This week I have been exploring different ways that I can use the Painted Poppies bundle. The bundle is part of the bigger Peaceful poppies suite. This suite has so much potential and I wanted to just focus on this element of it.
Monday
Who says poppies have to be red. On Monday I recreated one of the samples from the mini catalogue, using Flirty Flamingo and Rich Razzleberry, The Flirty Flamingo was laid down using a sponge roller. The poppies were water coloured with Rich Razzleberry ink. The fabulous whisper white crinkle seam binding was coloured using Flirty Flamingo and Rich Razzleberry Stampin’ Blends.

The first card I made during Thursday’s Facebook Live was a simple fold that was able to showcase the gorgeous papers in the Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper pack. I was inspired to make this card having seen a post from “Mixed Craft”. You can watch her original video here. Rather than a 12″ long piece of card, I used A4 card, but I still scored it in the same places. It just meant that my card was 4 3/4″ wide, rather than 5″ wide, so I amended the size of the largest paper mat accordingly.
I cut a 7″ strip of black card along the ful length of my A4 piece of card. I scored the card at 3 1/2″ and then flipped the card over and scored it at 1 1/2″ and 7″.
The sizes of the Designer Series Paper that you need are:
- 2 pieces 1 1/4″ x 6 3?4″
- 2 pieces 1 3/4″ x 6 3/4″
- 2 pieces 3 1/4″ x 6 3/4″
- 1 Piece 4 1/2″ x 6 3/4″
The panels were covered with different patterns from the paper pack. The image on the front was created from a Poppy Parade stitched circle with the swirly die from the labels die set on top. The poppies were stamped in Poppy Parade and Rich Razzleberry to tie in with the colour scheme in the paper and arranged on the top.
The second card I made was a very different scheme. For this card I stamped the poppies onto watercolour card and heat embossed with black embossing powder. I used pigment sprinkles to colour the poppies. The 2 smaller poppies were painted with the mango melody. For the larger poppy I lay down a layer of water on the surface and then sprinkled on the mango melody powder and allowed the colour to develop. The leaves were 2 of the vellum leaves from the Peaceful Poppies elements, which were then painted with the Granny Apple Green sprinkles.
The background was a second piece of watercolour card that had a wash of Bermuda Bay sprinkles.
You can see these two cards being created in this video:
