The All That Jazz Release from Catherine Pooler is AVAILABLE NOW! Stamps, dies, stencil and a new ink color!!!!!!! Welcome to the final day of blog hops! If you’d like to check out the other two days, click HERE. I’ve got a couple of cards and a tag to share with you today!!!!
My first card features the “wonderful” die from this collection. I partially stamped a sentiment from the Good Things Stamp Set (from the Counting Blessing stamp of approval that also released today) and then adhered the wonderful. :). I stamped the sentiment onto an alcohol inked background with Midnight ink and heat embossed in black. I added some of the polka dots from the Doin’ the polka stamp set. Who doesn’t love polka dots???
For my next project, I wanted to focus on the new Square Dance stencil so I decided to make a card and coordinating tag.
I started by inking up the stencil with It’s a Girl and Shea Butter ink and the spritzed it with water and “stamped” with it by pressing the stencil onto a piece of watercolored cardstock. It gave me a beautiful print to work with.
Sentiment courtesy of the Good Things Stamp set. I love the bold sentiments and how fun they are designed. So happy this has finally released.
For my card, I did the same thing that I did above, inking up and stamping with the stencil. One dry, I offset the stencil a bit and applied some whipped spackle thru the stencil. It elevated the stencil to a whole new level.
See how you can still see the design from the “stamped” stencil and then the designed and raised dimension from the whipped spackle? And I just adore that “wonderful” die so I used it again…..

I thought that first card was watercolor, because it was a little more muted than many alcohol ink backgrounds that I’ve seen. I think that’s great to know that one can achieve that look with alcohol inks! And the reinker cards are really nice too. I love the offset spackle one; that’s such a cool look! Thanks so much for sharing these great techniques with us!
Loved, loved, loved all the backgrounds of your cards and tag! Wow! Beautiful!
Your background are stunning and so beautiful!!!
Such a beautiful card.
LOVE the watercolor effect!
Really cool cards! The Square Dance stencil is on my wish list. I love the colors you used.
I could get lost staring at the purple and blue card! It’s beautiful and hypnotic!
I love what you did with the stencil.
I wish you’d stop making these wonderful cards ….NOT!
Your “wonderful” is wonderful. Thank you.
