Friday

Are you feeling the (good) vibes?



Hello Power Poppy Peeps! It is.... FRIDAY! And, you all know what that means, right? Come on... of course you do! Not only will we have some eye candy to share from some of the Bloomies, we have a hit list of fun things to click on and check out designed to bring nothing but GOOD VIBES! 

This week we have some extra surprises hidden in this list, so make sure you are reading in between the lines! ;-)



Your Good Vibes 5 Hit List! 

1. Giving a little Power Poppy Love We absolutely sigh when we see Power Poppy fans bring Marcella's illustrations to life and Corinne Jones did just that this week -- several times over! You really need to click HERE to take a little trip to her blog to see exactly what I mean. She has a half dozen cards including this one above using Power Poppy's Trumpet Vine Visitor that are eye-poppingly vibrant and dripping with her coloring talents! 

2. Mixed Media Marvel What do you get when you combine a digital stamp, a stencil, some modeling paste and some mixed media inks? Heidi Jakobs gives us the answer with this showstopper using Power Poppy's Olive & Oak digital stamp set. Click HERE to check out her step-by-step tutorial and.... prepare to be amazed! 

3. I've got a secret! Have you been following the fun over at Passionate Paper Creations and Friend's Facebook page this week? Well, Power Poppy is a sponsor and not only does Ms. Rhea cue up a fun video showing how to transform a spring peony into a autumnal delight, if you become a member of this talented and upbeat group, there just might be a sweet surprise that you could cash in on at the Power Poppy Shop. (Yes, that was your hint!)

4. Delight on Dark I love it when people stretch their creative comfort zones to try new things. "Aussie Annie" knocked our socks off giving texture paste and powders a try to take part in our Creative Confetti Design in the Dark Challenge. Click HERE to check out her experiments using Power Poppy's Azaleas stamp set! 

5. Large & In Charge! Last Saturday the Instant Gardeners hand picked a brand new digi from the Power Poppy Shop and I mean to tell you, there are so many different takes on our brand new set Bountiful Bouquet that you might just want to take a trip back in time -- or just click HERE -- to see all the fabulous ways these designers used this stunning fall-themed bouquet! 

Now these next few tidbits could easily be number 6 and number 7 on the good vibes list but that would push us over the edge! So, oblige me as I share! ;-)

Digis on the 5s: Trumpet Vine Visitor

Hello my friends, it’s a beautiful day to add a new digital download to the Power Poppy shop, don’t you think? I’m reviving my schedule of releasing remixed illustrations on the 5th and 25th of the month — we call it “Digis on the 5s” around these parts. Look for familiar illustrations given a freshening up along with new sentiments on these release days. On the 15th of the month, you’ll find a brand new digital download offering from my drawing board. Hope you’ll join us!

Today’s digital stamp release features a flowering vine with a sweet little hummingbird, introducing:

Trumpet Vine Visitor



An intricate, arching stem of trumpet vine heavy with blooms, leaves, and tendrils. We’ve made Trumpet Vine Visitor quite versatile, as you’ll find versions of the trumpet vine with and without a hummingbird, plus the hummingbird all by itself. A second leaf cluster is included in case you want to add more greenery. Rounding out this pretty set is a sunny sentiment for saying hello. Each image comes in black and light grey.



Trumpet Vine Visitor is exceptionally fun to color — I’ve put in lots of detail to help you know where to put your shadows and highlights. Drawing the veins on the petals and leaves is easy to follow, take a peek:


You’ll definitely want to see the cards and in one case — a cool shadow box!! — made by our wonderful designers. Today we are featuring the work of several of our Instant Gardeners! In the future, you may notice a few new names on our list of places to visit for inspiration... whether on the internet or on Instagram. 



What a bunch of beauty right there, I tell you!! Thank you, thank you to Barbara, Broni, Nancy, and Rhea for putting their hearts into such gorgeous work featuring our new digi. Be sure to visit us on the 15th of September for our Instant Garden introduction, you aren’t going to want to miss it!
