Power Poppy: Introducing Burst of Kindness & Succulent Singles

Howdy and welcome to Day Two of the Power Poppy “Spring Fling” Collection reveal.

Today we have two brand new stamp sets to reveal…

Introducing… Burst of Kindness!
This stamp includes this gloriously ginormous bouquet of Spring florals and some buzzy friends.  It’ll fit perfectly in your stamp stash.

And secondly, introducing… Succulent Singles!
This awesome 12 image & sentiment stamp set collection will go great with our first Succulent stamp success, our Sassy Succulents stamp collection. This beautiful stamp also includes a coordinating die set – you can pre-order the dies on March 14th but save some money and buy the set as a stamp & die combination at a reduced price.  Woohoo!

So I have a card to share for each set today.  First off is the Burst of Kindness stamp collection.  I decided to spot light one of my favourite parts of the stamp set, this beautifully delicate butterfly out on one of the long sleek leaves of the bouquet.
Prismacolor Pencils: Cream, Goldenrod, Poppy Red, Crimson Red, 
Carmine Red, Apple Green, Dark Green, Light Aqua, Sienna Brown, Dark Brown

I used some Prismacolor Colored Pencils to colour and highlight this little fella.

And for my second card creation using the awesome Succulent Singles collection, I decided to channel my inner blues…
Copic Markers: BG11, BG13, BG32, B95, B97

I really like the rustic but almost nautical feel to this card!

All of the stamp shown today go on sale on March 14th.  All dies will go on pre-order sale on March 14th as well.

Thanks for stopping by today!  Now come and check out what my fellow Bloom Brigaders have created for you to drool over!

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great time hopping along today!  Come back again tomorrow for TWO more brand new stamp sets!

Power Poppy: Introducing... Natural Beauties!

Hooray!  The day is here!!  It’s Day One of our five day release for Power Poppy!  For this release we don’t have just 5 new clear stamp sets, we have EIGHT!  Yessiree!

This first delightful Spring themed stamp set is overflowing with blooming beauties!  It features all kinds of flowering bulbs and woodland wild flowers.  This stamp set is dear to my heart as it features some of the woodland wild florals I grew up with in South Western Ontario as a child growing up in the middle of a sugar maple bush.  I just adore the Trilliums and the Lily of the Valley in this stamp set.

Meet…  Natural Beauties from the Spring Fling Collection….
And YES... you read that right!  There are coordinating dies with this stamp set!!!!  WOOHOO!

Coordinating dies for the Natural Beauties stamp set will be available for pre-order on March 14th.  Stay tuned for news on special pricing if you buy the stamp set and the coordinating die as a bundle!

For my card today, I wanted to keep it extra simple so it’s a single layer card using Copic Markers to colour in the images.  I used my Copic Air Brush to colour in the soft yellow back ground today – super quick and easy to start!

Copic Markers: RV10, RV13, RV17, RV55, R12, R39, BG000, Y02, Y04, YG01, YG03, YG07, YG17, YR000, E11, E13, E17, E19, E21, E23, E27, E29 

Now, take a few moments and check out what my fellow Bloom Brigade gals have to share with you today! 

Thanks for stopping by!  Have a great time hopping along today!  Come back tomorrow for TWO more brand new stamp sets!

Light Posts & a LOT of Giveaways!

Happy Thursday all!

I’m almost ready with all of my Power Poppy creations for our 5 day new clear stamp release beginning tomorrow!  I have one more card I want to create but I wanted to share one simple card plus a few giveaway details!

So my card today features the digital stamp set called Wreath: Succulents and Baubles and the sentiment is from the Simple Joys stamp set.


The beauty of digital stamps is that you can resize them to suit your needs.  Since my little lamp post was so small in scale, I knew I’d have to make my little wreath quite small.  It actually measures just under 3/4”… it’s so cute though isn’t it?  LOL

Don't forget to load up on digi's to colour too...
