Christmas Remix begins today!

Welcome, friends, to Power Poppy’s holiday party. We’re doing things a little differently this year, and hope you find it just as exciting as ever. 

We are giving some love to the classics, the favorites, the time-tested stamp designs that helped make us a company you turn to for Christmas card making. They are offered at sale prices, so if you still need these sets, time to scoop ’em up. There will be new images, too, and a few surprises along the way.

Today’s kick-off has to be one of the top sets on our list, an exuberant Poinsettia with pine sprays and baby pomegranates...

This one still gets me in the feels after all these years. I remember walking through the Missouri Botanical Garden and spying potted pomegranates with tiny fizzy flowers sprouting at the ends, and I thought to myself... I need to draw those darling things! Special details like this help make our designs a little different from everyone else... based in a love of botany, art, and the joy of living.

Here’s what’s extra fun about our Christmas Remix release.... we have several new designers showing off what can be done with these stamps, along with some of our founding team members revisiting them — and the results are going to blow you away!

You can grab these sets on sale during our Christmas Remix — check ’em out in the Power Poppy shop.

Let’s check in with everybody and see what they’ve created for our hop — everyone has been working sooooo hard to create exciting cards, be sure to leave a note to let the designers know you’re enjoying their cool creations.

Thank you to everyone — and we are looooooving reading all of your comments on yesterday’s blog post and the Facebook post — thanks for reminding us why we do what we do, because you guys are so totally filled with good vibes and you make us feel good!

You've been asking for it... Poinsettia now in DIGITAL

Hello my dear friends!!

We have soooooo much to catch up on — and I can’t wait to do just that. Truly, I have been humbled by all of the loving notes of congratulations for my wedding to Doug (as the kids said at the ceremony, “FINALLY!”). Thank you so much for your thoughtful notes, my sweet Peeps. I’m still reeling from the outpouring of love and the beautiful wishes — and some of you even sent me a card! And can you BELIEVE the blog hop that the Bloomies and Instant Gardeners put on — just for us? My heart was about to explode (in the good way). Feelings of gratitude are swirling around me 24/7, and I just want to say thank you, all. I continue to know that I don’t deserve all this extra love, but it sure does feel good to have it rain down on us. Big squishy hugs from Doug, me, and our four children wrapping around all of you! xoxoxo

Today I have some splashy news. An illustration that has been one of our most popular ever ever everrrrrr — Poinsettia — is finally available as a digital stamp set. Say what?! The one I’ve been asking about for three years, you say? OH YEAH!! It’s here and it’s as timelessly beautiful as ever, I’m pleased to report. Introducing... Poinsettia and Pomegranates.

With undulating leaves (did you know that the colorful “petals” of the Poinsettia plants are actually leaves? The flowers are the tiny bud-looking things in the center. The more you know, I tell ya!) — surrounded by a swirl of pine needles and the most fun part of this drawing to my mind... sprays of baby pomegranates on the vine.

This Poinsettia and Pomegranates image is identical to the one you’ll find in the Poinsettia clear stamp set — only with this set, you can BLOW IT UP, flip it, flop it, and do whatever you want to it, because it’s a digital jpg file that you can manipulate on the computer. AND you get two brand new sentiments to choose from. What’s not to love?

Let’s go in depth to see what some of our talented Instant Gardeners have dreamed up for today’s big release. These ladies take our images and finesse them into the most beautifully done creations — they take my breath away each and every time! Get inspired and then get this new digital set for yourself...
