Catherine Pooler

Tuesday with Tara {take 404} Playful Pinwheels

Happy Tuesday!

Today I’m sharing a fun card I made with the fun cover plate die by Catherine Pooler called Playful Pinwheels.  This is quite a simple card design, because the die really does all the work for you.  I die cut it from a piece of watercolor card I’d previously inked up with Distress Inks in shades of blue & yellow.  The cut fills up an entire card front, so I chose to adhere it onto a white base.  I cut it in several colors (watch my personal blog & instagram page for more makes!) so I used some of the petals from another cut to fill in one of the corner cuts in Kraft.  I raised one petal with 3D foam squares and die cut a sentiment (from Honey Bee’s Bitty Buzzwords) twice for a bit of dimension.

I finished it off with one little flat back pearl in green for that little touch of bling.  I love the playful, retro feeling and the bit of dimension.  Hope you like it too!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 372} Fall is in the air

Happy Tuesday!

I’m back to share another card I made with the Fall Calls for Lattes stamp set by Catherine Pooler, this one has all the apple cider vibes!  Yum!  There’s so many great stamps in this set, and for this card I created a simple background on a Kraft card using a variety of leaves and the apple stamp.  I stamped everything in a dark brown ink, then added a touch of a highlight & dimension with a lighter brown Copic marker.

I couldn’t decide between red or green for my apples, so I’ve used both colors for this fun card!  The little touch of book print adds a bit of a teacher vibe to it… and I know all the teachers would appreciate a little extra kindness today if they are working the day after Halloween!

The finishing touches on this card are a bit of bling, some Glossy Accents on the green apple and some 3D foam dots to pop up that colorful to-go cup!  Hope it makes you smile!

Be sure to join us right back here on the blog on Friday for our November hop… I’ve seen some peeks of the cards the girls are making and it’s going to be a great one!

Inky hugs,

Tara

Tuesday with Tara {take 370} Miss You Mugs

Happy Tuesday!

I’m excited to share a card I made with the Fall Calls for Lattes stamp set by Catherine Pooler. I fell in love with it when I saw the first project with it and since there’s so many great elements on it, you’ll likely see me share several cards with it while autumn is still here!

I started with some simple stamping and coloring with my Copic markers.  I stamped a bunch of mugs & elements and just started to play… these images are so much fun!  After fussy cutting a few pieces, (the coordinating dies might be something I invest in soon!) I selected cardstock colors to work with.

I had already chosen a layout I wanted to use, inspired by a sketch I saw on Instagram by Freshly Made Sketches.  I knew these small elements would be perfect framed on a die cut square!  For my background layer, I pulled out a ‘vintage’ Tim Holtz embossing folder with simple leaf shapes.  I embossed a Kraft panel then inked the edges with Ground Espresso Distress Ink.  A hint of mica spray is a great touch, I love the gold on Kraft!

The rest is pretty self explanatory!  I finished everything off with some foam squares for dimension and a touch of twine & bling for texture.  Next up I need to get this in the mail to one of the many friends I miss having coffee with…

Inky hugs,

Tara
