Noel


Hi everyone!  I'm back today sharing another Christmas card using the gorgeous Peace, Love & Doves Background Stamp.  

I silver heat embossed the background and then used Catherine's inks and a Zig blender pen to color in the images.  It's hard to capture the sparkle on the dove's, but I colored those in using my Spectrum Noir glitter pen.  I will have a short video clip on Instagram showing off the sparkle.


You can see it a tiny bit in this close-up, but it definitely shows up better in the little video.  I trimmed off the bottom at an angle and added it to a black card base that I white heat embossed the sentiment onto.  A quick, easy, beautiful card to add to my growing Christmas card stash.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

All the Trimmings Release Available Now!!!


Hi everyone!  The All the Trimmings Release is available now!  You can see all of the new products HERE!

I have another card to share with you all using the Snow Globes dies and the Woodgrain Background Stamp.


I blended Fiesta Blue and Flirty Fucshia onto the small circle from the globe dies.  I created some hills using the die from the Winterhaven Stamp of Approval Collection.  I die cut the deer and tree from black card stock to look like silhouettes.


I white heat embossed the Woodgrain background stamp onto my card base for some texture.  Added the sentiment to the base of the snowglobe and twine to finish off my card.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

    First one using Suede Shoes ink.


    Second using Samba ink.


    And last, but certainly not least, Mardi Gras!

    I created all of these cards the same way.  I white heat embossed the background onto piece of card stock and then masked off the sides using post it tape.  I then sponged the colors onto the open space creating a colored rectangle when removing the tape.  I then used the Noel die cut from the Snow Globe dies and the label from the Santa Approved die set for my sentiment and added some accents using two stamps from the Holiday Charm stamp set and the Funky Flakes Fri-Dies from the previously released Holiday Magic Collection.

    My next card features the Peace Love and Doves Background Stamp.


    I heat embossed the background stamp onto white card stock using Metallic Gold Sparkle embossing glitter.  I added some black accents by filling in some dots using my black pen.  I then white heat embossed the sentiment from Seasonal Sentiments and Borders stamp set on black card stock.  I attached the sentiment to my card using dimensional adhesive.

    Peace on Earth!!


    Hi friends!  I am sharing another clean & simple card using the goodies in the Home for the Holidays Stamp of Approval Collection.  Have you started on your Christmas cards yet?  I have, but still have a lot more to make.


    I love this tree stamp from the Cozy Borders stamp set.  It looks great using green inks in an ombre order.  I started with Garden Party, Lime Rickey and then finally Grass Skirt.

    Have you been watching Catherine's You Tube channel this week?  If you have you have seen that she is releasing 3 more ink colors!!!  Can I get a WOOT????!!!!  You need to go check out these amazing new colors and take a guess at the names for your chance to win the inks.  

    Follow me on Instagram (@kreative_kristie) on Sunday, Oct. 14th for an Instahop showcasing the new release including the inks.

    HAPPY WORLD CARD MAKING DAY!!!

    Hi everyone!  Happy WCMD 2018!  Are you creating today?  I am hoping to get some time to create something.

    I have another card to share with you all using some goodies from the Home for the Holidays Stamp of Approval Collection.


    I used the Christmas Cookies and Cozy Borders stamp sets.  This would be a pretty easy card to mass produce and use all the cookies that come in the set. 

    I also wanted to share a sneak peek of one of my cards for the challenges that are going on over on StampNation.  We are celebrating WCMD all weekend long over there.  There are prizes to be given away and tons of fun inspiration from the challenges.


    Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

    AMBER'S WORLD BY CATHERINE POOLER DESIGNS



    Happy October everyone!  We are counting down the days until World Card Making Day (WCMD) 
    this weekend!  We celebrate all weekend long over on StampNation!  

    If you've been thinking about joining StampNation, but haven't taken the plunge yet, Catherine is offering a $1 trial for 5 days so you can test it out!  Check out Catherine's blog for all the details.

    To celebrate, Catherine released a new stamp set and coordinating dies called Amber's World.  There is a special story behind this beautifully illustrated stamp set.  I encourage you to visit Catherine's blog to learn more about the artist, Amber Shaw who created it.


    To create my card, I stamped the globe image onto watercolor card stock and colored using Zig Clean Color Brush Markers to color in the flowers.  


    I left the rest of my card pretty simple to keep the focus on the beautiful globe.  I added a strip of black card stock to the bottom of my card base to ground my globe.  Stamped the sentiment and added some black and white twine to finish off my card.

    Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
