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″.

Creating a Holiday Shaker Card feat. Catherine Pooler Designs Cookie Sheet Dies

Hello friends. I recently received my Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit Box from Catherine Pooler Designs and am having so much fun making cards. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, in July she released a card kit box that is remeniscent of her old Stamp of Approval boxes that were released quarterly years ago. The theme of the box is holiday baking so it has alot of super cute images and dies. This box also came with a virtual retreat packed full of classes. For my first card I knew I needed to make a shaker card using the cute baking rack in the kit.

For the first card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 5-1/4 x 10-1/2″ and scored at 5-1/4″ to create a card base and another piece to 5 x 5″. I stenciled the backgound using the Catherine Pooler Designs Ditsy Holly Layering Stencil (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) along with Simon Hurley Later Gator Lunar Paste for the leaves and CP Rouge Ink mixed with Modeling Paste for the berries.

For the shaker I die cut the cookie sheet from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with the CP Cookie Sheet Dies (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) as well as several of the baking rack (I cut off the grid part so it gave me several borders to stack). I used the direct-to-paper technique with CP Rouge Ink to color the cookie sheet.

I added a piece of acetate behind the baking rack before adding all the stacked frame pieces. I used the CP Bavaria Sequin Mix and Sparkling Sugar Sparkles Glitter by WOW for the shaker bits.

I stamped the cookies using CP Cotton Candy, Gingerbread, and Rouge inks and heat embossed the gingerbread man’s details with White Embossing Powder. For the rolling pin I used CP Grass Skirt Ink and a woodgrain paper from the From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper Pack (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) with the Mix & Bake (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) dies.

I stamped the sentiment from the CP Baking Spirits Bright Stampset (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Midnight Ink and fussycut it before adding it to the card,

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

On the inside of the card I stamped a sentiment from the CP Sweet Holiday Sentiments Stampset (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) with CP Rouge Ink and added another gingerbread man.

Multipurpose Platform, 2.) Cutting Plate, 3.) Emboss mat, 4.) Paper. 5.) Die face down, and 6.) Cutting Plate. Check your machines guide for the proper snadwich.

I filled the pocket with a variety of flat sequins and stars and sealed the last side of the pocket. I adhered the panel to the card and then die cut a frame from Neenah 110lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ using the Spellbinders Nestabilities A2 Card Creator Dies Matting Basics A 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″ and 4-5/8 x 4-7/8″.
