Are you ready for Catherine Pooler Designs newest release, the Storybook Collection!? There are so many awesome products released this go round, I have a feeling that you will love them all like I do! I was a lucky gal and got to work with the Father's Day Bundle, one of the three bundles released with the Storybook Collection! Also, there are FOUR New Inks available, from the Spa Collection!
I'm starting off with my favorite card made from some of the many products in this release. My card base is the made from the awesome Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, which is the perfect cardstock for bases as well as die cuts, coloring, well, pretty much anything! Over this I stamped in the new Lemongrass Ink the woodgrain stamp and ring available from the Hey, Mister! Stamp Set, an amazing 6x8 size! This is my favorite color from the new release! I added some strips of patterned paper from the Lumberjack Patterned Paper Pack to ground the card. For a focal point, I stamped the deer silhouette from Wild About You in the new Queen for a Day Ink and die cut it out with the corresponding Wild About You Die Set. I finished the card with some staple embellishment and a custom sentiment stamped in Queen for a Day Ink made from the many options in Hey, Mister!
My next card also features the Lumberjack Patterned Paper Pack, along with the new Wild About You Stamp Set, Wild About You Die Set, and Hey, Mister! Stamp Set. I am also featuring the amazing red rubber Buffalo Plaid Background Stamp and the new Sage Ink from the Spa Collection. I started again with a base of Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, stamping the Buffalo Plaid Background Stamp in Sage Ink over the entire card front.

I then added some strips of paper from the many patterns in the Lumberjack Patterned Paper, as well as a pattern from Wild About You Stamp Set. I stamped the howling wolf in Sage Ink from the Wild About You Stamp Set, cut him out in with the coordinating Wild About You Die Set, and the moon from the same set in Lemongrass Ink and the stars with Queen for a Day Ink. I finished with a sentiment from Hey, Mister!
