Catherine Pooler x Pear Blossom Press!!!

Hi!
Welcome to the Catherine Pooler Designs x Pear Blossom Press Collab Hop! We're sharing fun, interactive cards that will really brighten your day. They feature awesome new stamps and dies from Catherine Pooler Designs, and with help from Pear Blossom Press, they all really light up! Be sure to hop along with us for loads of inspiration; our designers have come up with some brilliant cards!


I created two cards using Bright Days stamp set and coordinating dies for these cards.  They were perfect to use with the Pear Blossom Press EZ Lights and Halo Lights.  


I stamped the images, colored them in and die cut them.  Then, I decided where they would lay on the card panel.  I die cut the areas where the bulbs would sit.  I added the batteries and placed the lights down.  I couldn't believe how easy it was to use the EZ Lights! I was actually pretty nervous about it at first, but it was so easy! Then I placed the lights down and held them in place with tape.


I tested the lights before completing and assembling the card to make sure the positioning was OK.


I used the My Favorite Things Interactive Labels stamp to show how to light everything up and where to press.  Then, I assembled the cards using Heffy Doodle foam from Pear Blossom.

Here are a few close-ups of the cards:



And now, here are a few pics in the dark to show off how awesome the lights look!





Next stop is my amazing friend Marcia!!! If you get lost along the way, the hop starts at the Catherine Pooler Blog.

  3. These are amazing cards. I love the subtle triangle background and that the bulbs are turned upright instead of hanging. And the sunrays used for light beams. Both are so bright. Love it!
