How to Elevate a Watercolored Background feat. Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shots

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. The Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shot Stampset (included in the Boo Box) is adorable for Halloween but also can be used to create Fall cards. For this card I took a simple watercolor background and elevated it by adding stamped images.

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 an A2 card base, a piece of watercolor paper to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 (this panel will be die cut later).

I used Color Burst Powder Brights 6 Pack to color the background and add splatters. Once dried I stamped images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Autumn Blessings Stampset (discontinued) with CP Sauna Ink. Then cut some strips of pattern paper from the CP Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Patterned Paper. I die cut the panel using the CP Dots & Scallops Dies.

I stamped the owl mug from the Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shots Stampset (included in the Boo Box) onto some Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Ink. I used Copic markers to color some of the image. I used C1, C3, C5, & C7 and Y17 & Y06.

Lastly, I stamped the sentiment from Catherine Pooler Designs Boo Day Stampset (included in the Boo Box) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP S’mores Ink, fussycut it and adhered it to the card panel.

On the inside of the card, I cut two pieces of CP Sunflower Fields Forever 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 1 x 4-1/4″ and 1-1/4 x 4-1/4″ and stamped a sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Designs Autumn Blessings Stampset (discontinued) with CP Sauna and CP S’mores Inks.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. Here’s a fun way to stretch your stamps to create a background — use those tiny images included in your stampsets! This card features the Catherine Pooler Designs Fright Night and Halloween Mug Shots Stampsets which came in the Boo Box released last month. I love how this card turned out!

For this card, I cut a piece of Lawn Fawn Black Licorice 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock to to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″ to create an A2 card base, and a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″.

For the background, I stamped the most of the tiny images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Fright Night and Halloween Mug Shots Stampsets (both included in the Boo Box) using CP Midnight, Orange Twist, Catching Rays, Melon Ice, Martini, Black Jack, Royal Treatment and Pixie Dust inks.

I stamped the images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Halloween Mug Shots Stampset onto Strathmore 300 Series Smooth Bristol Paper with Catherine Pooler Midnight Ink and colored it with a blender pen and more inks. I used Melon Ice, Martini and Black Jack for the mug, Pixie Dust and Catching Rays for the inside of the mug and tiny circles and stars on the mug, and Pebble, Black Jack, Catching Rays and Spice inks for foam and broom.

I die cut two tags from the CP Haunted Tags & Charms die set (included in the Boo Box) from Catherine Pooler Designs Eerie-sistible 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Boo Box) and Lawn Fawn Black Licorice 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock and added some Doodlebug Beetle Black Doodle Twine. The bats, spider and the spiderweb are from the same tag die set. I cut the bats from both white and black cardstock and used Pixie Dust Ink to color them.

I stamped the sentiment from Catherine Pooler Designs Fright Night Stampset (included in the Boo Box) with CP Midnight Ink and fussycut it.

On the inside of the card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″ as well as a piece of Catherine Pooler Designs Eerie-sistible 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Boo Box) cut to 1 x 5-1/4″.

I also cut another piece of pattern paper to 1 x 8″ for the front panel.

I stamped the images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Fright Night and Halloween Mug Shots Stampsets (included in the Boo Box) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I used Copic Markers to color the images.
