Catherine Pooler Designs: Create Your Own Sunshine + Slimline Dies Release

 Hi everyone!

Happy Wednesday! And today Catherine Pooler Designs mini release and it's a fun one. It's SLIMLINE DIES and stencils. 

I have a sample to share with you using the Sunburst slimline die. I die cut it from white card stock. I used two of the frames and adhered together. From the pieces in between I used ink pads to ink the white card stock to turn it to colored card stock. 

Next I created my slimline card by cutting piece of white card stock to 8 1/2" x 7" and scored at 3 1/2". Adhered the frame, then the pieces in between. 

Die cut sunshine twice from black card stock, adhere them together and adhere to the card. 

Stamp the sentiment and emboss in white. Adhere to card.

All the supplies are listed on the bottom!

Hero Arts: May your days be Merry and Bright

Hi everyone!

Have you started making Christmas cards yet or you are like me waiting until December to make them and then they never end up in the mail (I am being honest, though last year I did send tons of cards).

So, for those who make Christmas cards early I have an inspiration using the Hero Arts Color Layering Christmas Tree stamp set and Sugar and Spice Bold Prints.

All supplies are listen on the bottom of this post. (Affiliate links used at no cost to you)

Catherine Pooler Designs: Hey Pumpkin

 Hi everyone! 

Post #2 for today! Scroll down for the Spellbinders Club kits blog hop post! 

I am sharing few ideas using the new Hey Pumpkin Set and the new Fall Mix and Match collection from Catherine Pooler Designs! 

The Hey Pumpkin set is currently out of stock, but should be restocked soon.

For my first card I stamped the pumpkins using Hot Tub, Orange Peel and Over coffee, then die cut them. I used the Mix and Match Fall paper to add a strip on the side of my card. And added some Mystic sequins.

For my next card I used the same colors for the pumpkins, but used Icing on the Cake for the stems of the pumpkins and Sage for the leaves. For the background I used the new Narrow Stripe Cover Plate and die cut it from black card stock. Ink blended the card base using Hot Tub and Orange Peel inks! I love the dramatic look the black gives!

Last, but not the least I used the Jack-O-Lanterns set to create my background. I stamped the different faces in different colors!
