Easy Stamped Painted Poppies Thinking of You Card

Easy Stamped Painted Poppies Thinking of You Card

This was one of those times that I absolutely didn’t know what to make for a card so finally I remembered my own advice when you need inspiration and looked in the Stampin’ Up! Catalog! I found cards somewhat like this Easy Stamped Painted Poppies Thinking of You Card that I eventually came up with, keeping it simple and just stamping! The catalog sample cards had other cardstock on the side and a fancier greeting, but once I got going on this card I was happy with it!

I decided to make my poppies Calypso Coral so I chose Calypso Coral Cardstock for the card base. I thought about adding a layer of Pear Pizzazz Cardstock to match the leaves, but I didn’t.

I used the “blob” stamp in the Painted Poppies Stamp Set to stamp the color for all the flowers. I inked up the stamp with Calypso Coral, then stamped it lightly on scrap paper to take off some of the ink so the stamped image would be lighter. Then I stamped over these color “blobs” with the two different outline poppy stamps in black. As you can see, this method and the shapes of the stamps makes it imperfect. But that’s okay! The flowers look artsy! I even fit in an extra poppy that is not exactly over the color and it all still looks okay!

Then I did the same thing with leaves. You can do it either way. I stamped the leaf outline in black and then stamped over that with Pear Pizzazz ink with the kind of dotty image in the stamp set. Again, it all doesn’t match up perfectly but that’s how it is supposed to be. If you want the perfect look then you would stamp the outline image and then color in.

The greeting is from the Many Mates Stamp Set. This is a great new stamp set with common messages you will want to use in different fonts and designs. Some of the sentiments will be good for using inside the card or as kind of a sub-greeting on the front of the card. I think this will be a favorite stamp set for greetings.

This card is “just stamping” which is nice to do sometimes! No die-cutting, no embossing, no embellishments. Those are all good things but when you are just starting up and you only have limited supplies, it’s good to know you can make pretty cards with just stamps, ink, and paper like this Easy Stamped Painted Poppies Thinking of You Card.

Peaceful Poppies Pizza Box 3 x 3 Notecards

Peaceful Poppies 3 x 3 Notecards

The other day I posted about decorating one of the Stampin’ Up! Mini Pizza Boxes and today I am showing you the Peaceful Poppies Pizza Box 3″ x 3″ Notecards I made to go with the box! There were really so many choices of how I could have decorated the notecards, but using a Whisper White poppy die-cut was what I ended up with.

You can make your own 3″ x 3″ cards (or you may have some old ones in your stash!) by cutting 6″ x 3″ cardstock, folded in half. You can purchase envelopes at Stampin’ Up! in the Online Store.

To make these little cards, I just cut different patterns of the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper into layering pieces of 2 3/4″ x 2 3/4″. I wanted that pretty paper to show through, so I cut the large poppy die from the Poppy Moments Dies, plus the small black center die-cut for the flower. I just used tiny dots of Liquid Multipurpose Glue (I mean TINY!) to adhere the white poppies. You could even add some Peaceful Poppies Sequins if you wanted to.

For fun, I also stamped the inside of the little notecards with a stamp in the Painted Poppies Stamp Set.

And of course the envelopes!

You could even make up a few sets of these Mini Pizza Boxes and notecards and have them on hand for gifts. Who wouldn’t love to receive this little gift?!

If you want details on how I decorated the Mini Pizza Box, check out my blog post HERE from the other day. You can also purchase Gold Mini Pizza Boxes. Both kinds of boxes are food safe so you can even put a cookie or brownie or candy inside! These boxes are great to have on hand. They store flat so they don’t take up any space. All you have to do it pull one out and decorate it for whatever occasion and put something inside. Use this Peaceful Poppies Pizza Box 3 x 3 Notecards idea and use it for your inspiration!

Peaceful Poppies Happiness Card

Peaceful Poppies Happiness Card

This Peaceful Poppies Happiness Card is another fairly simple card to make! This card opens at the top instead of the side just for something different. It uses a strip of the beautiful Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper. Just wait until you get your hands on this beautiful designer paper!

To make this card, the card base is 11 1/2″ x 4 1/2″, folded in half with the fold at the top. I chose Real Red Cardstockalthough I don’t think that’s actually a coordinating color with the designer paper, but I think it looks fine together.

For a little extra interest, I stamped a poppy and stem from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set on the Real Red cardstock that isn’t covered by the designer paper. I inked it up and stamped off before stamping on the card. I could also have used Versamark Ink for that watermark look. If you had ribbon, you could wrap some ribbon around the designer paper before adhering it to the front of the card.

The greeting is from the Sending You Thoughts Stamp Set, one you can get FREE during Sale-A-Bration with a $50 purchase. I stamped it on Whisper White with Real Red ink and then die cut it with a label die in the Painted Labels Dies. Then I used Flirty Flamingo Cardstock and die cut another label in the same set, cut it in half and used it under the top and bottom of the greeting. It just adds a little something although just the greeting die cut with that label die with a little embossed border around the edge was just fine by itself.

You will probably want to get the Painted Poppies Stamp Set and the Painted Labels Dies together in the Painted Poppies Bundle and save 10%!
