Big Butterfly Thanks

I spent some time yesterday working in my flower beds, the other hobby I have! I will soon enjoy (I hope!) the gift of watching butterflies fly about enjoying the flowers too. I have another card made with the Flutters and Blooms Release that is available from Catherine Pooler Designs. I just adore this large butterfly that is part of the Flutters Bundle- and how cool is it that you can use just the Wings of Joy Dies on their own?!

To create this card, adhered strips from the Flutters & Blooms Patterned Paper onto a scrap piece of paper and used the large butterfly die cut from Wings of Joy Dies to die cut the large focal point butterfly. I then created a frame from the previously released Chalkboard Frame Dies from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock (love the subtle woodgrain texture...this die set is so versatile!) and covered it with Stone Blue Ink.

To finish the card, I stamped the word "big" from the Big Thanks Stamp Set in  Stone Blue Ink and then added a stacked die cut "thanks" from the new Happy Thanks Die Set. This die set has to be one of my favorites from the Flutters and Blooms Release because 1. you get two main sentiments in one die and 2. the dies are the perfect size and 3. you can mix and match the die words to match so many sentiment stamp sets!

So Happy Flutters & Blooms

Nothing says spring and summer like some bees buzzing around! The Flutters and Blooms Release from Catherine Pooler Designs has this really cool background stamp, Beehive Background Stamp that provides the perfect backdrop for cards.

This card started with a base of Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, then I stamped the Beehive Background Stamp and white heat embossed it, adding color with an ink blended background of Sauna, Tiara and Orange Twist Inks.

Then to add a bit of detail, I selectively colored some of the images in with a black pen. I finished the card with a stacked sentiment made from the Happy Thanks Words Dies-which will quite possibly be my most used word dies coming up in the near future, they are the perfect size!

The Flutters and Blooms Release is available now, I hope you've had a chance to check it out. Look at some of the pretty items!

A Flutters & Blooms Shaker

Today is the day that the Flutters and Blooms Release is available from Catherine Pooler Designs!  As I mentioned yesterday, the collection does have an array of flutters and blooms, but true to the Catherine Pooler Designs style, she has also included some everyday, essential stamp sets into the collection as well, like this Big Thanks Stamp Set that I cannot stop using, and as always a lovely paper pack too. The Big Thanks Stamp Set and Flutters & Blooms Patterned Paper are just two items that are part of the Flutter Bundle.

Today I went outside my comfort zone and decided to showcase one pattern from the lovely Flutters & Blooms Patterned Paper. I started with a base of Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, of course. I then cut a piece of the Patterned Paper slightly smaller than the card front and used the Wings of Joy Dies to die cut an arrangement of blooms. I heat embossed both the big Thanks from the Big Thanks Stamp Set in white. Then, carefully, stamped and heat embossed the word "you" from the same stamp set over the top of the Thanks, and colored it in with a Copic Marker that perfectly matches Sangria Ink. I lifted this card panel with foam adhesive, backed the blooms with some acetate sheets and added some sequins from the Mission Sequin Mix.

The Flutters and Blooms Release is available now, April 29th! Look at some of the pretty items!

A Beehive Thank You

Tomorrow the Flutters and Blooms Release is available from Catherine Pooler Designs, it has already been released to StampNation members. The collection does have an array of flutters and blooms, but true to the Catherine Pooler Designs style, she has also included some everyday, essential stamp sets into the collection as well, like this Big Thanks Stamp Set and the Beehive Background Stamp. These two are part of the Flutter Bundle.

This card came together pretty quickly. I started with a base of Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, stamping the Beehive Background Stamp in Sauna Ink, and then I ink blended the edges and corners. I stamped the big Thanks from Big Thanks Stamp Set in Icing on the Cake ink, die cut the "you" from the previously released You Die. I added additional interest to the sentiment by heat embossing it in Turkish Nights Embossing Powder from Wow.

 

The Flutters and Blooms Release is releasing tomorrow, April 29th!
