Catherine Pooler Inks & Stamps Release Day 3



Welcome to Day 3 of the new release for Catherine Pooler Designs!  Today the design team is showcasing the Eat, Sleep & Create stamp set (my personal favorite set from the release), the Create die & the Doodle Garden Background stamp.  


The release is already available in the Catherine Pooler store so if you haven't already checked it out, you can do that by clicking here.  There are 8 new ink colors available that coordinate beautifully with the previously released Spa Collection: Paradise Found ink bundle as well as new stamp sets, dies & a new stencil.  You can check out the Spa Collection: Zen Garden Bundle here.

Create Your Own Sunshine Painted Heart
I loved playing with the new Eat, Sleep & Create stamp set.  I couldn't put it down!  For my first card I was inspired by this quilt.  I thought that the paint strip from that stamp set would be perfect to replicate the heart with.

Jen Carter Create Your Own Sunshine Painted

I started by stamping the middle stripe of the heart which is stamped in the new ink color Spruce (most of the inks used on this card are the new colors).  I then worked my way from the middle to each side.  So starting from the pink color on the left hand side I used Rose Petals, Polished, Shea Butter, SeafoamSpruce, Skylight, Stone Blue, Daydream & Sugared Lavender.  When I got to the stripe on the very end of each heart I used a post-it note to mask off the top of the stripe so that it would be shorter than the other stripes.

I actually made two cards that are very similar (I'll share the other at a later date) and from it I used the new Create die to cut out the create sentiment.  I stacked it up with two more sentiments and then added a dusting of glitter on top using a Nuvo glitter pen.  The sentiment & little plus signs are also from the Eat, Sleep & Create stamp set.  I love all of these colors stamped together!

Create Happiness Doodled Background
If you were following Creativation you probably saw the gorgeous black & white background from Catherine Pooler's booth.  That background is also a stamp!  Yay!  

Jen Carter Doodle Garden Eat Sleep Create Happiness Rainbow

For this card I started by using the same paint strip stamp from the Eat, Sleep & Create stamp set that I used on the first card I shared today.  To make the background I lined up all of the Spa inks and then stamped 3 - 4 colors on each row slightly overlapping each stamp.  I love the colors that were made when the colors overlapped.  Once that was dry I stamped the  Doodle Garden Background stamp with VersaMark ink over the top of it and then embossed it with white embossing powder.  I cut a white strip for the sentiment, from Eat, Sleep & Create, and stamped it in DaydreamPolished (coral), Shea Butter inks.


This is what the background looked like prior to stamping & embossing with the Doodle Garden Background stamp.  I just love the colors!
