Autumn on Main Card Trio for Catherine Pooler Designs

Hello friends. The new Autumn on Main collection from Catherine Pooler hit the shop this week, and I have a trio of cards to share. Fall is my favorite season and I had lots of fun playing with this release. I know you will too! Scroll down for details. You'll find my full supply list at the end of this post.



 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.) 






All three of my cards feature products from the Mitford Falls Bundle, although products can be purchased separately. 





I used lots of CPD inks for all 3 cards which include Mandarin Spice, Bay Breeze, Sauna, S'mores, Clay Mask, Spiced and Sea Glass.






For the card above, I did some ink blending on white cardstock, then placed my tree die from the Mitford Falls dies over the ink blending, and proceeded to die cut. I cut 3 trees and then lots of tiny leaves from more dies from the set.





Next, I splattered lots of Copper Shimmer with a small dry paintbrush. I also pressed some S'mores ink on an acrylic block, spritzed with a little water, and then splattered that on the trees as well.




Lastly, I used a mask tape technique to stamp my sentiment in various ink colors, then hand trimmed the cardstock. I also added paper strips at the bottom of my card for added visual appeal. The strips were trimmed from the Woodland Walk patterned paper pack and the Ginger cardstock from the Spa Cardstock assortment.





Next up is this card that features lots of pretty patterned paper, stamping, die cutting, ink smooshing and more.





I started by ink smooshing these tree die cuts from the Mitford Falls die set. I also swiped some S'mores ink onto white cardstock, then ran my tree trunk/branch die and the inky cardstock through my Platinum 6 die cut machine.





I kept the front of my card scenic, but stamped a sentiment on the inside, and added some trimmed cardstock at the bottom.





My bakery image is a stamp in the Mitsford Falls stamp set, and I stamped it twice. Once with Spiced ink, and the other with Bay Breeze. I then used a small die in the Mitford Falls die set that will trim out the bakery sign, so I trimmed it from the Bay Breeze inking. Then, I simply adhered it to my Spiced stamped bakery at the top. I also did a little watercoloring on my bakery accents/awindows/door. I simply pressed a bit of Bay Breeze ink onto my craft mat, spritzed with water, and colored in with a water brush.





I love the Nested Arch dies, and used those on my card above. I also used the cloud dies from the Smile Bright die set. It's my go to when I need cloud dies. I inked them up with Sea Glass and Mandarin Spice ink, the same inks I used to ink the top of my arch die cut panel.





Lastly, I have a very ink scene for my 3rd card. This was actually the first card I shared on social media this past week.

I decided to mask my images, so could ink blend all around them.






I have a roll of wide low-tack mint tape that I used to not only mask a sloped area for my scene but also to stamp my images on mint tape for masking the stamped images on my card. This is a one layer card and I love the little challenges that come with creating a one layer card like this.






My ink blending was done with Mandarin Spice, Sauna and Clay Mask for my sky, and Spiced ink for the masked slope. Once all the ink blending was done, I pulled off the tape from the trees and the sloped area, which is where my sentiment would be stamped.






Finally, I made white paint splatters for the stars in the sky, and I splattered Copper Shimmer and some Lime Rickey Shimmer mixed with Bay Breeze near my slope (this was done before removing the tape). I wanted this to appear as foliage on the ground. I also used a dry paint brush to paint the Copper Shimmer leaves on my trees.

Purrfect Kitty Card for Scrapbookcom

Hello my crafty friends! Scrapbook.com has announced the next SBCfest, with six very talented instructors in the lineup. They were kind enough to send me the entire Instructor Bundle to create with and I'm so very thankful! Today's card was created using Jess Francisco's Instructor bundle. I also used some SBC items from my stash, and also pulled out a gorgeous paper pad from Brianna Estrella's
 Instructor Bundle. Scroll down for creative details, along with the sweet kitty that inspired this card. I'll have my full clickable supply list at the end of this post, if you'd like to browse or shop.



 (FTC Disclosure: as an affiliate for various companies in the craft industry, I will receive a small commission for purchases made through my convenient affiliate links, at no additional cost to you.) 






Below, is my friend Debra's cat, who inspired today's card. Her name is Seraphina but they generally call her Sassy Pants. When I saw the sentiment "Miss Sassy Pants" from the new Bold Hello stamp set in Jess's instructor bundle, I knew I had to use it! 

This stamp set is currently only available in Jess's instructor bundle. After SBC fest, products in the bundles will be available for individual purchase.






There are so many amazing products in each bundle, you're going to want the complete instructor bundle set! In fact, I pulled the Primrose patterned paper pad from Brianna Estrella's instructor bundle, to pair with my other stamps and dies. You can mix and match for so many things, and you'll be creating with these products for years to come! It's an incredible value!






Now, I tried my best to make my die cut cat look like Seraphina, who I believe is a siamese or siamese mix. I used Catherine Pooler inks in Cashmere (body), Icing On The Cake(body, tail, ears), Sparkling Berry (inside ears), Black Jack(nose) and On The Lake (eyes). It took some creative ink blending and the use of my mint tape in places to mask certain areas to ink blend. 

I also used a water brush to color in some places with the ink. For the eyes and nose, I swiped my ink onto white cardstock, then die cut with the small detailed dies. All the cat dies and heart dies are from the Purrfect Pair die set included in Jess's bundle.






I also used my nested SBC Stitched Zig Zag dies (the 2 largest in the set) as a frame for my centerpiece, and stenciled the inside piece, which was die cut on white cardstock, to do some stenciling with the Little Paws stencil set from Jess's bundle. This is not a brand new product and is currently available separately. 

I also added some Pops of Color in Summer Peach.





For the heart die cut, I taped two different papers together from the Primrose patterned paper pad, so that one slightly overlapped the other, then die cut them with the heart die from the Purrfect Pair die set. I really love how it turned out! This paper pad is also a new product, only available in Brianna Estrella's Instructor Bundle, and I'll have it linked in my supply list. It will be available individually after SBCfest.

Both sentiments from the Bold Hello stamp set were stamped using the Catherine Pooler Icing on the Cake ink pad, although the Sassy Pants sentiment was stamped on solid paper from the Primrose paper pad. I hand trimmed both sentiments, as they did not come with coordinating dies.

Lastly I added some additional embellishment on the cat, using a white gel pen and black fine liner pen.






I'll be honest, I'm not sure if my cat turned out to look like a siamese, because I'm also getting Pomeranian dog vibes, haha!  It is a fluffier cat die though. Even so, I'm happy with how it turned out.

Do you have any questions for me? Ask away in the comment section.

Be sure and sign up for the SBCfest Insider Newsletter here, for reminders to view SBCfest when it goes live on September 11th, 2026. It will be near the top on the right side, just scroll down a little bit to find it. You only need to add your email address.

Thanks so much for stopping by. I've provided affiliate links below, so you can grab what you want, if you wish to create along side the instructors during SBCfest or simply create as you wish. Have a great day!
