Now, on to today’s card. How I love the Poppy Moments Dies! Keep scrolling to see how I used them for this “jigsaw” technique. I designed a “twin” card with nearly the same supplies, which I’ll share tomorrow.
Hello Poppies
I began by using a Poppy Moments leaf die to cut a pattern on Whisper White Cardstock. Then, I glued this to a Thick Whisper White card base.
Coloring the poppies was easy and fun! I used the “splotch” stamp from the Painted Poppies Stamp Set, and stamped on Thick Whisper White Cardstock with three colors: Petal Pink, So Saffron, and Poppy Parade (of course). Then, I used a Poppy Moments Die for cutting, carefully keeping all the petals in order for today’s card, and the “frame” for tomorrow’s card.
Next, I used the same Poppy Moments Die to cut two Thick Whisper White “frames.” This time, I discarded the white petals. Then, I glued the white “frames” on top of the leaves, and placed the twelve petals like a “jigsaw” puzzle. Fun!
I used another Poppy Moments Die for the centers, and added some black sequins. “Hello” is from the Timeless Tropical Stamp Set, a perfect little sentiment.
The supplies I used are in my Product List below, so click on the pictures, and have fun shopping. Keep in mind, Sale-A-Bration ends March 31, so order the Poppy Moments Dies while they’re available. And, if you plan to spend 99.00, you should think about joining my team for added benefits.

Love this card and the colors you used. Thanks for sharing!!
I absolutely LOVE this technique. Have you used any other stamp sets this way? I’m curious about using the pansy patch set thinking it might work but all of those die pieces are baffling me. !!
Hi Lois, it’s a fun technique, but I wouldn’t attempt it with the pansy set. Look for something with larger pieces.
I love this card and made one today. Thanks for the inspiration.
Wow! Your card totally caught my eye as I was perusing Pinterest. I’m now going to sea ch for your second card in the series. Thanks so much for sharing.
I so love these Su. That is such a fabulous, effective technique and you have inspired me to give it a go. I will of course link back to your blog . Thanks for the inspiration. x
