Happy Birthday with PoppyStamps

Hi! Sue here with a card for our May Challenge. Our challenge for the month of May is

CELEBRATIONS

Our sponsor this month is PoppyStamps. They will be giving our randomly selected winner a $20 gift card (only those with US addresses are eligible).

I chose birthday as the focus for my CELEBRATION card. Here's my card.

I used a couple of retired PoppyStamps products for my card. For the birds, I die cut them with PoppyStamps' Flock of Birds dies from white cardstock. I added color with distress inks - cracked pistachio, wilted violet and mermaid lagoon, mini ink blending brushes and a sticky mat to hold the pieces ink place. For the sentiment, I used a scrap of 100 lb bristol and ink smooshed with the same three distress inks to cover the scrap. I then die cut using PoppyStamps' Happy Birthday Poe Script die. I used a purple circle to help focus one's gaze and glued the birds and sentiment to it. I glued the circle to a light gray A2 card base which was then adhered to a white A2 card base to finish my card. While I used retired PoppyStamps products to create my card, they sell many other dies which could be used instead.

See you later this month

Celebrating a new mom

 Hello everyone,

It's Cindy here.  I am sharing a Mother's Day card created for a new mom in the family.

The card base is Poppystamps Fern and Daisy Pop Up Easel card, it was sent to me by a dear teamie and I have kept it safe in my treasure bin, but today is the day to use it.  😉

I first did a light wash of watercolor on the detail panel, then I use an inking tool to add layers of distress inks and ink blended the oval center.  Then I gold heat embossed the sentiment on the top oval piece.  I assembler the card base and adhere the focal element using foam adhesive.

The focal element is Poppystamps Nordic Spectacular Butterfly I die cut using both pattern paper and a ivory shimmery color paper.  

For the stopper, I used clear seal wax and Spellbinders Butterfly Mini Wax Seal stamp.

For detail supply list, please visit me at Escape To Stamping.

Our May sponsor is Poppystamps and it's all about Celebrations this month.

The challenge prize is a $20 gift card will be made from those with US addresses only.  Now it's your turn, take your favorite craft supply and make a paper craft project following the challenge theme, and use your die cut machine in the process.  Please state what you're celebrating in your description, preferably next to the link back to our blog.  I look forward to seeing your creations the challenge gallery. 

Happy crafting!

Cindy's celebrating parenthood.

Arlene needed a birthday card this month so she chose a color combo of navy blue, yellow and white.  As you can see, she left the door open for business - cakes in the window - ahhh - a bakery.

 

Michelle is ready for Mothers Day!

 

Annie created a funny birthday card.
