Soda Pop Insta Hop + 3 New Gray Inks + Giveaway!

Join me today on Instagram for your chance to win the brand new gray inks from Catherine Pooler Designs and see some inspiration for the new Soda Pop Release!  The three new gray inks and the new products from the Soda Pop Release will be available to purchase in the Catherine Pooler Designs shop on Wednesday, April 19th at 9 AM Eastern time. 

Let's take a quick look at the new Gray inks.

Here are all five gray inks together.  The pads are in order of the stamped colors on the cardstock.  Black Jack & Twilight are the two previously released gray inks.

Here are the three new grays.  Slate is a little lighter than Black Jack and has a blue undertone.  Hoodie is such a good mid-gray!  I used it quite a bit on this release.  And Pebble makes a great, soft gray!  I always enjoy using "neutrals" that aren't black!

Now, here is the card (with the supplies) that I shared on the Instagram Hop.

The new Feelin' Fizzy Stamp Set is such a great set for dads and grandpas (pops)!  But, I wanted to challenge myself to see if I could make a feminine card with this set as well to stretch the set!  I always love to find ways to use my sets in ways they weren't orginally intended.  I enjoy roaming through vintage markets and antique stores from time to time (I even sell my cards at a local Flea Market) and I will often see old pop bottles there.  I love to pick up vintage jars for flowers or other decorations and so I went with that theme.  

I used the new Feelin' Fizzy Stamp Set to stamp my bottle with the new Hoodie Ink and then I blended Hot Tub Ink over the bottle to make it look like water was inside.  I die cut it with the coordinating dies.  I stamped some flowers from the Dried Treasures Stamp Set and also stamped the stems onto the bottle.  The flowers were colored with a blending pen and Pink Champagne, Peppermint Scrub & Martini Inks.

The new Retro Love Dies, free with a $75 purchase while supplies last, was the perfect way to add a sentiment on the scalloped frame.  I stamped "mom" from the Mothers & Daughters Sentiments Stamp Set using Hoodie Ink and now I can use this as a Mother's Day card.

Don't forget to visit Instagram and comment on my card and on my fellow crafter's cards who are also in the hop for your chance to win the three new gray inks + their refills!

Black & White with a Pop of Color

It's my time to host the StampNation weekend challenge and I wanted to share the card I made for that here.

The theme is Black & White with a pop of color.  I've always been drawn to color schemes like this and typically I pair bright colors with the black & white.  For this card, I decided to tone it down a little and I used more spa like colors.

I stamped my background on white cardstock.  Detailed background stamps make a great start for a black & white card!  After stamping the Doodle Garden Background, I angled the paper on my card front, adhered it and then cut off the overhang from each side.  I chose three colors of cardstock from my stash resembling Bay Breeze, It's a Girl & Sauna inks.  I die cut each of those colors four times with the super cute Butterfly Buddies dies.  I adhered each of the three butterflies in the same color together for dimension and then added the fourth butterfly to the top only gluing the center part so I could fan the wings up.  I stamped the sentiment in Bay Breeze Ink from the Typed Up Sentiments Stamps.  

If you'd like to join StampNation and play along with our challenges, we'd love to have you!  You can purchase a monthly, quarterly or yearly subscription.

Thanks for stopping by today!
