At my Stampin' Up! Team day this weekend I gave everyone a packet that contained supplies and challenged them to make a card in 30 minutes. They all had the same supplies and were able to use the new stamp set Label Me Bold in the Spring mini along with Poppy Parade and Memento Tuxedo Black ink pads. They also had access to a pot of the Peaceful Poppy sequins to use. I only used one for my card, but have since cheated and added two or three red rhinestones.
I love the modern on trend feel of the Label Me Bold stamp set. It's great for creating backgrounds to bold images like these poppy die cuts. I used two of the stamps with the black ink and stamped off to get 3rd generation ink to make it a softer shade of black. I added the bold hearts and then stamped two sentiments and free hand cut them out. It was really quick to do and is a great way to have a bunch of cards made quickly for adding a sentiment to later or for one when you need a card in a rush.
The Poppy Elements are worth looking at closer. They include embossed black borders and label shapes, vellum embossed poppy flowers and leaves and also on watercolour card and finally these fab printed die cuts that make it really easy to add a pop of colour. You get 2 sheets of each and they only cost £6. They are a great add on for all sorts of designs, but as well as working particularly well with our lovely new poppy stamps and die sets they look great with this modern set Label Me Bold.
You can see them all in my Stampin' Up! online shop.
Any questions about them or anything else Stampin' Up! related drop me a line at zoetant@live.co.uk and I'll do my best to help or point you in the right direction of someone who can.
Happy crafting
