Big Halo Hello - Poppy Stamps Blog Blitz


Hello! 
I recently got an email from my friend Jeanne Jackna, asking, 
'would you like to join the 
Poppy Stamps Design Team?'
Couldn't say yes fast enough! I secretly crushed on Poppy for oh so long!
And, guess what, it's Blog Blitz time at Poppy, which means I get to 
showcase a die from the new release.
There are so many wonderful new dies to check out, but seriously,
is there one better than 'Hello' to greet Poppy fans with?


I LOVE this double die, that allows you so much creativity. 
Every piece you see, on my card, was die cut from white card stock,
then the larger, (fatter) die was rainbow inked in warm colors,
before adding the white, skinnier die.


The larger die was placed on an angle before running it through my 
die cutter.
Then I simply placed my rainbow 'hello' in the window, adhering 
it to the inside of the card.


Still plenty of room to add your rest of your message.


I glued several skinny 'hellos' all over the card, on a slant, 
like the window die cut,
then snipped off the edges.
Gives the card such a cool embossed effect, don't you think?

I loved doing this so much, I did 2, one in warm tones, and one with cooler.


How would you like to win this fun new double 'Big Halo Hello' die?
Just visit the Poppy Blog here:

each of the designer's blogs, May 10th - May 21.
You have until the 22nd to comment.
Poppy stamps will announce the winners on May 24th.
Good Luck and hope you win!

Grateful for You


Good Monday Morning!
Make it Monday has Dawn McVey on board this morning,
showing us how lovely creating patterns are behind
die-cut windows.


This is my card, using Dawn's Vintage Linen set.
I created a frame or window with Mix & Mat: Flourishes,
and stencil pattern from Woodblock Prints.
Added a bit of depth to the blooms with pencils.

Celebrating the day after Easter in pjs, in the craft room, 
and eating left overs! 
Family left early this morning, and my girls and daughters in laws
helped clean my house before going! Love them!!!


6 of the 11. Antsy to start the hunt.


Noelle went into the pool after one egg.


Eli is so happy with his find.

We had good weather until 6 pm, and then rain. In sheets!
A perfect day! 
Ron and I went out this morning, and look what we found...


No doubt many more out there.

Do you do a Easter Egg Hunt?
It's a Penir tradition!
