Poppy Centre Step Card (posted by Claire)

Hi there, Claire here with a centre step card made using stamps from both Pretty Poppies and Dusky Damask


I don't know about you but I always struggle with these type of cards (well any kind of fancy fold really) but Glenda's template really does make it a lot easier. You can find it here

I was pleased that the gorgeous floral borders from Dusky Damask fitted the template beautifully. I just stamped them, coloured with promarkers and matted on some red card before attaching to the card base. I  used two strips of the narrow border and covered the join with a sentiment from Pretty Poppies and a creative acrylic tag. The main image is from Pretty Poppies, again coloured with promarkers and matted on red card. I didn't want a lot of embellishments with these gorgeous images so I just added some little red gems.

I hope you're getting lots of inspiration from our samples, as you can see we all loved working with these gorgeous new stamps

  4. Simply siper Claire. Very Christmassy in a non-Christmassy way if you know what I mean. This would look stunning done with the Poinsettia stamps I have - it's not on the website so it must be discontinued.

  5. Absolutely lovely match with those border elements & I have to agree - the gems add just that little bit - not too little or too much. The picking out of the wording in red is gorgeous & the little blue butterfly so real.
