Poppies, Poppies, Poppies!

5/20/2020

I may have gone a little overboard on the number of variations I made for last night's Mystery Stamping, but once I pulled out the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper, I just couldn't stop! I love, love, LOVE this paper, but I realized that I've hardly used it. That's because I love the poppies in other color combinations as well, like the Pumpkin Pie, Real Red, and Mint Macaron ones I did Monday. But that means that there were tons of color combinations to try. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Here is the basic sketch for the card.

Cardstock:

8 ½” x 5 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”
3 ¾” x 5”

Whisper White or Vanilla cardstock: Scraps
Patterned paper: 3 ½” x 4 ¾”
Coordinating patterned paper: 1 ¼” x 4 ½”

You can cut the banner end by making a small mark at 5/8" where you want the center tip to be and then cutting into to that from the corners. Or you can use the corner of a square punch or die to cut the end.

Here is my original card. I used the retiring Witty-Cisms stamp set. I love this set. It is another one that I had hoped would be carried over into the new Annual Catalog, but sadly will not be. I paired this fun strawberry with the bright See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper.

For this card, I used only one color of cardstock and added Stampin' Dimensionals between the two layers of cardstock to help it jump off the page.

The rest of my cards for this sketch use the Painted Poppies stamp set and the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. While the stamps are carrying over into the new catalog (yay!) the paper will be retiring.

For the first two cards, I water colored the poppies using Rich Razzleberry and Blackberry Bliss ink and an Aqua Painter. Remember, when water coloring, you should always use a Stazon ink pad.

The other two cards are colored with Poppy Parade and Old Olive Stampin' Blends. When using alcohol markers like Stampin' Blends, it is important to use a Memento ink pad which is a water-based ink.

I hope you enjoy this card sketch as much as I have! I'd love to see your creations. Come join the On Y Go! Stamping Facebook Group to see others' examples and share your own.

More Tuesday night Mystery Stamping means another Wednesday card sketch! This time it includes another fun fold for you to flip out over. For these cards, the front greeting area folds out to allow the card to open and reveal a second greeting are on the interior.

Here are the dimensions for the paper pieces:
Cardstock: 5 ½” x 7 ½”, scored at 4 ¼”
Contrasting cardstock:

1 ¼” x 8”, scored at 4”
2 ¾” x 5”

Whisper White or Vanilla cardstock:

2 ½” x 4 ¾”
3 ½” x ¾” (x2)
2 ¾” x 3 ½”

Patterned paper: 1 ½” x 5 ½”
Contrasting patterned paper: 1 ¼” x 5 ¼”

This card uses the Timeless Tulips stamp set from the 2020 January - June Mini Catalog. I'm so glad this set will be returning in the annual catalog! It also uses the Country Club DSP and the Brights 6" x 6" DSP. I added some Baker's twine with a little bow to the sentiment and a few Noble Peacock rhinestones.

You can see how the card opens to reveal a second message below. There is additional white space to write your own personal message before sending the card.

My second card uses the Parisian Beauty stamp set with the Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper. The stamps are from the 2020 January - June Mini Catalog and the paper is in the 2019-20 Annual Catalog. Unfortunately, both are being discontinued. I love this stamp with the soft colors of the paper.

From Simple to Oh là là! Thoghtful Blooms

Spring has sprung! Even though it doesn't feel like it yet here in Michigan. To celebrate, I made three cards using the Thoughtful Blooms Sale-A-Bration stamp set. From Simple using only stamps, inks, and paper, to Chic using punches and ribbon, all the way to Oh là là adding the Stitched So Sweetly dies. All of the cards use cardstock in Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, and Whisper White as well as Petal Pink, Calypso Coral, Soft Sea Foam, Pear Pizzazz, and So Saffron ink.

Simple
This first card is what is often called Simple Stamping or a SIP card because all you need to complete it are stamps, ink, and paper. In addition to the Thoughtful Blooms stamp set, I used the Varied Vases stamp set for the greeting. I cut out a couple of the flowers and layered them.
Cardstock:
Whisper White: 3 3/4" x 5"
Calypso Coral: 3 15/16" x 5 3/16"
Petal Pink: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half

Chic
This second card uses a few more products including the Label Me Fancy punch and the Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding. This punch is great because it includes the label as well as a small hole and a slot punch to make the holes in the label. The seam binding is wonderful to work with and easy to tie.
Cardstock:
Whisper White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", plus scraps
Calypso Coral: 3 11/16" x 4 15/16", 1 3/8" x 3 11/16"
Petal Pink: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half

Oh là là
The last card steps up the design even further and uses the Stitched So Sweetly dies and the Layering Circle dies. I love the Stitched So Sweetly dies because they have fun shapes and a beautiful stitched edging that gives the die cuts a finished appearance.
Cardstock:
Whisper White: 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", plus scraps
Calypso Coral: 3 11/16" x 4 15/16", plus scraps
Petal Pink: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2" folded in half, plus scraps
