Stamp of Approval Counting Blessings Collection Release Day

Hurrah! Today is the official release day of Stamp of Approval Counting Blessings Collection and the collection will be available for purchase 6pm Eastern to the public if you didn't sign up for the Wait List. So hurry and place your orders, I think it may even sell out before then ;)

This is such a simple card and it took me less than 20 minutes to make it. I started by stamping the leaves from Leaf Motifs in It's a Girl, Mint to be and Bellini Inks in random way. 

Then I stamped the sentiment from Good Things in Midnight Ink and finished the card by embellishing it with a few golden sequins. Thanks for visiting :)

Rainbow | Spring Fling Bundle

Here is another rainbow card made using the brand new products from Catherine Pooler Designs. Making this card was pretty simple. I ink blended the top portion of the background with It's a Boy ink, added splatters of water for some texture. Next I die-cut the circle dies to form a rainbow and colored them with Pixie Dust, It's a Boy, Garden Party, Melon Ice, Bellini and It's a girl inks.

Next I die-cut the word Happy word from Spot on Sentiment Dies Bundle and adhered it onto the rainbow. Beneath that I stamped Mother's Day from Simply Stated stamp set in Midnight ink. 

Thanks for visiting :)

Melon Ice | Spring Fling Bundle

Hello! I hope you are enjoying our Dream Team Members projects made using the brand new products from Catherine Pooler Designs. Blog hop is still going on, kindly hop and comment on all destinations for a chance to win the awesome collection. :)

You can check my previous posts HERE and HERE.

For this card I used Melon Ice ink, Dotted Circle Dies, Yay Stripes and Lovely Flowers stamp set. I just reversed the stamp, inked up the solid portion and stamped onto the card base.

I die-cut the dotted circle out of white card stock, stamped the foliage from Lovely Flowers in Versamark ink and heat embossed it with Gold Embossing powder and foam mounted the circle onto the card base. I left the card without a sentiment and I think it looks good without one. Finally finished off the card with a few gold sequins. :)

The new release is available now (click HERE to shop). Thanks for visiting! :)

I've already created a few cards with The Spring Fling Collection, you can check my previous posts HERE and HERE.

CARD #1

So I am here today with three cards for you. The first card features the new inks - Pixie Dust, It's a Boy, Melon Ice, Bellini, It's a Girl and Mint to be. And this card also features the brand new dies and stamp set - Circle Dies and Simply Stated Stamp Set.

I ran the Circle dies through the Big Shot Express Machine and colored them with the colors mentioned above. Next I die-cut the circle out of white card stock and colored the inside portion of the main card base with Mint to be Ink and adhered the rainbow as shown above.

Finally stamped the sentiment on a strip of white card stock from Simply Stated stamp set with Midnight ink. As my filler stamp I used a bird (stamped him twice with Midnight ink to achieve that grey color) from Wonderful Wreath - SOA Lovely Notes Collection. And that finishes my first card! 

CARD #2

For my second card, I took a white card stock slightly smaller than the main card base and stamped the pretty flowers and leaves from Lovely Flowers - SOA Lovely Notes Collection in It's a Girl, Mint to be, Melon Ice and Sweet Sixteen.

Next I placed 'congrats' from Spot On Dies and ran it through the Big Shot Express Machine. I die-cut congrats twice and adhere all three together to form a chipboard like embellishment. Next I adhered it on to card stock, you can actually see the how the word just pops out of the card stock. Finally I adhered the sequins here and there to finish my card design.

CARD #3

Here is my third card and this card features New Inks - It's a Girl and Melon Ice, New Dies - Circle Dies and New stamp set - Simply Stated.

I die-cut the circles out of white card stock, cut it into half, water colored them with It's a Girl and Melon Ice inks and turned them into beautiful watermelons. Yes you can absolutely water color the images with Catherine Pooler Inks. I drew a few seeds with a black permanent marker.

I adhered all the melons randomly on an A2 top folding card. I stamped the sentiment from Simply Stated stamp set on a piece of Vellum card stock with Midnight Ink and adhered it onto the card base. Lastly I finished the card off with a few clear sequins. 

I hope you like my cards and I hope you got inspired. :)

Here is the flip through catalog of The Spring Fling Bundle Collection. Enjoy! :)

Happy Mother's Day | Catherine Pooler Inks

Yesterday, I've shared a few cards made using Catherine Pooler - Spring Fling Bundle Collection. You can check my post HERE. Today I am here with a lovely Mother's Day card made using brand new Circle Dies, Spot on dies, Simply Stated stamp set, Bellini, It's a boy and Midnight inks. I have used Peppermint Background stamp from the previous SOA - Candy Cane Lane Collection as my filler stamp.

CARD DETAILS

I took a white card stock and stamped the background with Peppermint Background and Bellini ink. Next I die-cut the the circles and converted it into a beautiful flower :)

Colored the flower with Bellini ink and the petals with It's a boy ink. Also die-cut 'Happy' out of white card stock and colored it with It's a Boy ink.

Finally adhered everything together, stamped the sentiment with Midnight Ink and added sequins here and there! Be sure visit the blog tomorrow for a special event. 

All these products will be available in the store on April 20th. For more details visit catherinepooler.com.

Thank you :)

Catherine Pooler's New Inks

Hello everyone! Today I am here showcasing the new inks from Catherine Pooler Designs and this collection is called Spring Fling Bundle. In November Catherine Pooler introduced Five colors and they all came in the Foundations Box.

 In January, CP introduced the next Eight colors and she named the collection as Party Collection and soon will be named as Life of Party (You can buy them as bundle or you can buy them separately). This Party Collection has got some really vibrant and Yummy Colors. I think CP inks are the best in the world. They are so vibrant and crisp and perfect for any type of technique. You can stamp, water color, ink blend and what not you can try any technique you want :)

You can check my Foundations Box and Catherine Pooler's Ink Party Collection.

Now she is coming with another Eight new colors and I know you'll love them for sure! These inks are lighter value, but still saturated, pure colors making color coordination a snap! And she named this collection as Spring Fling Bundle. :)

All week CP will be sharing a new photo on Facebook along with a written clue. Leave your guess as to what the color is and tune in the next morning for a Facebook Live where she’ll reveal the new color to you! Till now she has revealed Bellini, Garden Party, Sweet Sixteen, It's a girl, Pixie Dust and It's a boy. And in the next coming days she will be revealing last Two colors so just keep an eye on her Facebook Page! ;)

So today, I am here with three simple cards with the same design but used different colors. For the first card I used _____ ? (participate in Guess Game) For the second one I used Bellini which is a nice Peachy tone. 

I stamped the lovely flower and sentiment from Simply Stated Stamp set with Versamark Ink and heat embossed it with Gold Embossing Powder. I ink blended the background with Bellini Ink and added splatters of water for some texture. 

I did the same on this card also. I used Sweet Sixteen Ink for the background and used Silver embossing powder.

I hope you're loving these colors and I will be up tomorrow with another post. For more details please visit catherinepooler.com 

Along with the inks she also introduced a few beautiful products. Do check HERE. All these products will be available in the store on April 20th.

Thank you! :)
