These Are the Moments

The Painted Poppies Suite Collection came out with a flurry in 2019 with the Jan-June Mini Catalog. The Product Suite was huge with the most beautiful Designer Series Paper. It was all so beautiful it was easy to be distracted from the simple elegance found in the Painted Poppies Cling Stamp Set. And let’s not forget the Painted Labels Dies with some of the prettiest labels and accents, plus dies to match the poppies and leaves stamps. This versatile set and coordinating dies makes beautiful cards and when I saw this pretty card by Krista Thomas, I HAD to try it. I was really interested in figuring out how she added ink to the embossing folder.
