Are you ready for Catherine Pooler Designs newest release, the 2018 Winter Release?There are three collections offered, and they feature stamps, coordinating dies, patterned paper and some sequins. Wow!

My first card features products from the Cake & Confetti Collection. I started with Ultra Smooth White Cardstock and created a patterned paper border with Cake & Confetti Patterned Paper. I choose three patterns from the Cake & Confetti Patterned Paper, rolled a few strips to resemble 3D candles and attached them to a white panel. I stamped and die cut some flames from the Birthday Icons Stamp Set and coordinating Birthday Icons Dies. I created the sentiment panel with the same stamp set and Midnight Ink and the patterned paper, and that finished off my card. Clean and simple, but I think so much fun and whimsical!

I went a lot more elegant and classy with this next card I'm showcasing, featuring items from the Smitten Collection. I started with an  Ultra Smooth White Cardstock panel where I drew some diamond shapes and then stamped in one of the lovely patterns from the Say It With Love Stamp Set in Polished Ink. I then used a straight edge to ink shaded areas of the diamonds with Polished Ink. I did add a sentiment, also from Say It With Love Stamp Set in one of the diamonds, stamped in Midnight Ink.

I added some details with sequins from the Inspiration Point Sequins Mix and some Black Nuvo Drops. I finished the card by mounting the main panel to some Midnight Cardstock and then a card base made from the ever so nice Ultra Smooth White Cardstock.

My last project features products from both the Cake & Confetti Collection and Smitten Collection. I started with a watercolor base that has been inked up with a watered down inked version of the fabulous Rose Stencil. I then die cut the Love Connection Dies and used the outer most heart ring and the outmost negative ring to create a border. I inked them up with Skylight and Juniper Mist Inks. I just love the look that the positive and negative pieces of the Love Connection Dies work together!

I then die cut two large numbers from the Milestone Birthday Numbers Die Set from a pattern from the Cake & Confetti Patterned Paper, completed the sentiment by stamping in Peppermint Scrub Ink a sentiment from the Milestone Birthday Sentiment Mix Stamp Set. Then I added some May Arts Twine to finish the card.

In addition to the two collections featured above, there is an amazing collection called Snowy Day that you must check out! Catherine Pooler Designs has also released an Envelope Liner Die, Deep Flap Envelopes in Ultra White and Soft White.
