Welcome to the Big Top Circus!

Hi Crafty Friends,
I am so excited to introduce you to the My Pretty Things Circus Collection. This collection has darling circus stamps, papers, ephemera, enamel dots, and sayings. My puppy Maddie and me were a Ringmaster and Lion for Halloween last year so I used the entire collection to make 4 scrapbook pages featuring our awesome costumes.

Nordic Garden

Hi Crafty Friends,
I love Poppy Stamps Nordic Garden Collection. I created a garden of my favorite color flowers, yellow with a matching watering can using Poppy Stamps Nordic Watering Can 2781, Poppy Stamps Scatter Flowers 2773 and framed with Poppy Stamps Fine Eyelet Frames Dies. I used glittery clear dew drop gems to make the water that is sprinkling my yellow garden.

Make Crafty Friends Q & A:
Q: What are your favorite color flowers?
A: Me? Yellow

Step #1: I began by creating my watering can out of different shades of yellow paper from the Poppy Stamps Sunrise 6x6 Paper Pad SP103.

Step #2: I die cut the Nordic Scatter Flowers in all the shades of yellow and yellow plaid paper and lined them up to make it easy to mix and match.

Step #3: I mix and matched the darker yellows, paler yellow, and plaids to make an extravagant garden for the bottom of my card. I layered the frame dies and arranged the flowers on the bottom of the smallest frame layer.

Step #4: I finished my card by adding the water can to the top right corner, tilted to pour the "water" (glittery clear gems) onto my garden. I added two banner sentiments from the Poppy Stamps Sentimental Banners Stamp & Die Set.
