Thank you Friend - International Blog Highlight

Hello and happy Monday!

I thought I would share today a card that isn't Christmas themed and join the fun over at Kylie Bertucci's International Blog Highlight.  This is a place where participants share a card or project with the theme 'Thank you" and people vote on their favourites!  EEK

The top 10 participants participate in a blog hop later that month.  

Here is my card to share.

I have the most amazing friends and although we tell each other all the time how much we are thankful for each other, I never send cards.  What?! a card maker who doesn't send cards to her closest friends?  I know, one of my goals is to do a better job at that!  So here is a start.  A beautiful card. 

I just love these poppy 3D flowers - I just can't get enough of the look of paper pieces put together to make an image.  In the poppy bundle, you have a large and a small poppy flower and then some really pretty leaves.  These flowers are perfect for our soldiers and veterans on Remembrance Day or a beautiful paper bouquet for a good friend. 

Fancy it up with some Wink of Stella and voila!  A beautiful card.

Something New with The Paper Players

Hello my stampin' friends,

I decided to play around with the theme challenge with the Paper Players today, who have a challenge for something new!  

Have you seen the new Stampin'UP! mini catalogue?  There are SO many new and fun products to get our crafting on!  My card today is made with one of my favourites.   The Painted Poppies Suite!  I just love it.  The designer paper is fabulous!  Each and every patterned paper in the package is beautiful!

I wanted the beautiful paper to be one of the highlights of my card, so used it to fill most of the front.  I cut it out using the Rectangle Stitched Dies to give it a nice finished edge.

The die shapes are also very versatile.  You get both of these labels in one package of dies.  So many possibilities!  The flowers and leaves are also from the same package and coordinate with the stamp set to give some beautiful poppy flowers and leaves. 

 Don't forget to check out all of the creations made with Something New, over at The Paper Players!

Happy Stampin'

International Blog Highlights

Hello my stampin' friends!

It is time for Kyle Bertucci's Monthly International Blog Highlights.  It is a really fun challenge (so to speak) where Kylie provides a theme and you submit a project and people vote for their favourtie!  The top 10 projects get to participate in an international Blog Hop closer to the end of the month.  I am so excited to be participating this month and I am excited for you to see my project.  

I focused on the Poppies suite in the new Mini catalogue - it is extremely beautiful and full of possibilities!  The theme for the Blog Highlight is Thank you.  I love this theme, because you can't have enough thank you cards in your stash and these beautiful products are perfect for a thank you card!

My focus was on the Painted Poppies bundle and the beautiful DSP that comes in the suite.  I just love every piece of paper in it!

I used my stitched rectangle dies to frame my layers of Pool Party and the DSP.  It adds a nice touch.  The layers that the greeting are on are dies from the bundle as well!  I love having some extra ways to frame a greeting.  

I hope you have enjoyed my card and will vote for me!  You can do that right here.

Happy Stampin'
