Holiday Wrap Up Release with Catherine Pooler!

Hi! I am so excited to be sharing some projects I made using the newest release from Catherine Pooler! I made a quick video, showing how I created a some tags using these fantastic products! For this release, we are literally 'wrapping it up,' sharing tags, thank you notes, gifts - everything needed to wrap up the Holiday Season!

For my card, I used the Holiday Mittens stamp set and coordinating dies.   The sentiment is from the new Still Smiling stamp set. I also used the inks that come in the Foundations Box.  On this card, I  used Grass Skirt, Fiesta Blue, Rocking Red and Midnight inks.

The video above shows my process for these tags! I used most of the Foundations Box inks again (Grass Skirt, Fiesta Blue, Rocking Red and Midnight) along with the Sending Blessings stamp set. I just love the way the inks stamp on Kraft cardstock.

Is there a better way to wrap up December than with a December Daily album? These albums are created to document each day in December, normally through Christmas Day (though some are for all month long).  I generally prefer to create the albums myself, as I did here using what I have on hand already.  I bought some paper and embellishments to get me started, but I used the whole Holiday Wrap Up Bundle on all my pages.

Did you see how I snuck in the mug from the For Everything set? :) I couldn't resist!

Lastly, I used Holiday Mittens along with all Foundations Box Inks (this time, including Orange Twist, too) to create some very simple sticky tags for gift wrapping.  

And don't miss out on these amazing gift ideas (did you see the bracelet in my video?!?!)! As long as you order by December 19, your gifts should arrive by Christmas!

Foundations Box Release!

Hi!
Today is the big day! The Foundations Box will be officially released! Don't know what a Foundations Box is? Check out this blog post and my video below!!!

I'd also like to say that Catherine Pooler is one of the kindest people I've met in the Industry (and just in life, too!).  She recently did a Giving Back Blog Hop to help some kids in Boston get computers they needed, and now, with creating these boxes, she gave women in Rwanda jobs - the biggest order they have EVER received! Want to learn more? Check out the details here.

Catherine Pooler Foundations Box Blog Hop!

Hi!
Welcome to the Foundations Box Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from Allison Cope's blog! I am so excited and honored to be a part of this incredible release!

What is a Foundations Box? I am so glad you asked! ;)

The Foundations Box includes 3 stamp sets (Spot On, For Everything, and Amazing Floral), 5 ink pads (Midnight, Orange Twist, Rockin Red, Fiesta Blue and and Grass Skirt), a clear block and a pack of Catherine Pooler Designs Cardstock! The box will sell for $67 and includes everything a brand new stamper needs to sit down and make a card right away. No other supplies necessary!

The products in this box are also staple products for EVERY stampers’ craft room.
I've created a video, sharing how to create these two cards using ONLY supplies in the box!

These final four cards I created, too using supplies in the Foundations Box, but I also used a few extra and inexpensive supplies.  I used ink to color in plain twine for this card:

I used two ink colors and blended them together, right on the stamp, to create both the above card and the card below:

I stamped directly onto an acrylic block and added some water.  Then, using a paintbrush, I flicked the color onto the card to created a splattered background.  No need for any fancy-schmany spray mists or bottles!

For my final card, I simply stamped the tree onto a scrap piece of pre-scored cardstock and trimmed it out.  I stamped the sentiment onto the card base and on the image, then just lined it up as I adhered the tree to the card.

These inks seriously stamp like a dream.  I'm not even kidding.  They are fantastic!

Ready to win? The more blogs you comment on, the more chances you have to win! We will have three days of hopping, with the Foundations Box available for purchase November 16.  Next up on the hop is Heather North.  

Good luck and happy hopping!
