Just Because & Thinking of you

Hi friends!

I have two cards to share with you today using some stamps from the Foundations Box by Catherine Pooler.  For both of my cards I used kraft card stock, white pigment ink and then dye inks.  I love the look when stamping first using white pigment ink then stamping slightly off using dye inks.

I used rainbow colors on my first card and then more fall colors on this Thinking of you card.  The stamps and sentiments are in the stamp set called Amazing Floral.

That is all from me for today.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Merry & Bright

Happy Friday everyone!

I am back sharing another Clean & Simple, one layer card using the stamps & inks from the Foundations Box.  The first supply of the box has sold out but, you can still order.  It will just take a bit longer to be shipped out to you.  Totally worth the wait though.  :)

For my card today I stamped the row of circles from the For Everything stamp set using a light gray ink (not included in the box but you could use the black ink and stamp off) to create a background for my tree.  I love that the dots show through the tree ever so subtly.  Great way to add the look of dimension on a one layer card.  I added some black & white twine to finish off my card.  While I had my supplies out I wanted to try this design on Kraft card stock using different colors for the trees and white pigment ink for the circles. 

 I love how these turned out!

You can whip up a bunch of these in no time.

*ETA:  Adding the top card over are Merry Monday: Use gray, red, & white.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Foundations Box is now available!!!

Hi everyone!

Today's the day!

Get your box today!

I wanted to share another one layer card with you today using the supplies in the box. 

 A perfect one layer card for mass producing and easy mailing.

I used the line stamp in the For Everything stamp set to ground my trees.  So simple!

A peek at my one layer card for this week's StampNation challenge using the Foundations Box.

Members can view the challenge HERE.

I cannot wait to see cards popping up all over blog land and Instagram using the Foundation Box goodies.  It is so much FUN to see how everyone else is inspired to use the stamps.

Thank you to everyone who left me such sweet comments on my blog post yesterday! 
 I read each one and they all bring a huge smile to my face!  ♥♥♥

Foundations Box Blog Hop

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the Foundations Box blog hop!  You should have arrived here from Catherine's blog.  If not, make sure you head over there to start from the beginning.

I am super excited to be a part of this blog hop.   I would have loved for this box to have been available 18 years ago when I first started stamping.  It is SO perfect for the beginner stamper, BUT even the experienced stamper will want these stamp sets, inks, block & paper in their stash!

The Foundations Box includes 3 stamp sets, 5 ink pads, a clear block and a pack of CP Designs Cardstock! The box will sell for $67 and includes everything a brand new stamper needs to sit down and make a card right away. No other supplies necessary! The products in this box are also staple products for EVERY stampers’ craft room.

There is also a little somethin' extra special that will be included in this box.  Watch your emails this evening (Catherine's newsletter subscribers will receive an email with a special video about the somethin' somethin').  I can't wait for you all to find out about this, it is so very amazing!

Here is my first card using the Spot On stamp set.

I am so in love with the bold circle images with the sentiment negatives inside.  There are three, one says wishes, Congrats & Happy!  So fun!  Look at the other fun patterned circles that come in the set too!  I love them all, but my fave is the one with the tiny dots that go big to small.  See it?!

My next card uses Amazing Floral and a sentiment from For Everything.

I created a fun one layer Christmas card using one of the leaves from the floral set to create a snowflake!  I love to think outside the box with my stamps to be able to get more use out of them.

My last card is a stepped up card using the For Everything stamp set.

 I love that I could create a Coffee Cup Christmas Tree!!!  So fun, right?!

The box will go on sale tomorrow morning at 9am EST, StampNation members will get the link one hour earlier (one perk of being a member).  When the box sells out, Catherine will continue to accept orders, it will just take several weeks to receive it.  

Leave comments along the hop for your chance to win this box.  One winner will be randomly chosen from all the comments on the hop.  The winner will be announced tomorrow morning at 9am when ordering opens.  You have 24 hours to comment.  Good Luck!
