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 quick and easy coffee-themed birthday card using older stamp sets from my stash. I love the modern graphic style of this coffee set!

For this card, I cut a piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 7” x 6” and scored at 3-1/2″. I also cut a piece to 3-1/4 x 5-3/4″, and another piece to 1 x 5-3/4″.

For the background piece, I stamped the smaller images from the Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) with Catherine Pooler Sand Castle Ink and then I used the direct-to-paper technique with S’mores Ink to color the strip.

I stamped the espresso maker from Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with Rockin’ Red, Pebble, and Oh Boy! inks. I popped them up using Foam Tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the Catherine Pooler Designs Perfect Blend Stampset (discontinued) and Sugar Pea Designs Espresso Yourself Stampset onto Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ with S’mores Ink and Cranberry Fizz and fussy cut it out.

I left the inside of the card blank and added a S’mores-colored espresso maker.

kittieslovecrafting

Hello friends. I am loving all the new Trinity Stamps yummy donut dies and stamps! It’s so easy to make cards with these dies, I just had to make more… For this one I had to CASE a card from Carrie Rhoades (from the Trinity Stamps Creative Team), featuring the Tiny Teacup and Tiny Donut Die Sets. It is a super cute card!

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, another piece to 4 x 5-1/4. I colored the panel with Catherine Pooler Designs Hot Tub and Skylight inks. Then I added splatters with Hot Tub, Skylight and S’mores inks. I cut another piece of Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ to 1-1/4 x 4″ and embossed it using the Queen and Company Embossing Folder from the Embossing Folder Bundle (discontinued).

I die cut the teacup and donuts using the Tiny Teacup Die Set and Tiny Donut Dipper Die Set from Simple Stories Sweet Talk 12 x 12 Paper (discontinued), Lawn Fawn Kraft 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock, Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock, Bazill Strawberry Cheesecake 12 x 12 Cardstock (discontinued), and Stampin’ Up! Early Espresso 8-1/2 x 11″ Cardstock.

I stamped the sentiment from the A-GLAZE-ing 4×8 Stamp Set onto Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler 8-1/2″ X 11″ Cardstock with Lawn Fawn YETI Pigment Ink and WOW Opaque Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder. I popped it up by using 3M Foam Tape.

On the inside of the card, I added a strip of embossed Neenah 100lb Classic Crest Cardstock 8.5 X 11″ cut to 1 x 5-1/2″ as well as a piece of pattern paper cut to 1-1/2 x 5-1/2″. I stamped a sentiment from Lawn Fawn’s Happy Happy Happy Add-On with Stampin’ Up! Cherry Cobbler Ink (retired). I also added another donut.
