The Instant Garden Is HERE!



The big day is here -- one last hurrah to show you some of our favorite ways to use the new Power Poppy Instant Garden! That's right -- it's in an instant because this entire release is digital, meaning you can order, download, print and color in an instant! Just click HERE to see for yourself!

But first, The Bloom Brigade has a little bit of eye candy to show off on this big day and we're calling it the Power Poppy Hop! Grab a cuppa coffee and get ready for some fun as the team shows off a little bit more of their creative artistry!

On to my creation! 

So, how did this card come together? Well, with a lot of fun of course! I printed off the Tulips image on Cougar Opaque White (110 lb.) and then, colored with Copics! I used G20, G40, G43, G46, YG03, YG21, R30, R32, and Y00. 

After I colored it up, I fussy cut around my image and then matted it on one of the elements from the Spellbinders Majestic Labels Twenty Five. While the die was still on, I sponged on some Peach Bellini Ranger Ink and then, decided to layer a few Tim Holtz stencils to add a little more interest. I am not sure I like it -- can't really see it -- but I had fun playing around! I used Dot Fade and Honeycomb. I matted it all up on some Bo Bunny Pin Cushion paper, added a BasicGrey button that was threaded with gold cording and then, I added a border thanks to the A2 Scalloped Borders One. I matted it all up on a white card stock card and ta da.. done! 

Here's a close up! 


And that, my friends is it! Like I said, all of the Power Poppy greatness is ripe for the picking over at the Power Poppy Shop! Want a peek at these four digital stamps in all their glory?

Julie, I know I'm repeating myself, but there's just something about your cards that I always fall head over heels in love with. Could it be the orange of that cute flower-sprigged paper? Or maybe the gingham? Both? Oh, I know -- it's that awesome die cut paired with the scalloped border! Hmmm, come to think of it... I'll bet it's your totally fabulous coloring. Really, it's all of the above, plus the button, of course. Love me some buttons. Great card... again!
