Poppy Moment Layering Dies - At Last


One thing I have been waiting for from Stampin' Up! is those beautiful layering dies, especially the floral ones, and I was so excited to finally see them in the Jan/Jun Mini Catalogue, with the new *Poppy Moments Dies. They are bundled with a sentiment set called *Peaceful Moments, which I haven't purchased yet, but they really need no stamp set to go with them. They create beautiful images all on their own.

It is a little confusing because there is another poppy stamp set called *Painted Poppies, but it has its own coordinating set of dies called *Painted Labels Dies.

*These products are from the upcoming 2020 Stampin' Up! Jan. - Jun. Mini Catalogue and won't be available for customer purchase until Jan. 3/20.

Anyway, each flower has a background, an outline layer and a center, and the leaves also have two layers. You can see it better in the close up:

  • For the background on these poppies, it may look like I've sponged or smooshed, or used the Pigment Sprinkles, but it was really much easier than that. I used the See a Silhouette Designer Series Paper. Two of the designs have perfect colours for the poppies.
  • The outlines for the flowers are Real Red and Poppy Parade. The leaves are Old Olive for the background and Mossy Meadow for the shadows.
  • The white background was die cut with the Stitched Rectangles Dies.
  • The sentiment came from the *Forever Blossoms stamp set that is part of the *Parisian Blossoms Suite. I kept everything else very simple because the flowers and foliage are so bold and detailed.
*These products are from the upcoming 2020 Stampin' Up! Jan. - Jun. Mini Catalogue and won't be available for customer purchase until Jan. 3/20.

I hope you are getting good and excited about the products that will be available to you in only 11 days! I have only scratched the surface here and I'm overflowing with ideas for them! And with Sale-A-Bration as well, it's enough fun to get us through the dreary winter months ahead.
