Holiday Tags and Ornaments featuring the Catherine Pooler Designs Candy Cane Christmas

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Need some quick cute holiday tags or tree ornaments?!? The Catherine Pooler Designs Candy Cane Christmas Dies is a great die set to create those! Let’s see how easy it was to make these.

I die cut a bunch of the candy cane backer pieces from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Catherine Pooler Designs Candy Cane Christmas Dies. Then cut candy canes and bows from Altenew Glitter Gradient Cardstock Set, Tim Holtz Idea-Ology 8 x 8 Metallic Gold & Silver Kraft Stock Cardstock, Tim Holtz idea-ology 8 x 8 Metallic Jewels Kraft Stock, Stampin’ Up! Sweet Sugarplum 6 x 6 Glimmer Cardstock (retired), Stampin’ Up! Real Red 12 x 12 Glimmer Cardstock (retired) and DCWV Single-Sided Brights Mat Stack 4.5″ x 6.5″. I inlayed some of the candy cane pieces as well.

After adhering all the candy canes, I punched a 1/8″ hole in each and added some ribbon to each. I used 1/8″ white satin ribbon. You can make single candy cane tags/ornaments or double one! So fun and really east to make a bunch at once.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here is one last card to close out my Fall series! This one is an easy inlay technique — and oldy but goody! lol

For the first card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I also die cut a piece of Neenah 100lb with the Catherine Pooler Woven Cover Plate Die.

I cut another piece Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3-1/2 x 4-3/4″ which I colored with Catherine Pooler Designs Spiced Ink using the direct-to-paper technique. Then die cut another piece using the second largest die (3-1/2 x 4-1/2″) from the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Rectangle Stackables Lawn Cuts Dies.

I die cut a window from the white top panel using the shadow from the Honey Bee Stamps Large Thanks Dies (retired) as well as one from Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper which I then inlay into the window area. I stamped the rest of the sentiment from Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stampset using Catherine Pooler Green Tea Ink.

I die cut 2 pumpkins from some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Catherine Pooler Fall Frames. I colored them using ink. I used Catherine Pooler Sauna and Orange Peel and Green Tea Inks and popped one up with Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I finished off the card by adding some Nuvo Drops in Metallic Bright Gold and Bottle Green.

I stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Thanks Thanks Thanks Stampset with Catherine Pooler Green Tea Ink on the inside of the card and added a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Sunflower Fields Forever Patterned Paper measuring 1 x 5-1/2″ and 1-1/8 x 5-1/2″.

Watercolor Baby Shower Card feat. Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I could not help but make some more baby cards with the Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Hello Baby Die. It’s such a fun die to play with. I combined this one with images from an older stampset I have, the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby Stampset (which ironically has the same name as the die but is now discontinued).

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base. And another piece from the Doodlebug 6 x 6 Kraft in color – color paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2. I die cut a scalloped panel from Stampin’ Up! Balmy Blue 12 x 12 Glimmer Cardstock (retired) using the Catherine Pooler Tags, Etc Die set.

I die cut the sentiment panel from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and Echo Park – Bundle of Joy (Dots & Stripes) 6 x 6 Paper Pack (discontinued) using Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Hello Baby Die.

For the background, I cut a piece of Watercolor Paper to 3-3/4 x 5″. Then used Tim Holtz Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, and Wild Honey Distress Inks.

I stamped images from the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby Stampset (discontinued) onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento TUXEDO BLACK Ink and colored them with Copic Markers. I used YG25, YG17 & YG01 and Y02, Y13, & Y15 for the frog; C1, C3 & C5, R20 for the bunny; BG000 & 0 for the cloud; Y02, Y13, & Y15, R20, YR09 & YR16 for the ducks; YG25 & YG17 for the rattles; and B14, B16 & B12 for the umbrella.

I stamped the rest of the sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Hello Baby Stampset (discontinued) onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento TUXEDO BLACK Ink and trimmed it down to 1/2 x 3″ and cut banner tales on one side.

On the inside of the card I added two strips of pattern paper measuring 1 x 4-1/4″ and 3/4 x 4-1/4″ and a duck.

Hello Baby Shower Cards feat. Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I needed some very quick baby shower cards recently to bring to my cousin’s baby shower and of course my brain could not come up with anything. I saw this card from the Lawn Fawn design team, Kara Pogreba, which was really cute and seemed quick to make so I had to CASE it. I love the elephants from the Lawn Fawn Elephant Parade stampsets! So cute!!! And you can make them any color you want too! I was given specific colors to use.

For blue version of this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base. The pink version used a piece Lawn Fawn Kraft 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock. Then cut a piece of pattern paper from Pebbles 12 x 12 Special Delivery (discontinued) and a piece of Echo Park IT’S A GIRL 6 x 6 Mega Paper Pad to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

I die cut the sentiment panel from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″, Stampin’ Up! Basic Gray 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, Lawn Fawn Kraft 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock, and Echo Park – It’s A Girl Collection 12 x 12 Paper Pack Solids using Lawn Fawn Giant Outlined Hello Baby Die.

I stamped the images from the Lawn Fawn Set Elephant Parade Stamps onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento TUXEDO BLACK Ink and colored with Copic Markers.

I used C00, C3, C5, R20 & R30 for the elephants and mice; and BG000, Y02 & Y15, B32 & B37 (blue card), BG10 & 0, Y00 & Y02, R000 & R20, & G12 & G82 (pink card) for the bottles.

I die cut the banner from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and Lawn Fawn Kraft 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Fancy Wavy Banners Die Cuts. Then stamped a sentiment from the Lawn Fawn Set Elephant Parade Add-On Stampset with Memento TUXEDO BLACK Ink.

I left the inside of the card blank.

Giant Sentiment Happy Birthday Card feat. Lawn Fawn

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Need a birthday card that looks like it took a long time but doesn’t?!? Shhh. I won’t tell if you don’t. Using this giant sentiment die from Lawn Fawn is a really easy way to just that! They have both a portrait and a landscape die. I had to get both! Here’s how this card came together. Stay tuned for more cards using these dies.

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create a card base and a piece of My Favorite Things Tranquil Textures 6 x 6 Cardstock (I think this paper is discontinued) to 4 x 5-1/4″.

I die cut the sentiment panel from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and from Simon Says Stamp 6 x 6 Glitter Cardstock using the Lawn Fawn Landscape Giant Outlined Happy Birthday Die. I popped all the pieces except the outline and the letter centers (A, B, D etc). I inlayed the purple letters die cut from the glitter paper. This die is a little fussy to work with but the results are awesome!!!

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of the same pattern paper to 1 x 5-1/2″ and stamped a sentiment from Catherine Pooler Designs Young at Heart stampset (not avialble-part of the Stamp of Approval Collections she used to produce) with Catherine Pooler Eucalyptus Ink.

Dimensions

  • Card Base = 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″
  • Background Panels = 4 x 5-1/4″ My Favorite Things Tranquil Textures 6 x 6 Cardstock

Stretching Your Dies: How to Make an Embossed Background

kittieslovecrafting

It’s always fun to find new ways to use your dies and this is one of my favorite techniques to stretch my dies. It’s a faux embossing technique; no embossing folder needed.

I started this card by cutting a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5″X11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ and a card base measuring 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″and scored at 4 1/4″. Then diecut several pieces with the Simon Says Stamp Candy Canes Wafer Die and one from Stampin’ Up! Sparkle Glimmer Paper and Real Red Glimmer Paper. This die was included in the Simon Says Stamp December 2018 Card Kit but is available seperately. I diecut the bow using the same die with Stampin’ Up! Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock.

I adhered the white candy cane diecuts randomly around the card, creating a pattern and a faux embossed look. This is a quick way to add dimension to your backgrounds. I made one of the candy canes the focal point by inlaying the red and white glitter paper pieces inside the candy cane outlines. Then added the bow from the same die. Don’t get rid of the leftover glitter diecut candy cane pieces, you can use them on the inside of the card.

I adhered the front panel to the card base and then stamped a sentiment from Merry Messages Stampset by Lawn Fawn onto a piece of Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5″X11″ using Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink. I cut down the sentiment piece to 7/8 x 3-1/8” and then adhered it to a piece of Stampin’ Up! Real Red 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock and cut that down to 1-1/8 x 3-1/4”. I added the sentiment strip to the card using 3M Foam Tape.

On the inside of the card,I stamped another sentiment from the Merry Messages Stampset by Lawn Fawn with Festive Berries Distress Oxide and adhered the leftover red glitter candy cane diecut and Inlayed some of the interior stripe pieces. And that completes this card. Pretty easy and quick to make.
