Sometimes I like to make a half-sheet (8-1/2" x 5") of my own patterned paper. This is one of those times, and I made 3 cards out of it. I used the "Painted Poppies" stamp set (Item #1515996), plus some other stamp sets for the greetings.
Here are all three cards together.
On this first card I used a 5" x 4-1/4" piece of the paper that I had randomly stamped with the Painted Poppies stamp set. I used the Aqua Brush to watercolor the flowers and leaves, and also to splatter the whole piece. Then I cut the piece on the diagonal at 1-1/2" inches from the top end to 1-1/2" inches from the bottom end, then I split it so that there is a diagonal empty strip that sort of runs through the center. I really like this one. I also used the "Poppy Moments" dies to make the die-cut flower and leaf, and I mounted them on a cardstock vellum piece punched out with the Starburst punch. The greeting is from the "Timeless Tulips" stamp set. I added a few sequins for a little bit of shine from the Peaceful Poppies Sequins.

This second card used a 1-3/4" x 5" piece of the patterned paper that I had stamped. The card base is Calypso Coral color, with a "Basket Weave 3D" embossed panel in the center. I also used some black twine from the Country Club Twine Combo Pack for a little bit of texture, and the Clear Epoxy Droplets add a little bit of shine and dimension. The greeting came from the "Peaceful Moments" stamp set, which is part of the Peaceful Poppies suite, just like the Painted Poppies stamp set. I punched the greeting out with the Timeless Label punch.

The third card used the remaining piece of patterned paper ( 5" x 2-1/2") that I made. The green piece (5" x 1-1/2") is embossed with the "Layered Leaves 3D" embossing folder, and is mounted underneath the edge of the poppy-stamped piece. I used one of the black, embossed pieces that comes from the "Peaceful Poppies Elements" pack. It was longer that I wanted it, so I cut it in half, and shortened it underneath the circular medallion piece. The greeting comes from the "Perfectly Framed" stamp set, and was die-cut into a circle shape using Poppy Parade cardstock, the black flag piece is next, and then there is a Calypso Coral scalloped circle on the bottom. The circle and the scalloped circle are from the Layering Circles dies. I finished it off with a few Peaceful Poppies Sequins that I glued on to the front.

I hope you like my cards. It was a lot of fun making them, especially using the patterned paper that I made myself.
Let me know if you would like to order any of the items that I used. I know it looks like a lot of items, but a lot of them are repeated on each card.
If you would like to order any of the items that I used to make these cards, feel free to contact me through the comments, and I can get with you to help you place your order.
Thanks again for stopping by,
Kathryn
