Using the Positive and Negative to Make Two Cards feat. Catherine Pooler Designs

Hello friends. When I’m making cards, I like to be as non-wasteful as possible. With these cards, I am using the Positive and Negative die cuts to make two cards. I am using products from the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit Box (from Catherine Pooler Designs) as well as some others. See how easy this was below.

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″. I also cut another to 3-3/4 x 4″ which I stenciled the panel using the Ditsy Holly Stencil (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) and CP Rouge, Cotton Candy, Matcha and Sea Glass Inks.

I die cut a circle (measuring 2-7/16″) from the left side of the panel (save this for another card) as well as two circles (measuring 2-3/8″ and 2-3/4″) from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Stampin’ Up! LAYERING CIRCLES Dies (retired). I colored the scallop circle using the direct-to-paper technique with CP Rouge Ink and stamped a sentiment from the CP Sweet Holiday Sentiments Stampset (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) on the smaller one with Sea Glass Ink.

I stamped the snowflake from the Baking Spirits Bright Stampset using CP Cotton Candy Ink and the detail with Rouge then die cut it with the coodinating dies. I embellished it with Sparkling Sugar Sparkles Glitter by WOW.

I die cut the spatula and rolling pin from the CP Mix & Bake dieset. I used Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ for the spatula and colored it with Matcha Ink. The handle and all the rolling pin was die cut from CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Pattern Paper (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit).

Lastly I finished the card by adding some CP Bavaria Sequin Mix (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit).

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the CP Here We Come A Caroling Stampset (this was part of the Winterhaven Stamp of Approval 2017 release) with CP Rouge Ink and added a mitten and spatula.

For the second 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″. I also cut a piece of CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″, and a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 4 x 5-1/4″. I die cut a piece of white cardstock with the Hobnob Cover Plate Die and used that as a stencil with some CP Matcha Ink to add some interest to the background panel.

Next I cut a strip of CP Bushel and a Peck 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 1 x 4-1/4″ and one from CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Patterned Paper (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) to 1-1/4 x 4-1/4″. I used the left over stenciled circle (2-7/16″) from the previous card and added a Vellum scallop circle measuring 2-7/16″ which I die cut using the Stampin’ Up! LAYERING CIRCLES Dies (retired). I stamped a sentiment from the CP Sweet Holiday Sentiments Stampset (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) with Tsukineko Stazon MIDI JET BLACK Ink.

I used a 1-3/8″ circle punch to cut some circles from same white panel I die cut with the Hobnob Cover Plate Die. And colored them using the direct-to-paper technique and CP Rouge and Matcha Inks.

I finished the card by adding some CP Bavaria Sequin Mix (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit).

On the inside of the card I cut two strips of CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Patterned Paper to 1 x 4-1/4″ and 1-1/8 and 4-1/4″.

A Holiday Card feat. Catherine Pooler Designs Hobnob Cover Plate and Fall Frames Dies

Hello friends. Here’s another fun card using the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit Box from Catherine Pooler Designs. For this one I’m combining the Hobnob Coverplate with the Fall Frames Dies (previously released) as well as the Mix & Bake set.

For the first card, I cut a piece of Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler 8.5 x 11″ Cardstock to 5-1/2 x 8-1/2″ and scored at 4-1/4″. I die cut the front panel from some CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) using the CP Hobnob Cover Plate (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit). And I cut a piece of Simon Says Stamp Silver Glitter Cardstock to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″.

Next, I die cut the frame from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the CP Fall Frames Dies and the inside (negative) piece from Vellum. I stamped the sentiment from the CP Sweet Holiday Sentiments Stampset (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) with Tsukineko Stazon MIDI JET BLACK Ink.

I die cut the spatula and rolling pin from both Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) and inked the rolling pin with CP Gingerbread Ink (to be released at a later date) and the spatula with CP Cotton Candy Ink.

For the cookie, I ink blended the cookie with CP Gingerbread Ink on Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and then stamped the snowman icing part with CP Rouge, Midnight and Tiki Torch Inks.

I finished off the card by adding some CP Bavaria Sequin Mix.

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″ and a piece of CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper to 1 x 4″. I also stamped a sentiment from the CP Sweet Holiday Sentiments Stampset with CP Rouge Ink.
