I was inspired by the colors over at Merry Monday.  Love lime green and aqua together!


I also wanted to create one using traditional red & green.


The sentiment is from Wplus9.

MEDALLION MIX-UP - SAVE ON BUNDLES!!!


Hi everyone!  Happy Monday!  I'm sharing a few cards today with you using the Medallion Mix-up stamp set.  I just love the images in this set.  You can stamp these in so many different color combinations and get a different look each time!


For my first card, I stamped using the Party collection of ink colors by Catherine Pooler and a black and white heat embossed sentiment.

I made another one using different colors from the Party Collection and adding another stamp from the set.


I couldn't stop with just using the Party Collection of ink colors, I had to grab my Spa Collection and stamp some too!


LOVE these gorgeous colors!!!! 


I am hoping to get some time today after my root canal :( to stamp some of these in Christmas colors and a Christmas sentiment!!!!  Love that you can use these Medallions for so many occasions!!!

I'm playing over at Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes.




Don't forget Catherine is still running her sale. 

Check out the bundles that are at an awesome price!!!

Happy Shopping!!  Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

MOST WONDERFUL TIME OF THE YEAR & BLACK FRIDAY SALE


Hi everyone!  I am popping in quickly before taking some time to spend with my family for Thanksgiving to share a card I created using the Wonderful Time of the Year & Snowy Sayings stamp sets.  I also used the die from the Winterhaven Stamp of Approval Collection.

I stamped the oblong ornament in a star shape using the Spa colors in rainbow order and added a snowflake inside each circle for a bit of fun and interest.  I die cut the tag shape and added it to my card using black fun foam.  I stamped the sentiment and added some twine and a rhinestone to finish off my card.


I wanted to share a sale with you if you happen to do any shopping on Black Friday, Small Business Saturday or Cyber Monday.  Catherine is having a sale, check out the details in the graphic.  If you order on Friday, you will receive a special surprise bonus gift!  AWESOME!  

I highly recommend Catherine's Premium White Card Stock.  It is amazing and works perfectly with her inks!!!  Click HERE to start adding items to your wish list.  Happy Shopping!!!

Just a note


Hi everyone!  Today's card was inspired by the colors over at Color Throwdown.  Light & Dark Blue with silver.  Perfect combination!  I decided to pull out some stamps that are in Catherine Pooler's Foundations Box to create the background for my feather.  

I used It's a Boy & Something Borrowed inks.  I stamped and silver heat embossed the feather then die cut it out with it's coordinating die.  Stamped the sentiment from the same stamp set in the Foundations Box.  The feather is popped up and you know I had to add some black & white twine to finish off my card.  I just can't seem to stop adding this twine to my cards.  ;)

I'm thinking this would make a great gift set for Christmas.  Making a bunch of these using different colors for the background/feather and adding a different sentiment onto each one.  Hmm, what do you think?!!

This card uses the amazing plaid background stamp (which is sold out, but expected delivery to the store on Dec. 8th) and the Winter Woodland stamp set!  

I decided to stamp using blues and add silver.  Love this color combo for Christmas.

Here is another one using greens and gold.


While I had all my supplies out, I created a set of these cards.

PARADISE FOUND RELEASE BLOG HOP!!!


Hi everyone!  Welcome to the Paradise Found Ink Release Blog Hop Day 2!  You should have arrived here from Laurel's blog.   If you started on my blog, the complete hop list is below.

Catherine is not only releasing new 8 ink colors (WOOT!!), but new stamps/dies as well along with the Naturally Inspired Stamp of Approval Collection!!!


My first card today features the new colors, Royal Treatment, Daydream, & Juniper Mist.  It also features the new AWESOME Plaid Background stamp and Wonderful Time of the Year stamp set!!!!


I am SO in love with these new colors and the new products Catherine is releasing.  I started my card by stamping out the Plaid background stamp onto a piece of 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" white card stock. (I did stamp 8 of these using all the colors to have them on hand for future cards.)

I then stamped the amazing sentiment onto another piece of card stock and added the adorable ornament hanging from the sentiment.  The center stamp was inked with Daydream and Juniper Mist to create an ombre colored center.

I added a rhinestone and some black & white twine to finish off my card.

Here is another card using the same products and design just different colors.


My next card features the Winter Woodland stamp set!  Love this deer image and just had to stamp him/her in all the colors in rainbow order!


Comment to WIN!!!!
Before you go make sure you comment on each stop along the hop through Friday, November 17 at 11:55am EST.  Catherine will randomly pick 3 winners for $25 gift certificates to her shop!!!

CATHERINE POOLER PARADISE FOUND INK RELEASE!!!!

Hi everyone!  Hope you saw my post from yesterday.  Catherine is releasing new inks!!  So excited to share this with you all.  Catherine's inks ROCK!!!!


Today is Blog Hop Day 1!  I'm no officially "on" for today, but I have some cards to share with you using the new inks and some new goodies Catherine is releasing in her store.  You can find all the new items by clicking HERE!!!

The Naturally Inspired Stamp of Approval Collection is also available in the store HERE!!!


My cards today feature some of the new ink colors and the Wonderful Time of the Year stamp set!


Yes, I had to stamp the colors in rainbow order.  Even though I am drawn to bright, fully saturated colors, these colors are going to be a staple in my collection!  Awesome for vintage/masculine cards.

Let's talk about that sentiment for a minute, it is so perfect for making Clean & Simple cards and perfect for mass producing!  The handwritten font is amazing!

Here is another one using traditional Christmas colors and a different circle stamp.  These circle stamps are used for the inside of the ornament in this set, but why not use them in a different way?  Get more mileage out of your stamps!!!


Make sure you head over to Catherine's blog to see more inspiration from the DT using these new ink colors and goodies!

I'm playing along at....

NEW INKS COMING SOON!!!!


Hi everyone!  If you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, I'm sure you have seen some of the posts I have shared of Catherine's new ink line.  These colors are so beautiful!

Here's how the Spa collection differs from the Party collection:

-Party Collection Colors are high saturation colors...bright and vivid.  

-Spa Collection Colors are low saturation colors...muted (but not muddy).

Catherine has been revealing the colors over the past week or so.  


My favorite color is Daydream!  It is a gorgeous blue and so pretty stamped.  Catherine will be revealing the next two colors today at 10am EST on Facebook live.

The full ink release along with some new stamps/dies will be available to purchase tomorrow in Catherine's store!!!

Here's a peek at one of my projects using Peppermint Scrub ink and the new stamps being released!  So excited to share more with you tomorrow!


Thank you for visiting and I will see you back here tomorrow for more!  Have a great Monday!
