Hi friends!  The Tropical Treasures release by Catherine & the individual items from the Tropically Yours Stamp of Approval Collection are available now!  Click HERE to start shopping!

Today is the Instagram Hop.  You can start here.

I used one of the 2 new Cover Plates Catherine released.  This one is called Chevron Divide.  I am in LOVE with this cover plate!  It is so awesome! 

I paired it with the One in a Million Mom Floral stamp set, which I am also in LOVE with.  ;)  I colored the flowers with Copics.

This time I paired it with this gorgeous rainbow pineapple from the Pineapples & Smiles stamp set & I left some of the bits in the die. 

See the shine on the pineapple?  After I was done inking I stamped with versamark over the whole image and used clear embossing powder.  I love the shine this gives to the pineapple.  How fun is the sentiment font too?!  LOVE!

HOPE YOUR DAY IS AWESOME!!!

Hi everyone!  Just popping in quickly today to share another card using the Cottage Garden Background stamp, Awesome & Wonderful stamp set and the Blowing Bubbles Border die.

I stamped the background stamp using Twilight ink onto white card stock.  I love the subtle background this creates.  Stamping in the light gray ink helps make the sentiment pop.  I stamped the biggest awesome sentiment using Aquatini ink.  I then stamped the smaller awesome sentiment over top with Midnight ink.

I then trimmed down this piece and added a small strip of silver glitter paper at the bottom.  The blowing bubbles border die looks amazing sticking out the bottom of this card!!!  I added some black and white twine to the top and my card is finished.

I am adding this over at Time Out Challenges where they are celebrating their 5th Birthday!

Also popping this over at Happy Little Stampers Monthly Challenge.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!

Hi friends!  Happy Wednesday!  I am sharing a set of birthday cards today that I created with the Faithful Flutterings stamp set and Black Tie Gala Patterned Paper by Catherine Pooler.

For the butterflies, I die cut the largest butterfly from some pink card stock I had on hand and then stamped and heat embossed the detail image.  For this one I used Rockin' Red Embossing Glitter.  I love how it looks on the pink paper.

Here's a close-up.  Look at the sparkle!!!!

For this butterfly I used Perissa Embossing Powder.  This embossing powder is SO cool.  It has gold and silver and is a bit thicker when embossed.

See how thick it is?!  It was hard to capture the silver bits in the photo, in real life it looks so cool.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD!

Hi friends!  I am sharing a card today using the Cottage Garden Background stamp and the Blowing Bubbles Border die along with sentiment by Catherine.  I love this background image stamped in black and white.  It is gorgeous colored in as well, but I don't color very often and am not great at it.  My creative team members have colored this amazingly.

I stamped the sentiment in ombre colors using my MISTI!  I started with a light purple and then went to a dark purple on the bottom.  I used direct to paper to create the ombre colors on the border die as well.

So fun!  Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
