Hello everyone!
Next up is the second of two cards I gave to my lovely mum today!
I recently picked up the Poppystamps Floral Vase Easel Pop Up set in a recent sale! I love the possibilities for this incredibly versatile set although I have to confess that this card took me MUCH longer to make than I had anticipated. And I used LOADS of different distress inks! My craft table looked like it had been hit by a tornado!
The sentiment is from an older Hero Arts set.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Today I’m playing along in this week’s Color Throwdown challenge where the colour palette is peach, sage green and cream.
I decided to showcase a couple of new die sets that I just bought – the Nordic Flower Pot and Stems set and the Nordic Pattern Rings set by Poppystamps. I coloured the stems and pots with distress ink (Bundled Sage and Antique Linen) and added some tulip toppers cut from older Memory Box sets and coloured with Dried Marigold distress ink.
I arranged the flower pots on the Nordic Pattern Rings and then added a sentiment from a Memory Box stamp set to complete my card.
Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Heart Day everyone!
I’ve been keen to play with the Poppystamps Nordic Bird die set again (see disclaimer below) and so I started with that as my focal point. Once again, I cut the bird from glitter card and coloured it with alcohol markers.
I decided to perch him on the beautiful Serafina Heart – an older Memory Box die from 2012, still one of my favourites!
I was originally planning to create a white embossed background but suddenly decided to use the die from the pretty Meadowblossom Frame and stencil set, which I cut from glitter card.
I adhered gems and pearls to the centre of the flowers and added a Reverse Confetti sentiment to complete my card.
I’m entering this into the Poppystamps Heart Eyes challenge.
Thanks for stopping by!

Nordic Bird set – disclaimer
I received this Nordic Bird set directly from Poppystamps. We are not sure how the bird from my die set ended up looking in a different direction from the image on the packaging and on the DT cards on the Poppystamps blog!
Hi there!
Welcome to Day 6 of Heart Week!
My heart card today is my entry for the colour challenge at the Color Throwdown which has a palette of blue, lime and brown.
My focal point today is one of my oldest Simon Says Stamp die sets – the Heart Wreath die which dates from 2014! I can’t believe this die is ten years old! I can’t remember when I bought it but I do know I’ve had it a while.. maybe eight years or so. I went back into the Simons gallery to get some inspiration and found this beautiful card by the talented Debby Hughes.
I coloured the wreath, leaves and hearts with distress inks and cut a vellum tag using a die from the Stitched Banners set. I adhered everything to a background that I’d stamped with a 2018 stamp (Modern Rose Blooms). I then added a Poppystamps sentiment (Doodle Happy Valentine’s Day) and a sprig by Memory Box (Sylvan Sprig).
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 4 of Heart Week!
My heart card today is my entry for the February challenge at The Flower Challenge where the theme is ‘add a heart’.
Today, I used the pretty, new to me Meadow blossom frame die and stencil set by Poppystamps – this was a joy to colour! I paired it with the Drifting Butterfly die and a sentiment by Memory Box.
Thanks for stopping by!

Hi there!
Welcome to Day 2 of Heart Week!
My heart card today is my entry for the colour challenge at Just us Girls.
My focal point today is a bouquet of Simply Graphic dies, partly coloured using distress oxide ink. I also added an ink blended heart to the top of a Simply Graphic stem to fill out the centre of my bouquet.
I used the largest die from the Poppystamps Pinpoint Hearts die set for the background and a stamped sentiment from a Mama Elephant set.
Thanks for stopping by!
