Nature and Nurture Preview: Day 3

Hi there! If you’ve found your way here to the blog today, you may know it’s the last day of our Nature and Nurture collection sneak peeks — but if you missed the first two days, just scroll on down to catch up on the beauty and creative sparks that are flying every which way!

In our part of the town, kids are heading back to school. While it still feels a bit summery out, there’s no mistaking that fall is going to be here sooooon! And with fall’s arrival, I will hope to be among the lucky ones to pick out the coolest hybrid pumpkins from the farmer’s market! The ones that make you say, “I didn’t know that gourds came in all of these cool colors!” I’m a sucker for those beauties — bigtime — but even then, you can’t go wrong with traditional orange. With four kids in the house, we always have plenty of the orange pumpkins lining our stairs, and I just have to hope that the postal carriers are now used to my displays on the front stairs. I do try to leave a bit of a walkway, of course, meandering to our door, but other than that, it’s a decorative gourd minefield.

Hope I don’t trip over the display myself on the way back to my studio from a walk up to Starbucks for my pumpkin spice latte....

I’ve designed a stamp set for this awesome time of year, celebrating all of these fall-y sensations, and when you see the images and sentiments packed into it, I hope that you too will be “Feeling Fall”...

We’ve got three large images, a few small accents, and some sentiments to boot! Did somebody say boot? Wellies (rubber rain boots) are all the rage at my daughter Lulu’s school, so I had to include one in a stamp set, they are just too cute to leave out! Our plaid wellie is filled with branches from a Japanese maple (based on the Acer Singokaku we have growing in the garden), but they can be colored up anyway you’d like! Maybe I’ll have to recreate this look on my front porch this year. Though I doubt Lulu will donate her welly to the cause... can’t really blame her. :)

Introducing this really fun set that I hope will be a must-have for your crafty stash... #currentmood: Feeling Fall.

Now, I know I’ve been saying that the Bloom Brigade are going all out with awesome creations to get you all buzzed up over this release... but you haven’t seen what they’ve done with Feeling Fall. Get ready for some of the cutest cards of the year!

Nature and Nurture Preview: Day 2

Did you enjoy yesterday’s showcase peeks of our new clear stamps? I was so giddy to start sharing this collection of images called Nature and Nurture, which range from meandering stems that could have been plucked from the prairie, to curated blooms popped into a vase, to fall’s colorful gifts presented with fresh perspective.

Today’s stamp set peeks feature two images that folks have been asking, asking, asking to see in clear polymer. I hope that it makes you a little bit excited to see what we’re sharing with you today....

Anybody recognize these? We’ve selected two very popular digital images: Sunshine of My Life and Sunflower Power — and bringing them together in a sort of sunflower supernova!

What more could you want, I’m asking ya. How about some highly versatile mix-and-match sentiments? We have those in this set, too!! The coloring possibilities with these sunflowers is totally off the charts. As I’ve mused in past blog posts, my sunflowers were a sort of ode to Van Gogh’s series painted in the South of France in the late 1800s. He arranged and painted tens of canvases in the most saturated of pigments and delicate variances of color. They became not only famous, but iconic. My ink drawing gives you a headstart to creating a rich bouquet of sunflowers, but YOU are the colorist, you are the artist dictating how these vibrant creatures will come to life! Isn’t that so much fun? Can you believe we get to be doing this?

I pinch!!! Myself — not you.

Let’s run ’round and see what the Bloom Brigade design team has made today. My friends, I’m going to warn you, I’ve gotten a headstart as gazing upon their cards, and they are all exQUISite!!!

Thank you for stopping by the Power Poppy Blog for our little reveal today. If you come tomorrow, you’ll be rewarded with some seriously cute inspiration from our team. They really are the bees knees!!

Nature and Nurture Preview: Day 1

Happy Tuesday, dear ones!

What a very exciting day, as not only are we sneak-peeking a brand new clear polymer stamp set and getting a glimpse into a ton of different ways to use it, but it’s Lulu and Finn’s first day of school (5th and 8th). Back into the routine we go... can I get an amen? It’s been such a nice summer for us: vacations with family and friends, swimming pool and skate park visits, bike rides and lazy mornings (for the kids, not so much for the adults) — but I am ready to get back to the regular school schedule. Just a bit. Or maybe two bits. Okay, four bits.

Today’s peeks are from a set called Prairie Cheer that works beautifully on its own—but is also a companion to the set we showed yesterday, Pure Prairie Bouquet. [Now, the bouquet is currently only available in digital format, but for the patient folks out there, know that we’ll be bringing out that one in clear as well in the future!]

Prairie Cheer was inspired by my jaunts to the wildflower restoration that’s going on near my house with all manner of native plants, but also by my travels this summer with roadtrips through the heartland. What do you see while you’re on a roadtrip through the Midwest and you take the scenic route (which takes forever but is so much more fun!)? Beautiful pastures! Rich farmland! Roads lined with nodding wildflowers! And in our area of the U.S., you’ll see acres of corn, soybeans, and wheat, wheat, wheat.

What I thought we really needed for a stamp set was a little sprinkling of several of these beautiful plants, drawn simply, wispily. So that for our customers sitting down to make a card with Power Poppy images, it could be both a joyful affair and not take quite so long to color. Or not be colored in at all, to be elegant enough to stand on their own. Along with, of course, some very sweet sentiments to help somebody else feel good. Which of course makes US feel good in the process! Presenting, Prairie Cheer.

While this set is available for pre-order, it will be fully revealed and start shipping on Friday, August 19th! Along with TWO MORE new clear sets. And you probably need all of them, let’s be honest. ;)

What a showcase we have for you today with Prairie Cheer! Take it away, Bloomies...
