Hello w/Poppystamps

As my journey continues, I'm sharing my second card for Poppystamps since joining their Design Team.  I'm having so much fun using these fabulous intricate die-cuts carried at Poppystamps.  Each time I open a new set, I fall more and more in love with the small details in each one.  These background die, once again, called to me and asked me to do some hand-stitching on the card.  Of course, I had to oblige and answer this call by pulling out my DMC floss to add some extra colors and textures, of course.

I started with Natural White Cardstock and Pink Cardstock that I layered together.  The top layer was cut using the lovely Fine Eyelet Frame Dies.  This sweet set contains six different frame sizes.  The one I used on this card is the largest of the six sizes.  I stitched the edges with coordinating DMC flosses for added color and texture, splattered the background with acrylic paints, and added a few sequins.

I used the lovely Nordic Cozy Tea Cup Dies for that super sweet tea cup.  All those lovely intricate details in the tea cup give this card so much color, texture, and detail in each part.  Even the steam is cute, and I added some ultra-fine glitter to that.  The sweet little butterflies I used are found in the Nordic Cheery Butterflies.  They're the perfect size to rest sweetly on the tea cup.

I'm also sharing this card on the Poppystamps Blog, Poppystamps IG, my own IG Page, and the Poppystamps Facebook Inspiration Page.  Yes, there's always plenty of fabulous inspiration out there to help you find creative ways to use the amazing dies found at Poppystamps.  I know that I'm sure having a lot of FUN creating with them.  I hope that I inspire you to stop by and take a peek....maybe to even treat yourself.

Thanks so much for visiting me here today.  It means more than you can possibly know.  And, as I work towards growing my IG Page, those visits become even more meaningful.  It's not easy growing my Following, but I'm getting there slowly but surely; and I appreciate you so much for Following my journey.  Happy crafting.

Blessings,

Karen
