Pear Blossom Press and Catherine Pooler Designs Collaboration

 

Hello there friends and welcome back to my blog!  I don't have a video for you today, but I do have a few cards to share that I made for a collaboration hop between Pear Blossom Press and Catherine Pooler Designs. You all know I love a light up, so I'm always looking for ways to incorporate them into my cards, and Catherine Pooler Designs has a lot of great options for that. 

I grabbed a One Light as soon as I saw this reindeer in the Santa's Crew stamp set.  OF COURSE I had to light up his nose!!  The papers from Jolly & Bright made decorating a breeze, which is why I'm always a fan of patterned papers.

I also used the Frilly Frames dies to really frame up our images.  Such a great die set that goes with so many other images that I have.  The Santa's Crew stamp set eludes to so much movement, which is why my initial thought when I saw this set was to use a Snap & Slide  to make is seem like any of the characters with their hands up might be juggling some ornaments.  It just makes me giggle to play with it. 

I hope you enjoyed the cards today.  I have everything linked down below for you to check out.  Also, be sure to head over to my Instagram to hop around and see what the rest of the creators made to show off how great both Pear Blossom Press and Catherine Pooler Designs are at working together!

Thanks for stopping by!

Simon Hurley Create Holiday Release

Hello everyone!  I've been under the weather, so I'm sad I didn't get a video made to show off the cool new products from Simon Hurley create. and Ranger, but I'm here on the blog to share.

My first card uses the new red rubber stamp set called Sketched Poinsettias.  I paired it up with the new Stained Glass Snow Stencil and some Sugar Rush Astro Paste.  This set will make some beautifully elegant holiday cards.


My next two cards use the super cute Yeti or Not stamps and dies.  These little yetis are so whimsical and fun.  I love that this set is perfect not only for the holidays but also the snowy season. This card also uses the Geo Trees Stencil along with some Ice Breaker Astro Paste.  The colors on this one are always a favorite of mine, using Iced Out, High Tide, Tropical Tango, and Loch Ness.


This final card not only uses the Yeti or Not set, but it also uses the new Snowscape Stencil with the Sugar Rush Astro Paste.  I had so much fun building up this little holiday scene.


There's one more set that I had planned to use in a Release and Review video, but again, I was under the weather.  That set is called Holiday Birds, and it is STUNNING!  There are some gorgeous, detailed images along with a TON of sentiments for all of your holiday cards.  It's definitely another great release!  You can find everything linked down below.  Happy shopping!
