HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Hi everyone!  I'm playing along with AAA Cards CAS Game #139 - Sketch without the optional twist.

I die cut a circle and swiped versamark ink over top and then sprinkled the amazing One Hundred and One embossing powder over top.  I then heat from the bottom and watched the magic happen!  I LOVE this embossing powder SO much!  It's awesome!

Look at that detail!!!  So cool!  I used my Zig Clean color brush markers on my sentiment strip and then stamped the Happy Birthday sentiment using Midnight ink.  I layered a black circle behind the embossed circle to help it pop and then added some black and white twine to finish off my card.

Also, here is the second color being released by Catherine Pooler on May 8th!  Lemongrass!  This color is absolutely stunning!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

SENDING SMILES & NEW INK COLORS BY CATHERINE POOLER!!!!

Hi friends!  I'm back today sharing another card using the Hex Marks the Spot stamp set by Catherine Pooler.  I love the fun Hexagons in this set.  I started by stamping the bigger ones in Orange Twist ink and then the smaller ones using Fiesta Blue.  I then filled in with a small circle stamp.

I stamped and white heat embossed the sentiment onto a strip of black card stock and adhered it with foam tape.

Before you go I wanted to share with you that Catherine will be releasing 4 new ink colors next month!  I'm so excited!  The colors are gorgeous, yes, I have them and have been creating with them already!

The first color was revealed yesterday!  WOOHOO!!!

If you've been waiting for the perfect red for the Spa Collection, the wait is over.  Hits the shop on May 8!

Stay tuned on FB for the other three color reveals!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY USING CONFETTI EMBOSSING TRIO BY WOW!

Hi friends!  Have you seen the new Confetti Embossing Trio by WOW yet?!!!  These embossing powders are SO amazing!  They also have amazing names Fizz, Bang, & Pop!

Here is a close-up to see the amazingness!!!  I die cut three circles and used versamark ink to get them sticky and then applied the embossing powder to each circle.  I didn't tap off much of the excess powder like I normally would, because I didn't want to lose all the awesomeness that is the embossing powder.  I did heat from the bottom first and then brought my heat tool to the top to make sure everything was melted.  It is such a cool process watching the powder melt.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

RAINBOWS!!!

Hi everyone!  I am playing along with Retro Rubber Challenge this week.  It is a rainbow theme!  I just couldn't pass on the chance to create yet another rainbow card.

I pulled out my Wild Garden stamp set that was released back in 2017 in Catherine Pooler's Naturally Inspired Stamp of Approval collection.

I stamped each color and then stamped off right beside.  I love that variation this gives.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

SKETCH CHALLENGE

Hi friends!  I am playing along with CAS Colours & Sketches Challenges.  I love me a good sketch and I am in need of some more Christmas cards to add to my stash.   This sketch was a good chance to get another Christmas card done. 

Here is the sketch:

I used Concord & 9th's plaid background stamp to stamp the plaid on my card base.  I then took the lovely Poinsettia stamp from Catherine Pooler's Tis the Season stamp set.  I stamped and embossed using Rockin' Red ink and Embossing Powder.  I love that Catherine's inks stay wet just long enough for you to sprinkle embossing powder on after stamping.  The added sparkle on the Poinsettia is just what this card needed for some pizzaz.

Look at the sparkle I was able to capture in this close-up!!!  So fun!  The sentiment I used is from Catherine's Holiday Mix stamp set.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

THANKS

Hi everyone!  Sharing a fun geometric card today using the Hex Marks the Spot stamp set.  I used my MISTI to stamp the Hexagons to get them straight.  I added a bit of color to the big hexagons using my Zig Blender Pen and coordinating CP inks.  

I stamped a border from the Good Vibes Border stamp set.  I added clear rhinestones to the center of the mini stamped hexagons for a bit of sparkle on this clean and simple card.  The thanks sentiment comes in the Hex Marks the Spot set.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

STAMPNATION WEEKEND COLOR CHALLENGE

Hi friends!  Happy Saturday!  I was inspired again by the weekend color challenge posted on the StampNation FB page.  I am always in need of birthday cards so I went for a simple birthday card using all the colors.  What a fun color combo, right?!

I love the solid images in the Wild Garden stamp set and I love second generation stamping to create another color using the same ink color.

Here is another one using another awesome color combo!

I am not sure which one I like better.  You?!

I will add one of these over at Seize the Birthday.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

HIS LOVE....

Hi friends!  Happy Friday!  I am playing along today with CAS(E) this Sketch!  The minute I saw the sketch I knew I wanted to play along.

It's a fun one!  I die cut a circle out of watercolor card stock and swiped my mini inks by Catherine Pooler onto the die cut and then spritzed with water to get some blending.  I then stamped the sentiment and some wild flower images using Midnight ink.

I stamped the Canvas Grunge Background Stamp onto my card base using Midnight ink and trimmed a piece of white card stock with my angle to adhere over top.

Are you inspired by this sketch?!  I can't wait to see if you play along!

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

BIRTHDAY WISHES

Hi friends!  I have a couple cards to share with you today using the gorgeous floral image in the set One in a Million Mom by Catherine Pooler.  Even though this set has lots of Mother's Day sentiments you can totally use it for birthday, thinking of you or even sympathy cards.  I always need more and more birthday cards and this sentiment is one of my favorites!

I did some partial die cutting and only colored some of the blooms instead of coloring them all in.

Another one in Aqua and changed up the sentiment.

I will add one of these over at Seize the Birthday.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
