Nordic Woods is Here!

 

The Nordic Wood Collection from CP is now available for you to purchase!

I made this simple Miss You card using the fun new "Bunny Slopes" and it's coordinating die "Bunny Slopes Die".   I used the super cute "In The Alps" 6x6 patterned paper too!  So super cute and easy to make!


See the whole Nordic Wood Collection HERE!

I hope you have a great Wednesday!  Happy shopping!

Heavenly Peace Dove

 

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Today is the final day of the first part of the Quiet Christmas Collection from Power Poppy.

The sneak peeks for the second part of the collection will begin on November 12th.

 Today we are sharing projects with this amazing stamp set... Heavenly Peace Dove is it's name.

I chose to add the elegant banner and sentiment across my Dove and olive branches.  I just love the look of this element of the stamp set.

I chose an unconventional color palette for my card today; peach and a dark cranberry color.  I colored my entire image with Copic Markers and I used my Blender Marker (#0) to add some spotty details to my peachy background.


 Well, let's check out what the rest of the crew created to share with you today...

Thanks for stopping in!  I hope you have enjoyed all of the amazing new stamp sets.  All stamp sets will be in the store today and are also offered as digital stamps as well!

Happy shopping!

Holly Framed Watercolor

 

Today is the day for our StampNation friends to go visit the Catherine Pooler Designs Shop and have a ball!  Yes, StampNation can go and shop NOW!

So one of the amazing aspects of the new Nordic Wood Collection is this amazing cover plate called "Holly Framed Cover Plate Die".  I cut it out of Premium White cardstock and then gathered some fun CP inks to watercolor my die cut;  Polished, Rouge, Peppermint Scrub, Orange Peel, Melon Ice, Green Tea, Eucalyptus, Spruce, Daydream, Sand Castle and Icing on the Cake.

 

For my background, I used some sticky embossing ink and then added some Wanderlust Embossing Powder.  It's so snowy and sparkly!  That fun sentiment is from the Cuddle Weather Sentiments

Happy Monday everyone!  Catherine has revealed another fun bundle for the Nordic Wood Collections today.

Today I cut out the beautiful "Holly Framed Cover Plate Die" from Premium White cardstock and then I colored up my paper using Juniper Mist ink.  I also die cut the same die into the pinky patterned paper from the "In the Alps 6x6" paper.

I trimmed the bottom holly and pine cones images from the bottom portion of the die cut and then backed it with a "Sweater Weather Background" stamp using Polished ink. 

To finish it off I stamped and die cut out some snowflakes from the "Bunny Slopes" stamp set plus I included a fun sentiment too!

New ~ Nordic Wood Collection from CP!

 

Squeal... it's coming!  It's the Nordic Wood Collection from Catherine Pooler Designs!  This collection is winter geared and not necessarily a Christmas or holiday collection but you can certainly make all of this collection holiday worthy!

I just had to share my favorite aspect of this collection... the stamp set, "Bunny Slopes" and it's coordinating die set.

I used the Sweet Sixteen ink to stamp the background with all the fun snowflakes from the Bunny Slopes stamp set.  Then I took some Sugared Lavender and added some hearts and also made some direct-to-paper cardstock for my label back ground; the Lattice Frame Die.

Then I used some random sizes of masking paper to create the tree shapes and branches.  Then I used a blending brushes with some Sauna ink to create the soft yellow sky. 

The skiing bunny is adorable right?!?!?

Warm Winter Coffee Wishes

 


Welcome to the Three Room Studio Saturday Challenge
 
I'm Allison and I'm your challenge host this week! I have to apologize that this challenge  is late being posted.  This week got away from me!!! 
 
This week's challenge is... to use the colours RED & GREEN.

I chose to use the adore cup from the "Awesome Coffee" stamp set!  This cup is SO fun to use since you can completely make it your own!

I decided to make it festive and add some holly and greenery from the "Skate Sleep Repeat" stamps.  This card was very easy to make and would be a great card to make multiples of.

Please take a gander at some of our fellow designer creations for today's challenge...

Thanks for checking out our talented designers!

Some Canvo Fun

Happy Thursday! I thought I'd share my first few pages of my Canvo today.

For my November intro page, I went fairly simple.  I loved using the rectangular part of the November Club Canvo stencil, "Weekly Ten".

I used Mint To Be, Mardi Gras, Pixie Dust and Fiesta Blue ink to create this spread...

For my first week, a kept a little more rustic colour palette... Royal Treatment, Eucalyptus, Green Tea and Icing on the Cake. 

Sign up by October 31st and your December themed Club Canvo products will ship the first week of November!

Introducing... Winter Scenery + a BIG Announcement!

 


Today is our final day of Krafty Peeks for the October Release at Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps!

Today we, KKS, are absolutely thrilled to be introducing a brand new artist to the Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps creative team! Now you already know this name as she's been part of the family for a couple of years now....as a Krafty Design Team member!!! 
 
It's ME!!
YES.... ME!
 
My very first stamp set is called.....Winter Scenery!
 

This stamp set is filled with so many gorgeous buildings, trees, landscapes...all covered in snow! The possibilities are endless for creating your own scenes as the focal point of your creations or to use as backgrounds for other image stamp sets!! It's an unbelievable set!
 
I began my card by creating a scene featuring the snowy bridge, one of the single snowy trees and the large treeline stamp.  I stamped the bridge and single tree in Wicked Black ink and the double treeline with Fresh Fields and Mossy Meadow inks. I coloured everything in Copic Markers.
 

For my card background, I first used a soft application of our Salty Sea ink through our new "Magical Mosaic Stencil".  Then, before removing the stencil, I used some Nuvo Glimmer Paste in Moonstone but I made sure to only scrape it randomly through the stencil.  It supposed to look a little like snow on a window pane. I like the effect it took on!  Plus I also added a piece of vellum to my card window to soften the black ink a bit.

 
As you hop around the design team's blogs today you'll be able to check out my WINTER SCENERY stamp set in action in combination with a lot of our other new October Kraftin' Kimmie products! 
 
Of course today is also challenge day and as always during release week, it's Anything Goes! So create a card, scrapbook page, altered item, planner page....with some Kraftin' Kimmie Stamps products for your chance to WIN the monthly prize!
