Serene & Stunning: Unlock Your Creativity with the Blue Poppies kit Blog Post

April 16, 2025

💙 Launch Day! 💙

When I created the Pink Poppies set for yesterday’s release, I just knew I had to follow it up with something just as dreamy—but in beautiful soft blues 💙 Introducing the Pretty Pale Blue Poppies Kit – a smaller, super-versatile collection that I hope you’ll love as much as I do.

This set is just so useable – perfect for everything from:

🎨 Cardmaking

📒 Albums & Junk Journals

🎭 ATCs & Mixed Media

🪵 MDF crafts

🍾 Bottle & Glass Art

📚 Brag Books, Memory Books & Scrapbooking

✂️ And of course, beautiful Collage Work!

🌿 I really wanted this one to have that dreamy, delicate feel—and I think it shines through in every sample we've made. Speaking of samples, you’ll find them all below in today’s blog post. The arch and shaped cards use dies I shared in a previous blog post - you can find all of our blog posts here: https://shop.obyd.co.uk/blog/opulence-by-design-crafty-corner-blog
