Stampin' Up! Poppy Moment Dies

The Peaceful Poppies Suite is such an incredible offering from Stampin Up!  It includes two stamp sets and two sets of dies, plus an assortment of coordinator products--designer series paper, sequins, ribbons, and die cuts.    

The images in the stamp sets work alone or can be combined with dies to create stunning elements for your cards.  I used the Poppy Moment Dies to create the beautiful poppies on today's card.      
  





T he basecard used on today's card is Pool Party.  Then I used a Vellum Cardstock layer dry embossed with the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.  Then I used a print from the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper die cut using the Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  

I used the Painted Poppies Dies to cut Whisper White outlines and Vellum Cardstock to create these lovely poppies.  The centers are die cut out of Basic Black Cardstock.  The sentiment is from the Forever Blossoms Stamp Set.  I stamped it in Versamark ink and heat embossed it in White Emboss Powder.  To finish my card I added a bow in 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon.  The accents ae fro the retired Metallic Sequins collection.  You can use Blends Markers to color your sequins black to get the same effect.

Create Beautiful Scenes using the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set

  • Beautiful Moments Stamp Set
  • A stamp set for coloring fun: Beautiful Moments
  • Hold your place in this weekend's card making class

Stampin' Up! Beautiful Moments

You're going to be so inspired when you use the Stampin' Up! Beautiful Moments Stamp Set from the January-June 2020 Mini Catalog.  The set was a collaboration between a Demonstrator from Auckland NZ and the wonderful designers from the Stampin Up! home office in Utah, when Demonstrator Jacque Willams reached $1,000,000 in Stampin' Up! sales.  

The images in the stamp set are based on her and her three daughters, and her love of new Zealand.   You"ll find the images perfect for granddaughters, cousins, nieces or daughters.   This stamp set would work for a Birthday card, Mother's Day Card, Sympathy Card or a Thinking-of-You card.  The set includes a beach scene, a mountain, and a field of flowers.  It includes more flowers, birds, and butterflies to fill out a scene.  It's a great set to use with different coloring techniques such as Watercolor Pencils, Stamp Pad ink and Aqua Painters, Stampin' Markers and alcohol-based Stampin' Blends Markers.  The set also pairs well with the A Good Man Stamp Set from the Annual Catalog, which includes masculine images in the same style as the Beautiful Moments Stamp Set.    
  





Today's card uses a variety of coloring techniques on the main image.  I used both Stampin' Blends and ink pads with an Aqua Painter.  For the grass I used both Light Granny Apply Green and Light Old Olive Blends.  For the sky, I used Balmy Blue ink pad with an Aqua painter.  For the girl's dress and the butterfly, I used a Calypso Coral ink pad with an Aqua Painter.  I used a Light Crumb Cake Blends Marker on her hair, A Light Highland Heather Blends Maker on the flower and a Light Petal Pink Blends Marker on her arms.  I probably should have used Water Color Paper. bit I hadn't decided to use ink pads and Aqua Painter until after I stamped my image on regular Whisper White Cardstock.  It worked fine, as long as you use a light touch with your Aqua Painter.  If you go over the cardstock with your Aqua Painter too much, your cardstock will begin to get bumpy.
     





The card base for this card is Thick Whisper White.  Then a layer of Petal Pink. Then I used a piece of Petal Pink Vellum Cardstock from the Perennial Essence 12" X 12" Vellum Cardstock Pack and dry embossed it using the Coastal Weave 3D Embossing Folder.  Then I added a piece of Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon.  The next two layers are die cut using the scalloped Stitched So Sweetly Dies.  The sentiment us stamped in Tuxedo Black Memento ink onto a Whisper White die cut using the Stitched Rectangle Dies.  
   



  
Look through annual catalog to find the A Good Man Stamp Set that coordinate with the Beautiful Moments Stamp set.  Remember that when you place a $50 or $100 order (less shipping and tax) you qualify to select Free gifts from the Sale-A-Bration  Sale-A-Bration Brochure .   You'll love everything you make with these wonderful products.
