Catherine Pooler Designs:: On My Window Sill

Did you catch the live on Catherine Pooler's You Tube this afternoon showcasing new items that hit the Catherine Pooler Designs store just in time for World Card Making Day?! I'm so excited to share a card I created with a new set, On My Window Sill. I'll have a live tutorial on creating with Nuvo Crackle Mousse and this stamp set for the WCMD Live Retreat, especially for StampNation Members starting this Friday.

As usual, my card base started with Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, I scored lines to mimic some shiplap type siding on a house. Then, I stamped the window with Sand Castle Ink from On My Window Sill and die cut with the coordinating dies.  Onto the window sill, I added a layer of Nuvo Crackle Mousse and set it aside to dry. I then stamped the cat in Twilight, the curtains in Shea Butter and also die cut them with coordinating dies. Then, with a previously released stamp and die set called Boxes of Blooms Stamps and Dies.

I created a flower box by stamping Mandarin Spice and Nuvo Crackle Mousse. The flowers were stamped in Pink Champagne and the leaves in Sage. I assembled the card as if you were looking at the house into the window, with the cat sitting patiently watching all the goings on. The card was finished with a stamped sentiment from the versatile One Liners Stamp Set.

I can't wait to feature some techniques with On My Window Sill and Nuvo Crackle Mousse this Saturday!

A Jolly Holiday Decoration

I created this cheery holiday decor with a single stamp and die from the latest release from Catherine Pooler Designs- the Jolly Holiday Collection.

This plaque was super easy to create! I started with a 6x6 piece of Ultra Smooth White Cardstock that I adhered to a wooden plaque. Then I die cut and stamped eight of the purley fun and whimsical trees in rainbow fashion from the Jolly Trees Stamp Set using the coordinating Jolly Trees Dies. I used the following inks: Be Mine, Cranberry Fizz, Orange Twist, Limencello, Lime Rickey, Deck the Halls, Suede Shoes and Grape Crush. I arranged the trees in a wreath and adhered them to the plaque. I finished the project with a multi-layer die cut sentiment Merry Christmas Word Die with black cardstock.

The  Jolly Holiday Collection is so much fun to work with! Did you know that Catherine Pooler Designs has an awesome essential tools collection, new items and restocks are usually added every Wednesday...check out the whole collection of new items here!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps & Catherine Pooler Designs Blog Hop

Welcome to the Catherine Pooler Designs and CAS-ual Fridays Blog Hop! We are featuring the fun stamps from CAS-ual Fridays and the amazing Carnivale Collection of Inks from Catherine Pooler Designs. If you are following along on the hop, you should have arrived from the talented Lisa!

My first card features the Happy Birthday Stamp Set and coordinating die cut from CAS-ual Fridays. I started with a card base made from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock. I then covered strips of paper with the Carnivale Inks, using the direct to paper technique to create custom colored cardstock. I  adhered these at an angle on the card front, then die cut "happy birthday" from the the front as well.

I opened the flap and stamped the coordinating sentiment from the Happy Birthday Stamp Set in Midnight Ink on the inside of the card for a peek-a-boo card.

My second card features the same items, along with CAS-Fridays Jacks Stencil. 

I dry embossed the stencil onto the card front of a card made from Ultra Smooth White Cardstock. I then die cut the word Birthday from the Happy Birthday Fri-Die. I covered the die cut with All That Jazz ink, adhering to the card front at an angle. I stamped the word "happy" in Midnight Ink using a stamp from Catherine Pooler Designs Happy Birthday Many Ways Stamp Set. I added a coordinating sentiment strip with a sentiment from the Happy Birthday Stamp Set onto a sentiment strip covered in Limoncello Ink.  

The fun, vibrant colors of the Carnivale Collection of Inks from Catherine Pooler Designs paired with the fabulous products from CAS-ual Fridays is really a perfect pairing!
