Happy hump day....!!

  Hey there friends...

Today's card is a desert themed birthday card and the critters are ready to party!!

For this card I used these Time for Tea designs products....

- Waves cover die

- Happy hump day stamp/co-ordinating die collection

I created the card base using the waves cover die and to add some interest I adhered all the wave pieces using different levels of foam tape...

(The outside frame was done by blending and splattering distress oxide inks)

I then stamped, coloured and die cut a bunch of the images from the Happy hump day set before adding some white highlights and adhering in a fun little scene on the card base!

A sentiment and a few sequins completed the card...

What do you think of this one, are you ready to party with the critters?!

Thanks for checking out my card, happy crafting. Hugs Ashlee.

P.S there is a brand new release coming very soon at T4T so keep an eye out for all the sneak peeks because it is SUPER AWESOME!!

StampNation early ordering at CPD for Global Adventure Pt. Tres....!!

 Hey there friends...

It's StampNation early ordering day for the brand new collection Global adventure Pt. Tres at Catherine Pooler designs so I thought I would share another card I made featuring the O Canada stamp set....

To make this card I started with a green cardstock base that I added some ink blending and splattering too using CPD inks Grass Skirt and Deck the Hall... 

Using Deck the Halls ink I stamped some trees on the background. In then stamped a couple of images from the O Canada set using Over Coffee/Smokes for the beaver and Glitz/Over Coffee for the maple. I die but them using the co-ordinating dies and adhered them to the base using foam tape!!

To complete the card I added a heat embossed sentiment on a die cut Tickets and Tape cut. Adhered that underneath the images and added a touch of Yukon sequins.....

Here is a list and links to the new release products I used to make this card :

- O Canada stamp set / Co-ordinating dies

- Yukon sequin mix

- Tickets and tape dies

I hope you enjoyed this card and if you choose to add some Global Adventure Pt. Tres goodies to your collection then happy shopping!! Oh and Don't worry if you aren't part of the StampNation group because general ordering opens up for you too tomorrow.... 

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.

Global adventure Pt. Tres is coming soon at CPD!

 Hey there friends...

New release time is here at Catherine Pooler designs and this collection is called.....

"Global adventure Pt. Tres"!!

Today I get to share a card I made using some of the products from the O Canada bundle along with the extras bundle...

I used these new CPD products :

- O Canada stamp set / Co-ordinating dies

- Moose crossing patterned paper

- Yukon sequin mix

- Scallop square die

- Just right duos stamp set

- Tickets and tape dies

To create this card I started with a piece of patterned paper from the Moose crossing pack. I then die cut the largest sized scalloped square from a dark brown card stock and layered a stitched square die cut on top. Using the tickets and tape die I die cut two tags from black card stock and heat embossed some just right duos sentiments on them using WOW! Opaque bright white embossing powder. I adhered the tags onto the scalloped square and then added a super cute stamped beaver from the O Canada stamp set before completing the card with some Yukon sequins!!

Keep an eye out from CPD designers for lots more sneak peeks of the new release....

The Global adventure Pt. Tres collection will be available for general ordering on Wednesday March 22nd (Day previous for StampNation members) 

I will be back soon with more inspiration using these fabulous bundles but for now happy crafting, hugs Ashlee. 

There's a bear in the wood's....!!

 Hey there crafty friends...

I've got a new card to share today featuring the Happy trails set from Time for tea designs!!

I wanted to create a scene of a bear lost in the woods so I used a couple dies from T4T to set the scene...

- Winter trees

- Ocean waves

- Hey, Hello, Hi (for the large focal sentiment)

I started with a blue cardstock base that I added some slight blue inking to for depth to the sky. I then used green cardstock and added ink blending and splatters to it so that I could die cut the tree top (I used one of the ocean wave dies) and then a strip for the grass. Using a piece of brown cardstock I added brown ink blending and splatters and then die cut a bunch of trees trunks...

I adhered all the trunks to the sky base using liquid glue and then adhered the tree top and grass with foam tape. The hey sentiment was adhered into the tree top and to add a sub sentiment I stamped the I'd be lost without you on light brown card and added it to the grass. 

I stamped, coloured and die cut all the images before arranging my little woods scene before completing the card with a touch of sequins!!

(All images were coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers)

I hope you enjoyed today's card, I certainly had lots of fun making it...

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee. 

Birthday treat's....!!

 Hey crafty friends...

Today's card features a few of the newest Pawsome Stamps products!! 

This one is full of bright colours (which I love using on my cards) and yummy treats perfect for a birthday celebration!!

To create this card I started with a pink cardstock base that I inked a design on using the Moroccan flowers stencil and then added extra shading around the edges in towards the centre before adding a splatter of white paint...

Using the same coloured pink card as I did for the base I heat embossed the sentiment using WOW! Opaque bright white embossing powder and fussy cut around it. 

I stamped, coloured and cut out all the images from the Baked with Love set before adhering all those around the card using different layers of foam tape adding lots of dimension and fun...

(Images were all coloured with Spectrum noir tri-blend markers)

To complete the card a touch of pretty sequins and white gel pen highlights to the images!!

Below is a picture showing the Spectrum noir tri-blend markers I used for colouring up all the baked with love images...

AVO nice day shaker....!!

  Hey there friends...

I have an avocado inspired card to share featuring the "Let's spoon stamp and die collection" from Time for Tea designs...

I recently got these stamps and the let's avocuddle shaker embellishments so I couldn't wait to make a shaking avocado card with them!! 

I created the card base using the A2 stitched hearts cover die by die cutting it from a green cardstock and then adding some shading to the bottom half portion using green ink....

I then adhered acetate to the cut out and added foam tape to make the shaker portion, filled it with avocado babies/sequins and backed it closed with another green piece of cardstock!!

I wanted a fun sentiment so I die cut the AVO NICE DAY using the Anthony's alphas die from white and green cardstock so that I could adhere the white cuts behind the green offset creating a letter shadow...

These were adhered to the card base using foam tape giving a nice bit of dimension to the lettering!!

I coloured up a couple of the super cute avo's using OLO markers and stamped the centres using CPD ink. Using a white gel pen I added some white highlights them adhered them to the base also using foam tape to pop them up...

To complete the card a small touch of sequins!!

Thanks for checking out my inspiration for today, I hope YOU avo nice day hehe....

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.
