Welcome to the CardMaker & Poppy Stamps Blog Hop.
I had so much fun playing with these dies. I use a Craftwell Ebosser and the Poppy Stamps dies went through with no problem. I only had to make one pass on the intricate Theo Butterfly die using 110lb card stock.
Woohoo!!!
I die cut the Puffy Cloud Border, then used it as a mask with Versa Magic Aspen Mist ink. I also inked the edges of the butterfly. Tiny white dots are made with irRESISTible Pico Embellisher in Wedding White.
The Maple Leaf Border die is perfect for all of your Fall cards and scrap pages.
The card front was die cut and popped up with foam adhesive. The panel behind that was finished with Metal Gilding Flakes, as was the sentiment (Gorgeous shine!). Tiny twigs are just card stock that have been cut very close to the blade of my Fiskars ProCision cutter...how cute are they?!?
I just had to make something else with the Leaf Border die:
I die cut the leaves and used the negative as a mask for Ferro Graphite Embossing paste (LOVE) to add dimension to this card. Left over leaves were adhered with foam adhesive.

All the cards are wonderful-love how you used the gilding flakes!
Three beautiful projects and all so different Penny! You had me with the soft pastel clouds, and then BAM - the rich deep color, sparkle and shine of the fall beauties! Fabulous post - you made the dies shine!
All gorgeous and so different, beautiful work!
Penny, so pretty. I couldn't pick a favorite because they are all so lovely! All so very pretty!

Penny all three of your project are beautiful! Love the clouds and then the gorgeous leaves on the second card. Beautiful way to show off the poppystamp dies!

You've done a marvelous job on these cards! I love, love, love the clouds and butterflies most of all, just amazing!
Thank you,

Wow...both cards are extraordinarily beautiful.
Your cards are so striking! They really catch your eye and make you want to see more. Thanks!
Fabulous projects. TFS
Your cards are simply beautiful!
All 3 are simply marvelous - but the metal flakes push the second one out of the ball park!
Gorgeous cards! Especially like the first one and the way you did the clouds - very neat!
These are all soooo pretty!! Love the guilded leaves!!
I love that you used both the dies and the negative images for your leaf cards. They are lovely!
Wow...Love the clouds and the layout. The sentiment is so cute. And, those leaves ROCK. TFS
This is so pretty! I love the color and shading in these cards!
Very pretty and I am in love with that Butterfly. Must have it even though its so like my Memory Box one.
I love all your cards. There are fantastics! :)
They are all so different, I think I like the clouds the best though. So soft and dreamy. Thank you for sharing with all of us. Blessings, Lisa

Beautiful cards. Love your technique!
Could positively float among those clouds, lovely! Beautiful soft colors. The border leaves are striking against the fall kraft, and the b/w shades on the 3rd card, completely unexpected. Beautiful work!
Love your leaf projects and the sky you created for your butterfly.
The color on your butterfly is stunning. I love the leaf border die and the metal flakes really move this card into the WOW category. Black & white is such a classic and I never would have thought to try it with leaves but it turned out great.
The cloud card is so cute. I love how you raised dthe top cloud. The leaf cards are gorgeous and I love the twig idea. I never thought to use the tiny strips. Terrific job
Oh! lindos cartões!
Muita inspiração!

I'm lovin' your treatment on the maple leaf! Wow!
Absolutely stunning card. Love how the butterfly and wonderful vellum sentiment float over the clouds. The gilding flakes are stunning. I think I have to get me some of them as well as that ferro embossing paste. I'm going to have to keep an eye out for these mediums.
