The Poppy Moments Die Set is amazing, and definitely a favorite. I love how this flower fits together like a jigsaw puzzle.
First, I cut the flower from Basic White Cardstock. Then, I used the same die to cut a flower from Sand & Sea Designer Paper, and filled in the six petals with the pretty, red pattern.
Poppy in Oval
Before gluing the poppy together, I prepared the background. The card base is Pear Pizzazz Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″, folded at 4 1/4″. It is layered with Basic White Cardstock, 4″ X 5 1/4″.
The oval was created with a Layering Ovals Die, which I used to cut a stencil. Then, I placed the stencil over the white layer, using Pear Pizzazz Ink for coloring. I would have used a Blending Brush to apply the ink, but I was away from my craft room, so used a paper towel and my finger. It worked surprisingly well!
Next, I cut two leaves from the Pear Pizzazz (inked with a paper towel) paper, and glued them to the sides of the oval. And, now, I put the poppy together like a jigsaw puzzle.
I used two more Poppy Moments Dies for the center of the flower with Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow Cardstock.
Last, I stamped “Thank you,” from the Sweet Ice Cream Stamp Set, in Pear Pizzazz Ink, and my clean & simple card was complete. Isn’t the font great?
I was inspired by the Paper Players.
