Monochrome Christmas with Snowflake Sentiments

Hi there! Today was a good day, I spent the morning trying to tire out my two year old and was rewarded with him taking a nice long nap, which meant I got to play! I still need to make a lot more Christmas cards and time is running out, but the card I created… Read More Monochrome Christmas with Snowflake Sentiments

Snowflake sentiments in purple and gold

I love combining purple and gold for Christmas projects, such a rich and sumptious mix.  Here I have created a card with matching gift wrap and tag. I kept the card very simple, layering up different elements to build up depth.  I used one of the lovely foil snowflakes from Stampin’ Up! to add some… Read More Snowflake sentiments in purple and gold

Using up your scraps

Have you ever got part way through making a card and then lost your inspiration?  This happens to me more often than I like to admit, and often leaves me with part made cards, embellishments and scraps of card.  In general, I don’t throw anything away; unless it is a complete disaster! Here I have… Read More Using up your scraps

Cheers to the year 1,2,3!

Hi there! I have been doing pretty well recently at creating.  Today however I hit a bit of a block and when I sat down at my craft desk, nothing happened for a while.  I have very limited free time to craft and have to make the most of every minute, so I had a… Read More Cheers to the year 1,2,3!

Carols of Christmas small stamp focus

I love being able to get lots of use out of a stamp set. Stampin’ Up!’s Carols of Christmas stamp set has 2 focal sentiments, and it is very easy to use these to create your card around. For this post however, I have taken some of the smaller elements and used these as the… Read More Carols of Christmas small stamp focus

MFT sketch challenge #305

I’ve been AWOL again, I know…  My little family has moved home and I have been without a craft room for a considerable amount of time.  Worse in fact, my craft supplies have been boxed up and inaccessible for months.  I still don’t have a craft room, but now we have moved I have slowly… Read More MFT sketch challenge #305

Merry Monday #190 Santa!

So I have made it my mission to take part in Kathy Racoosin’s 30 Day Colour Challenge which is running throughout February.  I wanted to do this partly to make me focus on taking some time out to craft each day to keep me happy and also as an excuse to practice my colouring skills –… Read More Merry Monday #190 Santa!

Merry Monday #177 Christmas lights and glitter

Hurrah!  First Christmas card done. I fell in love with the gorgeous Reindeer Games stamp set from Mama Elephant when I first saw their Christmas release.  When I went to buy it though it was out of stock everywhere but luckily I  was able to pre-order it.  Whilst waiting for it to be delivered I… Read More Merry Monday #177 Christmas lights and glitter

Merry Monday #126

Second post of the evening with this card which I would like to enter into this week’s Merry Monday Challenge which is themed ‘The Words Have It’. The idea of this challenge is to create a Christmas card where the sentiment is the star. This sentiment stamp is an old one from Woodware – I… Read More Merry Monday #126

Merry Monday #124

Second post of the day with a very quick and literal take on the Merry Monday challenge this week which is to include a Christmas present on your card. I have used Kaisercraft Christmas design papers to paper piece the presents and picked out some detail using a gold pen. Please leave a comment and… Read More Merry Monday #124

Welcome to Poppaea Cards!

Hi, I am Christine, an Independant Stampin' Up! demonstrator, based in Marlow, England. I love nothing more than playing with card, stamps and ink. Sometimes I make a masterpiece, sometimes I make a mess but I always enjoy the process!

Thanks for reading!

I made a hat! It’s not perfect, it doesn’t look like it’s supposed to, but it’s a hat. And I made it! First time crocheting (after some failed attempts in the past) and I loved it, it is so much more forgiving than knitting. Thank you @makebox.co for walking me through it. I am going to try to make a snood and gloves to go with it now!
Racing fun today at the #gravitygrandprix #gokartracing #summerdays #summersnearlyover #familyfun #icecreamalloverhisface
Meet Tiny! She has been showing some odd behaviour and been out during the daytime, so we have had her checked over by a specialist. She is dehydrated so has been taken away to be given some fluids and get her weight up. All being well, she will be back with us in a few days. #hedgehog #hedgehogsofinstagram #hedgehogstreet #natureinmybackyard #tiny
Thank you cards for Stan’s carers at nursery. Really quick and easy design in order to be able to make them in bulk. I used my #misti to make 5 cards in 30 minutes. Entering this into #aaacardchallenge where the theme is made in minutes.
Stan’s last day at nursery today so we made these #seedpackets full of #wildflowers as leaving gifts for the other children.
Well this has been my favourite #mymakebox so far. Really therapeutic and relaxing, and because of the nature of the project, easy to pick up and pop down whilst looking after the kids. This #rainbowwreath will be going up in my daughter’s nursery.
Change of address cards for my Mummy with this gorgeous stamp from @jofyjo Entering this card into the @aaacardchallenge where the theme is one image
We were lucky enough to find this beautiful dress at a pop up for @wearswilliam and couldn’t wait to try it on. Wren loves her rattle from @albettaonline thank you @fannymarms 😚
Horrid day much improved by some fresh cut flowers from the garden. #hydrangea #freshflowers #flowerstotherescue #homegrown #naturalbeauty #makeabaddaybetter
