Stretch Your Dies: Using Non-Background Dies As A Background feat. Catherine Pooler Designs

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. For this card, I decided to try using one of the dies included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit Box (from Catherine Pooler Designs) in a different way — as a background for my images. Let’s see how easy it was to make…

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″. I also cut a piece of CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″, and another piece to 4 x 5-1/4″.

I die cut three baking racks from the CP Cookie Sheet Dies (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″. Then cut 3 circles, measuring 2-3/8″ and 1-7/8″, using Stampin’ Up! Layering Circles Dies (may be retired). I also cut scalloped circles from using the same die set that were slightly larger. I colored those circles with CP Rouge, Matcha and Sea Glass Inks using the direct-to-paper technique.

I die cut the backgrounds for the cookies from the CP Baking Spirits Bright Stampset from Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ and colored them with an ink blender and Gingerbread Ink. Then stamped the frosting and piping with Matcha and Sea Glass Ink for the candy cane and Rouge for the frosting of the ornament. I stamped the details with Versamark Ink and embossed with WOW Bright White Embossing Powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the CP Baking Spirits Bright Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Midnight Ink and fussycut it out to add to the top circle. All the circles were popped up with some 3M Foam Tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the CP Sweet Holiday Sentiments (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) onto a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Midnight Ink then cut it to 1 x 4-1/4″ and also cut a piece of CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper 1-1/4 x 4-1/4″. I popped it up by adding some Foam Tape.

I finished the card by adding some Nuvo Crystal Drops in White Gloss.

On the inside of the card I cut a piece of pattern paper to 1 x 5-1/2″ and another to 1-1/4 x 5-1/2″. I stamped a sentiment from the CP Sweet Holiday Sentiments Stampset with CP Rouge Ink and added a cookie.

A Very Simple Way to Add Sparkle to Your Backgrounds feat. Catherine Pooler Designs

Hello friends. This card was inspired by Daniel West’s card tutorial for the Baking Spirits Bright Virtual Retreat! This card uses glitter embossing powder to easily add sparkle to the background. It didn’t take very long to make and the end result is so pretty!

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 a piece of CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper (included in the Baking Spirits Bright Card Kit) to 4-1/4 x 5-1/2″, another piece to 4 x 5-1/4″ and a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 3-3/4 x 5″.

I stamped the snowflakes from the Baking Spirits Bright stampset with CP Wintergreen, Tranquil, Stone Blue, and Sea Glass Inks onto the front panel then stamped the details with Versamark Ink and embossed with Wow Wanderlust Embossing Powder.

I stamped the sentiment from the CP Here We Go A Caroling Stampset (retired) onto a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Rouge Ink and cut it to 1-1/16 x 5″. I also added a strip of pattern paper from the CP From the Kitchen 6 x 6 Paper behind it.

Next, I stamped a snowflake onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with CP Wintergreen Ink and Sea Glass Ink and die cut it with the coordinating dies. Then embellished it with some Wow Sparkling Sugar Sparkles Glitter.

On the inside of the card I cut a piece of pattern paper to 1-7/8 x 5-1/2″ and another to 1 x 5- 1/2″. I stamped a sentiment from the CP Baking Spirits Bright stampset with CP Sea Glass Ink and added a snowflake with CP Tranquil Ink.
