More Poppies - Yes, Please!

The ladies that come to my stamping classes all wanted more poppies!  So I held a Stamp-a-Stack card class where they could make 8 cards using the Peaceful Poppies designer papers.  I saw the idea online by Patty Bennett and decided to make it happen.

I purchased 3 packages of the Peaceful Poppies elements for the class.  This gave each of the ladies some Poppy embellishments to work with for their cards.  Because we were making so many cards, we had to keep the stamping and cutting to a minimum.

I think everyone had a good time and now I have a nice supply of cards to give out! We used the Peaceful Moments stamp set for our sayings.  I really like the font and the saying in this set.  It's been a staple for our 2020 projects so far. 

So simple and so beautiful!  Which color combo is your favorite?

Poppies Parading Everywhere!

When I first got the new mini catalog, I wanted to recreate the front page and put poppies everywhere in my craft area!  Well, I never did that, but I have made a lot of cards with the Peaceful Poppies suite.

I ordered some mini calendars from Amazon and made these cute little desktop calendars.  They are made with a "W" shaped piece in the center so that they stand up and don't collapse.  I used some Poppy designer paper and added one of my favorite stamps - Do something creative every day.  Although it doesn't say, Be creative every day, it's pretty close to my business and website name.  Then I cut our a bird and flower from the Bird Ballet papers to decorate it. I got the idea from Mary Knabe.  I love how it came out.

Our first card uses both the Poppy Moments and the Painted Label dies.  The only stamping is the saying.  I used the Peaceful Moments sympathy saying, but you can put any saying that you want on this card.  This idea is from Bonnie O'Neill.

Look how sweet these two go together.  :)

I just love this next card!  I got the idea from Jaimie Babarczy.  At first I made the card using Rococco Rose, but I like it better made with Real Red. 

It's a more subtle way to showcase the poppies.

When I plan for my classes, I like to make the projects coordinate.  I just love how these all came out.

Lastly in this collection, is this card made using the beautiful Poppy papers.  The paper is so amazing that you don't even have to add much to make it a nice card. 

All that I added to these is some ribbon an a saying. 

The ladies who came to this class all loved the cards, the papers, the poppies, etc.  What is not to love about this?
