I'm excited to participate in the #spreadjoynotgerms- spreading a whole lot of joy to those that are doing their part, staying home and NOT spreading germs! If you are following the hop, you should have arrived from Jeanette Comerford's blog! If you get lost, the complete list order can be found on Catherine Pooler Design's blog or the Hedgehog Hollow's blog.
I created this cheeky lil' number to send to a friend who loves to garden. We've both been talking about getting outside to work on our gardens as soon as the weather warms up a bit more. I'm featuring Catherine Pooler supplies on my card today. I started with a card base made from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, inking it up in Aquatini Ink with the Split Chevron Stencil. I then created a focal panel with the Spiral Notebook Border Die in White Cardstock blocked with black cardstock.
Then the bunch of carrots were created with the whimsical Veggies Please Stamp Set stamped in Orange Peel and Lime Rickey Inks. To add some character (and joy!) I stamped a smile from the Build a Snowman Stamp Set. I finished with a sentiment from Veggies Please stamped in Midnight Ink and a few staples to adhere the panel to the card base.
I am giving away a $20 gift certificate, compliments of the fantastic owner, at the Catherine Pooler Designs Shop!

ReplyDeleteYour card is adorable. I love the spiral notebook paper look. I have sent a card during this time, but unfortunately it was a sympathy card. A relatives aunt (96) passed away, luckily NOT from covid-19. It broke my heart that they are having to wait until this mess is over to have a gathering for her. But we will ALL get through this and come out stronger. Thanks and stay safe.

I've been eating Kale and some leaf lettuce and my tomatoes are starting to come in... we start our gardens here in the southwest part of AZ in February-March because by June, it starts getting too hot!

ReplyDeleteADORABLE! So bright and cheerful. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteGood share. I like the use of the layers.
ReplyDeleteI have to confess I didn't send happy mail yet... I am so busy with other craft projects used to tidy up my home (or to dress myself).
ReplyDeleteCute! Love this. Thanks for sharing! XO :)
ReplyDeleteLove seeing cards that use fruit and vegetables in them. You have inspired me to make a few vegetable bunch thank yous. Such a great idea!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun card! Love the bright colors! I currently send a handmade card every week to two of our parishioner that are shut-in and make cards for SendASmile4Kids as much as possible. Otherwise I make handmade cards for all my families birthdays and occasions!

ReplyDeleteSuch a cute card. Love your color scheme.
ReplyDeleteI had not heard of Catherine Pooler until recently. I have bought four stamp pads and am finding them to be excellent. I have made and sent TONS of cards during this pandemic. I sent 20+ cards to nurses in one day! I have also been sending "Corona Kits" to the grandkids of friends of mine which include a coloring sheet, sticker sheets, fruit leather, and a box of snack cereal. Of course, I handmade cards to go along with each kit. Thanks for your inspiration!
ReplyDeleteFUN & FABULOUS card!
ReplyDeleteSuch a CHEERY design that brings a SMILE :)
I've been making lots of cards and sending lots of paper HUGS with folds in the middle, can't wait for the time when we can visit everyone and hug in person again!
Thank You for sharing and INSPIRING!
What a bright and cheerful card Karen. Love the teal/aqua background! Thank you for the inspiration! Stay safe! God bless!

ReplyDeleteOMG!! Those carrots are too cute. I have not had time to craft. I'm actually going to work everyday. We are considered an essential manufacturing company. But, I've got to get those creative juices going as I need some Mother's day cards. Thank you for sharing and inspiring me today
