the kit in the pumpkin coach, and renamed her 'Cinderella'. 

PTI: Bold Borders: Foliage frame

Closeup of her sparkling coach and cast off glass slipper.

A big Thank You Birgit, for a magical kit! Loved every bit, and boy did it come in

handy for a granddaughter with a wounded limb... and saved some 

to play with later! Hooray!

Don't dare miss the other designers, and Birgit brought in a guest too,

our friend Kara Lynn from Bright Hope Creations. Truly, Kara's coloring skills are 

magical! Can't wait to see what she did with the kit. And all my teammies too!

Sending (Cool!) Hugs

Hello, Poppy fans! I'm bringing you a post today on the Poppy Stamps blog.
