Smile in Rainbow

Jen Carter CP Create Smile Stained Class Vellum

I really love this card and the all of the colors. I originally showed how I made this background in this post using stamps from the Eat, Sleep, Create Stamp Set and lots of beautiful ink colors (linked below).

Here's a picture of one of the backgrounds, similar to this one, where I used the paint strip stamp from Eat, Sleep, Create to repeatedly stamp the image. Where the ink colors overlap it makes additional colors. Love that!

After stamping the background, I die cut the Stained Glass Cover Plate Die with Vellum and then attached it. I die cut the Smile Word Die from cardstock that I had blended with Skylight & Daydream inks. I then used Wanderlust Embossing Powder to add sparkle to both the smile sentiment & the strip underneath it. I added clear sequins to finish the card off (Crater Lake Sequins would be perfect for this!).

I used all of the inks in the Paradise Found & Zen Garden collections for this card.

There's a NEW Catherine Pooler Designs release coming soon! Be sure to tune into Facebook each day starting Wednesday, January 22nd as there will be Live Product Reveals every day until the release on Wednesday, January 29th.

Let's Party x 2

Jen Carter CP B&W Trio WooHoo Cuppa Tea Eat Cake Party

I made this card ensemble a while back and have only shared one of the three cards on my blog. So why not share all three today? (If you'd like to see the original card, you can view it here.) I love to make cards with black & white backgrounds and then adding color to pop on top!

I started by stamping the black & white background sentiments using the WooHoo Stamp Set which I LOVE and tend to reach for often! I arranged the sentiments on the Large Rectangle Acrylic Grid which is the perfect size for this technique and it makes lining up the sentiments a cinch! I then stamped the sentiments over and over until my card front was filled.

For the main images & sentiments I used the Cuppa Tea stamp set in Party Dress, Orange Twist & All the Jazz inks. I used Over Coffee ink for the coffee portion & then I went over it with a glitter pen for a little sparkle. I popped the tea cups & colored sentiments up with dimensional tape.

This is exactly the same premise as the card before only this time I used the cupcakes from the I Eat Cake Stamp Set & then die cut them with the coordinating I Eat Cake Dies. The colors I used are Flirty Fuchsia, Party Dress, Over Coffee & Sauna.

I also popped the cupcakes & sentiment up with dimensional tape.
