Hello and welcome to October’s Stampin’ Creative Blog Hop. With November just a few short days away we have a theme of Remember. I chose to create something to reflect Remembrance day as I thought it would be nice to do something seen as the usual activities will be different in this strange year.

So here’s my Poppies for Remembrance card.

How to make a Remembrance Card with dies

Using the large poppy die from Poppy Moments Dies I created the white on white background. It can get a little fiddly to adhere the thinner parts, but so worth the effort in my opinion – don’t you think?
Once the background was created I wanted to create a contrast in the focus element so opted for a strong black banner.

The poppies needed to be bright and bold, so I created a background wash on Shimmer Card using my ink pad, a block and the Stampin’ Spritzers. Then I stamped onto the background to create my 3 poppies with Stazon ink – this is needed due to the watercolour nature of the background.

Finished the remembrance card by stamping and die-cutting some leaves in Old Olive and sticking the focus elements to my black banner and a sentiment from Peaceful Moments stamp set.

These 2 poppy styled bundles are so versatile and gorgeous and really work well together … maybe something to add to your Christmas list!

So now it’s time to check out the rest of the Stampin’ Creative and see what fabulous projects they have to share.
