Today I’m sharing a fresh and cheerful card featuring the brand-new Catherine Pooler Designs & Sizzix collaboration! This release is full of versatile dies, stencils, and fun sentiments—and I couldn’t wait to dive in with some of my favorites.
The Background
I started my card with the beautiful new Happy Garden 2 Layering Stencil. Using a soft and springy palette, I blended Melon Ice, Martini, Frosted, and Serene inks to bring the garden blooms to life. I love how these inks layer seamlessly for that soft botanical look. I quick splatter of metallic silver watercolor paint added that touch of glimmer!
To give the panel a decorative edge, I reached for the Scallops & Dots Dies, which cut out that pretty scalloped border detail. It frames the design so sweetly and adds an extra touch of whimsy.
The Sentiment
For the bold focal point, I die cut one of the Exclamation Word Dies and blended it with Serene ink. A few touches of White Gel Pen accents help it pop against the background. To anchor the sentiment, I layered it over a vellum circle die cut from the Border Party Circles Dies—I love that these dies emboss the edge of the circle for just the right amount of subtle detail!
The Finishing Touches
The vellum helps soften the busy floral background while still letting all that stencilled goodness peek through. The simple “yay” sentiment really makes this card perfect for so many occasions—celebrations, accomplishments, or just happy mail to brighten someone’s day!
✨ All of the new Catherine Pooler Designs & Sizzix products are available now in the Catherine Pooler shop.
Happy shopping!
