Poppy Birthday

#stampinup   #faithfulinkspirations   #ProTipTuesday    Goodness gracious me! The Peaceful Poppies Suite of products on pages 24 through 27 of the January to June Mini Catalog is simply gorgeous! The suite has two stamp sets and two matching sets of dies plus designer series paper, sequins, ribbon, and other elements. We made this stunning card at the OnStage event in November. And now that the mini catalog is live, you can order the products to make this card--and so much more--too!

Do you see the subtle poppy outlines on the card base? That's your PROTIP for today: Use Versamark to stamp a background on solid card stock. Here, we stamped the larger poppy and leaf images from the "Painted Poppies" stamp set in Versamark onto a Poppy Parade Card Stock base.

Then we adhered a 2-1/4" by 3-3/4" piece of striped Old Olive Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper directly onto the card. We adhered a 2" by 3-1/2" piece of floral DSP on top of that, at a light angle, for interest. Next, we stamped a sentiment from the "Peaceful Moments" stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black at the end of a 1-1/2" by 3" piece of Whisper White Card Stock, tearing the end for a little texture. We adhered this to the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

To finish the card, we adhered a bow of 1/4" Crinkled Whisper White Seam Binding with a Mini Glue Dot and use the Fine-Tip Glue Pen to adhere three Peaceful Poppies Sequins.

I love this card! It's simple and elegant! As always, you can purchase any of the supplies to make this card by clicking on the thumbnails below. If you want to purchase the entire suite, you can do that with one item code: 153938. And if you do that, you'll earn three Sale-a-Bration items! Woot!
