October Power & Spark: Mini & Mighty

Hello Power Peeps! I can't honestly believe that we are back here in this color-infused, creative space again ready to issue another Power & Spark Challenge! Where did the month go folks? Well, today the fabulous Stacy Morgan is our hostess with the mostess and this month, she's challenging us to...  THINK SMALL! ;-)



HOW TO PLAY: This challenge is all about cardmaking in a smaller scale! Instead of getting into the particulars, let's hear what Stacy had to say as she ushers in this pint-sized challenge!
“This month is all about mini greetings! All you need to do is create a mini note or card, something that is less than 4" and not your standard card. Let's see what you can do when you create "Mini & Mighty!" 

And, just to show us how big and bold you can go on a mini creation, check out what Stacy did with Power Poppy's brand new digital stamp, Autumn's Opulence!


Check out the fun shape Stacy used to create this small & mighty card! Love the fun layers and I just know that this card you can fit in the palm of your hard would make jaws drop with that combo of vibrant colors! If you'd like the specific deets on how Stacy created this beauty, be sure to stay tuned for our Bloomie link list later in this post!

Now, guess what? It's your turn to use that creative genius of yours to join us in this month's Mini & Mighty Challenge! Why should you play? Well, other than the intense fun, if you are our lucky winner in our random drawing, you'll win a....

SUSAN SUDBURY!!!

Just take a gander at Susan's krafty and sparkly creation! Check out the beautiful debossing Susan added to her card and how she used it as a way to add a little bit of sparkle around Power Poppy's Rose and Chamomile Digital stamp! Susan used Prismacolor pencils to bring this beauty to life and then accented with distress inks around the edges. Breathe it all in, will you?

Until then, live life in full bloom...

Lots of Good Vibes from the 'Tribe!'

Holly smokes folks! What a difference a week makes, eh? Last week, we were celebrating the soon to be nuptials of our peppy, fun-loving Power Poppy Peep-in-Chief. Within 24 hours from that time, these two lovebirds were wed and the world ushered a collective cheer! Since a photo is worth 1,000 words, let's just get into this week's Good Vibe 5!

GOOD VIBE 1. 

Can you even stand it? How incredibly cute is that? If you missed our Wedding Hop that we kicked off in Marcy & Doug's honor, you really need to go back and take a peek! Then, if you want to leave well wishes and haven't yet, click HERE on this post and leave your love in the comment section! Want to see some pics from the big day? It's all over social media folks and the photos are whimsical, dreamy and downright FUN! So click on over to Marcy's Instagram for just a little look-see! 

GOOD VIBE 2.


If you've been surfing around looking for Power Poppy inspiration, you might have set your sights on this little wonder from Nina B. using Power Poppy's Tree Peony digital stamp set. Just take a look at those watercolor effects she brushed on with perfection! It's downright dreamy! While you're surfing, Nina has another card HERE that's also drop. dead. gorgeous! 

GOOD VIBE 3.


Just like I mentioned in the title of this little vibe, you can set the table for creativity with this totes adorbs project from the ever-so-talented Elizabeth Zaffarano! Oh my. Love the little paper pierced edges and if you can't see it in the photo, the edges of her colored up image are gilded. What? Again... oh my! She printed, colored and ran this little number through her Minc. If you want to click HERE, you can see this post and a few others showcasing her colored up foiled creations on her IG. What a beautiful way to make a statement for the upcoming holidays. This one uses Power Poppy's brand new digital stamp set Autumn's Opulence no less! 

GOOD VIBE 4.

Well folks, this one doesn't need a lot in the way of explaining! ;-) You only have two more days to cash in on this good vibe! Simply use 30DAYCOLORING at checkout and BAM, you have more money to spend on feel-good stamps! Yes, call me your official 'enabler!' I'll gladly take the title. If you have your eye on one of our additions to our Instant Garden, don't let this little bunch of savings pass you by!

GOOD VIBE 5.

Before I turn things over to our talented Bloomies, just a little invitation for you to join me for....
