 These 4 cards feature the Poppy Moments Die Set from Stampin' Up!.


The following cards were made similarly.  I began by making the flowers.  I cut a solid flower piece out of Whisper White CS, sponged it with ink and then dotted it using one of the texture stamps from the Touches of Texture Stamp Set.  Then I cut one of the segmented flower pieces from a piece of cardstock that coordinated with the ink color I used to color the piece above, for these cards I only used the outline piece that was cut, not the petals, to make my flowers.  I glued the outline piece to the solid flower piece of the same cardstock color.  I cut coordinating flower center pieces and attached them as shown.  


For this first card the bottom mat was cut from Poppy Parade CS, the top mat was cut from a piece of Peaceful Poppies DSP.  The Whisper White flower bases were sponged and stamped with the texture stamp, listed in the description above, using Poppy Parade Ink.  The flower centers were cut from Whisper White CS. The flower buds were cut from Poppy Parade CS. The leaves were cut from Old Olive CS and sponged with some Old Olive Ink for contrast. The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set, it was stamped with Poppy Parade Ink on a scrap piece of Whisper White CS and cut out with one of the Stitched Labels Dies. Both of the flowers and the sentiment were popped up with Dimensionals. And lastly some Enamel Dots added to the flower centers.





For this next card the bottom mat was cut from Poppy Parade CS, the top mat as cut from a piece of Peaceful Poppies DSP.  The flower for this card is made just like the one in the card above.  The leaf pieces were cut from Granny Apple Green and Old Olive CS.  The flower buds were cut from Poppy Parade CS.  I added an additional rectangular mat cut from a piece of Vellum, that I embossed with the Scripty Embossing Folder and added it onto the top mat before attaching the die cut pieces to the card (I loved this effect on the Vellum).  I used the same sentiment and ink as above, but this one was cut out using one of the Rectangle Stitched Framelits Dies. Both the flower and sentiment were popped up with Dimensionals. Lastly adding a few Glitter Enamel Shapes to the card front.






For this next card the bottom mat was cut from Petal Pink CS, the top mat was cut from a piece of Good Morning Magnolia DSP.  The flower for this card was made as described in the intro, the outline piece was cut from Petal Pink CS, the white base piece was sponged and dotted with Petal Pink Ink.  The leaves were cut from Old Olive  and Granny Apple Green CS. The flower buds were cut from Petal Pink CS.  The sentiment is from the Good Morning Magnolia Stamp Set and was stamped on a scrap piece of Whisper White CS with Old Olive Ink. The flower on the right side and the sentiment were popped up with Dimensionals. 








For this last card the bottom mat was cut from Poppy Parade CS and embossed using the Brick & Mortar Embossing Folder.  The top mat was cut from Flirty Flamingo CS using one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies, then it was embossed using the Subtle embossing Folder.  The flower for this card was made as described in the intro, the base piece was cut from Whisper White CS and sponged and dotted with Poppy Parade Ink.  The outline piece was also cut from Whisper White CS. The leaves were cut from Old Olive and Granny Apple Green CS. The buds were cut from Flirty Flamingo CS and then dotted using the same texture stamp with Flirty Flamingo Ink.  The sentiment is from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set and was stamped on a scrap of Whisper White CS with Poppy Parade Ink, and die cut using one of the Stitched So Sweetly Dies. The flower and sentiment were popped up with Dimensionals.  Lastly I added some coordinating Enamel Shapes to the card front.
