Catherine Pooler Designs:: In the Kitchen:: Lava Lamp

  

The In the Kitchen Release is available at Catherine Pooler Designs now! This release is full of funky, retro images, textures, patterns and colors that will make your crafty heart swoon! I think this Lava Lamp Cover Plate Die is the coolest, and so versatile.

I turned the design from the Lava Lamp Cover Plate Die to resemble radishes, as I had veggies in mind because of the awesome The Veggies, Please Bundle. I started with my standard white card base made from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock. On another sheet of Cardstock I die cut the the Lava Lamp Cover Plate Die and inked the pattern in Rouge Ink. This gave me rows and rows of stacked radishes!

I stamped a sentiment from Magnetic Messages with Midnight Ink and adhered it to the card with dimensional adhesive. I love the coverage that Catherine Pooler Inks provide with detailed, somewhat solid stamps like these messages. I finished the card by stamping a few "stems" for the "radishes" in Garden Party Ink with a stamp and die from Veggies, Please.  card base, with one highlighted by foam adhesive on the back. So super simple, but I love it!

You'll for sure want to check out this entire In the Kitchen Release as there are many new staple items and of course, lots of fun stamps and dies, too!

Please be sure to check back this week as I will have even more projects to show!

Catherine Pooler Designs:: In the Kitchen Release

  

The In the Kitchen Release is available at Catherine Pooler Designs now! This release is full of funky, retro images, textures, patterns and colors that will make your crafty heart swoon!

Today I am featuring a super simple card with items from the The Veggies, Please Bundle. I started with my standard white card base made from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock. Onto it, I stamped the Rocks-Ann Background Stamp in All that Jazz Ink. I stamped some of the cool sentiments from Magnetic Messages Stamp Set in Melon Ice, Mardi Gras, Garden Party and Lime Rickey Inks. This sentiment stamp set has so many versatile sentiments in a cool font, I absolutely love it! If you want multiple sentiments on one set and want to play with color combinations, this set is perfect for you!

I adhered the messages on top of the card base, with one highlighted by foam adhesive on the back. So super simple, but I love it!

Veggies, Please!

 I'm excited to show you this card I made using items from the The Veggies, Please Bundle and Kitchen Staples Bundle from the In the Kitchen Release coming soon from Catherine Pooler Designs! 

The Kitchen Staples Bundle includes many must-have essentials, such as the Stitched Squares Dies and Potluck Party Patterned Paper that I've used in my card to create the perfect mats and focal areas. The Veggies, Please Bundle is a delightful mix of funky and 1970s inspired images and patterns. I've used a few of the veggies on my card from the Veggies, Please Stamp and Die Set, as well as the cool Magnetic Messages Stamp Set for my sentiment.

I used ink colors that were in the Potluck Party Patterned Paper (isn't it great that the colors match the current inks??!)...Rouge, Mandarin Spice and Sauna.

Catherine has a fantastic You Tube Video here showcasing the Veggies, Please Bundle from the upcoming In the Kitchen Release. I always enjoy watching her videos, such great energy and so many tips and tricks!

The In the Kitchen Release will be available in the Catherine Pooler store on Wednesday, January 29th. StampNation members get to shop early on Tuesday, January 28th at Noon EST.  (affiliate links used at no cost to you, thank you for your support!

Focal Floral Thanks

I was browsing through my facebook feed one day and stumbled upon a post for wallpaper. It instantly inspired me to pull out the same colors and stamps similar to the florals used. Where do you find inspiration?

I started with a white card base made from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, and then a panel as well, trimmed 1/4" smaller to form a focal panel. I then used Suede Shoes, Mint to Be, Mardi Gras, All that Jazz, Aquatini and Eucalyptus inks and a Club Sursee stamp set called Hello Friend Floral to create the background. (Sign up for Club Sursee and you can purchase amazing sets included in past Sursee sets!)

I finished the card with a focal sentiment made from the Thanks Die. Love that I can create my own cardstock by die cutting the word with white cardstock and inking completely over. It was fun to try out a new-to-me color combination, and I can see this being done in different floral stamps too. (affiliate links used)

Sparkle And Shine

I have a quick card share today. My manager took a job outside of my place of employment, and as the resident card-maker, I was asked to create a card for all of our team to sign. I only had a night to make it, so this was quick and easy!

I started with a white card base, topped with some purple glitter paper and the amazing Retro Star Cover Plate from Catherine Pooler Designs. I then topped that with an embossed sentiment from Be Wild Stamp Set that was cut with the Fitted Frames Dies.

I have a whole pack of this glitter paper in a rainbow of colors, I'm going to try this out with the other Cover Plate Dies available at Catherine Pooler. (affiliate links used)
