Sending Hugs w/Poppystamps

Ever since I joined the Design Team at Poppystamps, I've been falling more and more in love with all their wonderful layered intricate dies. And right when I think I've seen them all, I find yet another that's just as lovely as the last.  Each and every die set from Poppystamps is stunning and will help you create the most beautiful cards you can imagine.  It's hard (perhaps impossible) to go wrong with these gorgeous dies.  You cut them, piece them together, and....POP!  You have a lovely card in no time at all.

The first layer is Natural White Cardstock and the second layer is Pink Lemonade cardstock.  The pink layer was cut using the gorgeous Gilded Plate Craft Die.  I allowed a few of the cut pieces to fall out, revealing the creamy background.  The sweet flowers were cut from the same cardstock as the base using the Nordic Pendant Flower Dies.  I rubbed each piece with oxide inks and sprinkled them with a dusting of ultra-fine glitter  I believe that the (hugs) sentiment die is retired.  Sorry.

And how about the sweet butterfly?  I used the Nordic Cheery Butterflies Dies to cut this sweet butterfly.  The set has two different sizes, but I used just the one on this card.  It's even more amazing in real life, trust me.  A few coordinating sequins were the finishing touch to this sweet and simple card.  The Poppystamps dies are the real star of the show here, and they make it so easy to create sweet cards.

You can read more about my card on the Poppystamps Blog, and you'll also find many other inspiring cards there each day.  There's also a FUN challenge each month where you can play along for the chance to WIN a Poppystamps gift card.  How fun is that?  Thanks so much for visiting me here today, and happy crafting to you all.  I'm so grateful for your visits here.
