Hi everyone, it's time to hop, hop, hop!!

Catherine Pooler Designs brand new Tropical Treasures Release deputed in the shop on Wednesday and is available NOW!!  You can click on any of the links here today and they will take you straight to the shop for a closer look at these fabulous new goodies!


I love how Catherine Pooler is now offering these products in coordinating bundle sets but then is also giving you the option of buying each item separately if that's what suits you.


My first three cards are featuring products from the 


which includes:


I chose this bundle to work with because I absolutely fell in love with the adorable little birds in the Toucan Do It stamp set.  A toucan, a cockatoo and a parrot with the sweetest little faces!  They are super fun and easy to color.  I also really loved the Wild Thing Background stamp with all the whimsical little polka dots.  And the To The Point Cover Plate is ah-mazing!!

On my first card I heat embossed the Wild Thing Background in white and did some ink blending for a tropical sunset look.  For the wreath I just stamped all the little leaves and flowers in the Toucan Do It stamp set in black, onto white cardstock and then fussy cut around the edges. 
Stamps:  Toucan Do It, Wild Thing, Yay Stripes (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Ink:  Tiara, Tiki Torch, Tutti Frutti, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs), clear Versamark, Copic markers.  Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Toucan Do It coordinating dies (Catherine Pooler Designs), white superfine embossing powder (WOW!), dimensional tape.






My second card features the toucan's buddies, a parrot and a cockatoo.   I owned an eclectus parrot named Mango for many years and this little green guy reminds me so much of him.  First I did some blue ink blending on the base of this card.  Then cut out two circles from the top card panel to give each of these little tweeties their own spotlight. 
Stamps: Toucan Do It (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Inks:  It's a Boy, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs), Copic markers.  Paper:  Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Toucan Do It coordinating dies, Circles dies (Catherine Pooler Designs), ebony Nuvo Crystal Drops, dimensional tape.










Card number 3 features the gorgeous To The Point Cover Plate die!  Wow!  This is one amazing die!  I've seen so many amazing things done with this die already by the creative team.  Here I did some ombre ink blending on the card base.   Then I ink blended another piece of cardstock the same way.  I cut it using the To The Point Cover Plate die and then flipped it upside down before adhering it to the blended card front.
Stamps:  Toucan Do It (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Ink:  Melon Ice, Garden Party, Grass Skirt, Midnight (Catherine Pooler Designs), clear Versamark,  Copic markers, white Gellyroll pen.  Paper:  Smoke & Mirrors, Premium White Cardstock (Catherine Pooler Designs).  Accessories:  Toucan Do It coordinating dies, To The Point Cover Plate die (Catherine Pooler Designs), white superfine embossing powder (WOW!), dimensional tape.

Mother's Day Bundle

One in a Million Mom Floral Stamps One in a Million Mom Floral Coordinating Dies Mom word Die Chevron Divide Cover Plate Spring in Bloom Patterned Paper Springfield Sequin Mix

Here I used some of the beautiful Spring in Bloom Patterned Paper for a background.  This paper was made to coordinate with Catherine Pooler Ink colors.  I colored the flowers from the One in a Million Mom Floral stamps with Tiara yellow and It's a Girl pink.  The pinks in the flower and the background are a perfect match!  Just a note;  To color with Catherine Pooler inks, all you need is a blender pen so be sure to check them out in her store too!

The Ton - Washi Tape Release


Hello friends!  I'd like to welcome you to a very special release and blog hop for The Ton today.  This one is a little bit different.  The Ton's own Effie Cho has designed some gorgeous new washi tape using some of her amazing watercolored florals. 


Now first I should tell you, newbie here!   I have never worked with Washi Tape before so I was a little bit nervous taking on this project.  But when Effie sent me these two beautiful rolls I was so excited to get started.


Introducing:

Pink Peonies

and 
Wildflowers


Aren't they beautiful?  I tried to think of as many different ways as I could to use this Washi Tape on a card, let me show you a few.

Using the Wildflowers Washi Tape over white cardstock, I die cut a sentiment using The Ton's Bold General Greeting Word Plate dies.
 Also from The Ton:   
Stamps: City Girls Book of Life, Basic Labels.  Dies:  City Girls Book of Life,  Bold General Greeting Word Plate, Double Stitched Rectangles Lg.  Ink: Hollywood Star, Caviar


Using a larger Heart Jigsaw Stitched die really showcases the  water coloring affect in the
 Wildflowers Washi Tape.
Also from The Ton:
Stamps: Polka Dot Cling Background, Perfect Fit Sentiments.  Dies:  Heart Jigsaw Stitched Version.  Accessories:  Rose Gold Embossing Powder



Fussy cutting the Wildflowers Washi Tape and adding them to the Pragmatic Wreath is the perfect pop of color.
Also from The Ton:
Stamps:  Pragmatic Wreaths, Delicate Polka Dot Cling Background.  Dies:  Pragmatic Wreaths.  Ink: Lofty Mint, Bright Emerald, Ocean Teal, Aspen Cocoa, Noir.  Accessories:  Rose Gold Embossing Powder, Glass Slippers Mix.


The Pink Peonies Washi Tape is a soft and elegant pattern with a touch of beautiful rose gold foiling.  Here I diecut and did a little inlaying into the Geometric Circles Coverplate die.
 Also from The Ton:
Stamps:  Brushed Hello.  Dies: Geometric Circles Coverplate, Hello Word, Double Stitched Rectangles Lg.


And my final card today is my absolute favorite!  It's a dreamy cut out pattered dress using  
Wildflowers Washi Tape and The Ton's Wedding Dress stamps and dies.

Also from The Ton:
Stamps:  Wedding Dress, Thoughtful Poppies.  Dies:  Wedding Dress.   Ink: Caviar.  Accessories:  Rose Gold Embossing Powder, Amethyst Quartz Mix.
