Wanna Hug

I’ve got a couple of cards to share with you today using some goodies from the latest Catherine Pooler release!!! Everything I used in the cards are linked at the end of the post just for you.

First up… Succulents….. Well, that’s the stamp set theme but I altered my stamp and turned the succulent cups into COFFEE MUGS! I mean… can you even……

Took a Black Le Pen, drew in some handles and accented parts of the design on the cup and voila!

 

Next up, a fun background paired with florals… I took some tape and masked off the white cardstock before stamping the background stamp! I did that so I could fit a sentiment in the gap!

Masking is a great way to extend those background stamps you might have laying around.

 

So whatcha think? You diggin’ this release?? Let me know in the comments!

Happy Christmas

Do you have any patterned paper in your stash? If so, you can pull together cards very easily!  The Feeling Chilly paper pad from Catherine Pooler is compiled of super fun designs. And of course, they coordinate with the new inks!  The cute critters from the Happy Buddies stamp set and coordinating die set  were fun to watercolor!

What do you think? Do you like that Catherine Pooler has finally released critters?

Save Money: 9 Christmas cards with just 1 stamp set

Want to make handmade Christmas cards but don’t want to break the bank by buying up a lot of product? Don’t worry! I’ve got you covered! Today’s video tutorial features 9 different cards with just 1 stamp set!

I even used the same ink colors throughout all the cards and minimized the other product (just 3 embossing powders, embossing ink and a glitter pen)….. So hopefully, this video will give you some inspiration for your holiday cards! Or just ideas on how to stretch out a stamp set you might already have in your stash!!!! Here is a close up look of all the cards I made in the video:

 

One of these cards took about 20 seconds to make. Any guesses which one????

Snowman FUN

I’m ready for some snow! So the Catherine Pooler Retro Winter release came at the perfect time since its not snowing where I live, yet. It was a no brainer that I was going to grab the Build A Snowman stamp set and dies.  NO NO NO! Do not start singing that song!!!!!

I also used all FOUR brand new inks colors! I have the entire ink collection and refills! It’s the GO TO MUST HAVE GOTTA HAVE IT STOP WAITING AND GET IT inks.  My first card features a solo snowman with some snow toys!

My next card features the entire family! The only additional thing added to this card aside from the Build A Snowman bundle is the Winter Words die.

Ha, what an amazing family eeh? Very fashionista I might add!

The release is finally available so if this style suits your fancy, run on over to the shop quick by clicking here. You can also see the other bundles and products that released that I didn’t use in today’s cards…..
