Good morning, crafty friends!
Black Friday is here! The team at Power Poppy is kicking off the holiday shopping season with an incredible Black Friday sale AND four fabulous new digital stamp sets!!! In fact, it's the BIGGEST sale AND BIGGEST digital release EVER! Now is most definitely the time to stock up on Power Poppy stamps and digital images! ***ENTER CODE: BIGSALE to get 30% OFF STOREWIDE — now through Tuesday!
The Bloom Brigade & Instant Gardener teams have joined efforts to showcase the four beautiful new digital stamp sets being released today. You are in for a treat, my friends!
I chose to work with the Boxwood and Cranberries Wreath set. I printed it in black ink on X-Press It Blending Card, and colored it with the following Copic Markers and Spica Glitter Pens.
It really takes only a few markers to create a wow look with this set. The Spica Glitter Pens were used to add shimmer and sparkle to the cranberries, as well as the sentiment. I colored right over the words with the Clear Spica Glitter Pen, and colored the shadow side of the berries with the Lipstick Spica Glitter Pen & bright side of the berries with the Red Spica Glitter Pen. Here's a little bit of a better view of the sparkle:
I promise it is MUCH prettier in person, just not so easy to capture that sparkle in a photograph. It really adds a festive feel to the card.
The pretty glittery strips along the bottom of the card are a fairly new product from X-Press It... Deco Tape! Deco Tape comes in foil, glitter, and paper varieties, and also in both wide and narrow widths. Oh, and there are lots of pretty colors too! It is seriously great stuff for dressing up your cards, scrapbook pages, planners, holiday gifts...you name it!
I used the 6mm Glitter Deco Tape on my card, which comes in a 10-roll package from white to black and everything in between.
Here are a few additional features of the tape:
- Over 15 ft of tape on each role
- Tears easily by hand
- Reusable packaging stores tape neatly
- Peels off cleanly and does not leave residue
- Narrow and flexible for precise application
All in all, it gets two BIG thumbs up from me!
Oh, and one more thing before you go... There is a $1 Mystery Digital Stamp set in the Power Poppy store right now!!! So get on over there and FIND IT! :D
Next up, you'll want to grab yourself a cup of coffee & check out the other designers' fabulous creations today! Have fun, and happy shopping! :)
Have an AMAZING day, friends! Thanks so much for visiting!

Beautiful! I love the new tape, it is really pretty but I love your coloring best of all. The little bit of purple is so mysterious and pretty!
