Hello friends. I'm so sorry I've been a little MIA lately but I had a little accident in my craft room a few weeks ago. I was pulling one of my fun all night crafty session, working on some cards for a blog hop. I guess sleepy eyes and clumsy feet got the best of me and I tripped over a cord. I went down pretty hard and ended up having to be whisked away by ambulance to the hospital, only to find out I dislocated my ankle, tore the cartilage and broke it in three places. Crazy huh? Needless to say, I've been a mess ever since!
But now, as I'm recuperating from surgery I'm feeling the crafty pull. I need to work myself back into the game! I thought a good place to start would be the blog hop I missed out on the Zen Garden Blog Hop by Catherine Pooler Designs. I have a couple cards to show you today from that release. Catherine displayed these in her booth at Creativation last month so you may have had a peek at them already.
First up is a card featuring that fabulous Zen Feather stamp and coordinating die set and the Chevron Cheer Stamp set. And of course I used some of these gorgeous new inks from the Zen Garden collection!
I loaded up this Zen Feather stamp with three different colored inks and created an ombre affect. Then I covered each feather with some of Catherine's sparkly Wanderlust embossing glitter by WOW! I stamped the Chevron Cheer oval stamp directly onto the card front then I curved a border stamps to outline the oval. And that sentiment....Oh how I love that sentiment!!
For this card I used the following products from the Catherine Pooler Design store:
- Stamps: Zen Feather, Chevron Cheer
- Dies: Zen Feather Die set
- Ink: Shea Butter, Sea Foam, Skylight, Midnight
- Paper: Premium White Cardstock
- Accessories: Wanderlust embossing glitter (WOW!)
For my next card I got a little whimsical with the Love Grows stamp set. I had so much fun stamping this one! Using some of Catherine's brand new stamping blocks I just old schooled some layered stamping with the flowers and stamped a wavy border using the flower stems from the same stamp set. The little ink splatters were super easy using stamps from the Eat, Sleep, Create stamp set. What better way to control your ink splatters than to stamp them!
A little bit of diecut fun with the Create die!
For this card I used the following supplies from Catherine Pooler Designs:
- Stamps: Love Grows, Eat Sleep Create
- Dies: Create die
- Ink: Polished, Sugared Lavender, Stone Blue, Spruce, Shea Butter, Midnight
- Paper: Premium White Cardstock
Well, that's all for today. I'll be back soon with some more of my Zen Garden creations. Thank you so much for stopping by.
Happy Stamping!!
