Sizzix and Catherine Pooler Rainbow Arches and Bright Butterflies

 Hi crafty friends! I'm excited to be collaborating with Scrapbook.com to share inspiration for the latest collaboration release between Catherine Pooler and Sizzix.

💥This entire release is absolutely adorable! Be sure to check it out.💥

Check out what I made and scroll down for supplies used.

My baby card duo uses the Rainbow Arches die set combined with the Birthday Bunting die set for the BABY letters. The soft muted neutral colors and patterns are from the A2 Darling paper pad.

This paper pad is perfect for those expecting parents who want to be surprised with the gender!

I think it's fun to die cut both solids and patterns with the rainbow pieces. This paper pad has several solids that coordinates with the patterns making it super easy.

-------------------------------------- 

This simple butterfly card uses the new Border Party Circles die set and the Bright Butterflies Stamp and die set. I used a strip of paper from the A2 Bouquet paper pad and colored the butterfly to match! I die cut the body and trimmed a strip of Onyx Glitter paper for a pop of sparkle!

I love how all of these turned out!

Today I'm sharing inspiration for the Happy Garden 2 layering stencil set. There are 4 stencils in this set measuring 4.3" x 6.3". I really love the whimsical vibe of the flowers and leaves in this set.

I used my Distress Oxide inks with Bristol Smooth cardstock. The sentiment and accent stars are from the Birthday Bunting die set die cut with black glitter cardstock. To add some more glitz, I cut a 1/8" strip of Antique White glitter cardstock and added it to the left. A simple twine bow completes the card. I love how this turned out!

Sizzix and Catherine Pooler April collaboration, Day 2 inspiration

 Hi everyone! Welcome to day 2 of my collaboration with Scrapbook.com to share inspiration for the latest collaboration release between Catherine Pooler and Sizzix! If you missed my first card, you can check it out here.

This release features hot air balloons, kites and birthday banners! There are: 4 die sets, 1 3D Texture Embossing Folder, 1 layering stencil set and 3 stamp sets!

This entire release is fabulous! Be sure to check it out.

My fun shaker card uses In the Clouds layering stencil set for the background, the Sky's the Limit 2 die set for the kite, the Floating Fancy die set for the flower accents and Sky's the Limit stamp set for the sentiment.

The In the Clouds comes with 4 layering stencils. To achieve this muted effect, I used the first 3 layers with 2 colors of ink. The shaker kite was made using the largest kite in the Sky's the Limit die set. I die cut the kite 10 times from cardstock, filled the openings with 2 colors of the Shimmer Flakes. 

I couldn't resist adding flower accents, so I used the small flower and leaves from the Floating Fancy die set die cut from coordinating colors.

 

I just love how this turned out! Stay tuned for 1 more cards using this collab collection!

Scrapbook.com Christmas in July: Sizzix and Stacey Park release

 Hi everyone! I'm excited to be collaborating with Scrapbook.com and sharing inspiration for the latest release by Stacey Park for Sizzix. This release features 2 die sets, 4 3D Texture Embossing Folders WITH coordinating stencils, 2 stamp sets with coordinating stencils and more! Most of the release is Christmas themed, but most of it can be used for other occasions.

First up is a mini slimline card that uses the stamp set The View and it's colored with the coordinating stencil The View #2. I should note that this stencil could also work on it's own, especially the trees!

First I stamped the cityscape with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then stenciled them with Distress Oxide inks. I gave them some white splatters with the SBC white Lustre Brush Marker for a little snow and/or stars effect. I stamped the santa sleigh in Versafine Onyx Black (it's pigmented enough to cover the oxide ink blending) and added a simple sentiment strip from one of my favorite quick and easy sentiment strip packs!

 

Next up are 4 cards using the Christmas, Star Bright die set. This die set is pretty cool and once you die cut it with different cardstock, it is easy to inlay mix and matched die cuts to get lots of cards! I started out making one card with greens and silver and another with pinks and gold. But I had SO MANY left overs that I easily made 2 more! 

You'll notice the embossing on the large star pieces, I did this with one of the new 3D texture embossing folders called Shine Bright. I placed the cut pieces around the center to make sure all the pieces had the embossed dotted lines going in the same direction. Here is a visual.

Here are all 4 of my cards.

 

Each uses a Christmas sentiment strip from either Gina K Designs or Paper Rose. I love having sentiment strips they are so easy to cut (or die cut) out and add to any project!
