Hello all and HAPPY WEEKEND AHEAD! We have so much fun headed your way, you might just want to grab a cup (or glass) of your favorite drink and settle in for a little visit! What’s going on, you say? We have a new challenge! A fun weekend celebration! A sale! A winner from last month’s Power & Spark Challenge and.... some extra fab creations from our beloved Bloomies!
First up, we card makers love, love, love to create and share and this challenge, hosted by the one and only Cindy “Marathon Mama” Lawrence, is ALL ABOUT sharing! So, let’s hear it for the...
HOW TO PLAY: How many times have you created a card only to have it sit in a basket waiting for that perfect occasion? This time, let’s flip that around and create a card with someone in mind and then, slap a stamp on that baby and put it in the mail! Keep in mind, we want this to be a card “just because.” Sure special occasions are important, but THE HAPPY MAIL CHALLENGE is all about simply sharing the love – not for birthdays or graduations or anniversaries—a “just because you care” kind of card for someone you’ve had on your mind. The challenge runs through June 30th at 8PM EST for a chance at a Power Poppy stamp set of choice.
THE OFFICIAL RULES:
Did you play along in last month’s May Flowers Power & Spark Challenge? Well, if you did, listen up! After putting all the entries into our fancy schmancy number generator, this is who was chosen!
Play along and be a Power Poppy Peep all weekend long! Grab your favorite coloring medium and let’s see what you’ve got. Feeling fruity? Ready to Blossom? Need to crank up the tunes? We feel your passion! Now, put it on paper and show us your finished colored Power Poppy image. Put your link as a comment in the Power Poppy post on Passionate Paper Creations & Friends' Facebook page and we’ll draw one lucky winner to nab a $25 gift code to the Power Poppy Shop.
Well, there has been a lot of blossoming going on in the stamp rooms of some of our favorite card designers. Stop by, say “hi” and as I love to say, prepare to be amazed at the creative talents of our Bloomies!
If all of this wasn’t enough, we should tell you that Power Poppy is back with our Digis on the 5s digital stamp set release, next one is June 5. Sunday, we’ll release a trio of digital stamp sets that are PERFECT for the dudes in your life. These outdoorsy images come just in time to wish those men in your life a very Happy Father's Day! So, be sure to swing by and see what our Power Poppy Peep-in-Chief Marcella has up her insanely talented sleeve!
Until then!

You might have picked up that I called Cindy the "Marathon Mama" -- well, last weekend she entered her very first! So, this little challenge was a beautiful way to share a little love with the friend that trained each and every day with her. How sweet is that and how sweet is this little number?
Cindy used one of my absolute favorite images -- the little cup of buttercups -- in the set Marcella's Mixtape Vol. 1. and dressed it up in such a cute and folksy way. I love the gingham, the twine and the fun little enamel dots she used to set off her perfectly colored image! (Note, this stamp set is out of stock, but look for this sweet up of flowers coming soon to our Instant Garden of digis!)
Doesn't that make you want to jump in your creative space and figure out who to send your work of heart to? Goodness, what fun!
THE OFFICIAL RULES:
- Use Power Poppy stamps for this challenge please!
- Link your creation below using our Linky (please use the exact URL from your post instead of a generic blog address.)
