Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge #PCC370: Little Lady Bug

Good morning!

So happy to have a break in the rain today, even if just for a little bit, which is perfect to go along with this weeks Paper Craft Crew Inspiration Challenge.  Spring is in Bloom is our inspiration and I decided some bright and cheery poppies, along with a cut little lady bug would be perfect.

For this card I used Poppy Parade cardstock for the card base and then added a piece of Basic Black cardstock as a mat for the Whisper White cardfront.  I embossed the cardfront with the Tufted 3D embossing folder (but make sure to stamp the greeting first before embossing).  I also added a piece of Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper which was matted with Basic Black cardstock for that pop of springtime color.

For the stamped images I used the Little Lady Bug stamp set (you can earn this set for FREE with a $300 order or party during Sale-a-bration).  I stamped the image on Whisper White cardstock and then cut this piece as well as the Basic Black mat using the Ornate Frames Dies and then colored the lady bug in with my Stampin' Blends.  To finish off the card I added a piece of Old Olive Ribbon from the Botanical Prints Product Medley to peak out from beneath the lady bug which was attached with dimensionals.

This card is the perfect mix of cute and springtime colors and blooms to send a fun message (I'm actually using this as a Valentine this year).  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.

Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge #PCC369: Painted Poppies

Good morning,

It's been an interesting week, that's for sure and just working one thing at a time trying to get everything on that to do list done.  Of course I had to take a little break for a little crafting and made this lovely card using this weeks Paper Craft Crew Sketch Challenge.

For this card I used Old Olive cardstock for the cardbase and then added Mossy Meadow cardstock as a mat for the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper cardfront.

For the stamped image I cut out a label using the Painted Labels Dies and Whisper White cardstock and stamped the flower from the Painted Poppies stamp set and the greeting from the Little Lady Bug set.  I used Stampin' Blends to color in both the stamped flower image as well as the piece of Gold 3/8" Metallic Edge Ribbon.  I also added a little piece of Early Espresso cardstock behind the flower piece, which was attached with dimensionals.

To finish off the card I added another piece of the coordinating DSP to the top right corner, as well as a piece of Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape and finished off by adding some Peaceful Poppies Sequins as an accent.

I can't get over how gorgeous all the paper in in this designer series paper pack, so easy to use and coordinates with everything else in the product suite to a T.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration using this sketch challenge and we would love for you to play along with us and share what you create!

Hand Stamped Sentiments Sketch Challenge #332: Painted Poppies

Good morning!

A fresh new week and I'm enjoying the little bit of spring we're feeling (I'll take every moment I can get) and I'm channeling feelings of spring that will be here soon as inspiration for this weeks Hand Stamped Sentiments sketch challenge card.  I love the Peaceful Poppies Product Suite in the new catalog and all the bright, cheery colors!

For this card I used Crumb Cake cardstock for the cardbase and then created the cardfront using Poppy Parade cardstock and embossing it with the Scripty 3D Embossing Folder and sponged all over the top to help accent the pattern.


The patterned paper is from the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper and then matted with Basic Black cardstock.  For the main stamped image I used the Painted Poppies Dies and cut the swirly circle piece out of Whisper White cardstock and stamped the flowers from the Painted Poppies stamp set (I inked only part of the stamp image so it fit in the circle) and colored them in with Stampin' Blends and attached it to the card with dimensionals.

To finish off the card I add a greeting that's from the Sending You Thoughts stamp set and stamped it on a piece of Calypso Coral cardstock that was punched out with the Story Label Punch.  The bow accent was created with the Nature's Twine and I took 2 pieces of the Blackberry Bliss Twine and separated the twine into 3 pieces (a total of 6 strands) and tied a bow.

This card is sure to bring spring feelings to anyone who receives it and brighten their day.  Make sure to check out the other cards the design team is sharing for inspiration and we would love for you to play along and share what you create.
