Ice Cream Cards for Catherine Pooler Designs

The new Better With Sprinkles collection from Catherine Pooler Designs is now live! I love, love, love making ice cream cards so I was super excited for this release. It's perfect for summer cardmaking! Let me also say, I truly believe that cards can tell stories and I definitely had a story in mind for this first card. Want to hear it? Alrighty then! So here it is...it's my bestie's birthday and it's my treat. We're headed to Payne's Soda Fountain in Scottsboro, AL. It's a gorgeous summer day, the skies are so blue and we've got a window seat. And of course, sprinkles! Payne's Soda Fountain is a real place. A retro old fashioned diner that's been there for years and has so much incredible nostalgia. Our family went there last summer to visit. Highly recommend if you're ever passing through!

Now, let's get on with it. Scroll down for creative details. I'll have a clickable supply list at the end, as well!

But first, Boardwalk ink makes it's debut, as well as a new Shimmer called Oh Boy. The card above features the new Shimmer, and Boardwalk ink makes an appearance on my second card further down.

If you follow me on Instagram, maybe you caught my ink smooshed panel in my stories that features the Oh Boy Shimmer. I did my smooshing on white mixed media cardstock and when you move and turn the panel, you can see such gorgeous shine.

I ended up using a portion of that card panel for this card. But what I'm really excited about is the Birthday One Liner stamp set! My first thought, when I received that stamp set, was to create a frame of sentiments to offset my center focal piece. I absolutely love how it turned out. I was also thinking of my bestie the entire time I worked on this card!

A stamp positioner is key in creating this sentiment framing. I kept picking and choosing various sentiments that would line up and look fairly even all the way around. 

This card only features 3 colors as I was going for a minimal contrast of colors. I used Icing on the Cake ink for my stamped images, sentiments and also for the stenciling with the Check This Layered stencil set.

For that pop of pink cherry, I used Party Dress ink with some white gel pen embellishment.

I also trimmed some of my CPD Over Coffee cardstock as the backing to my sentiment panel and also as the backing for my ink smooshed trimmed panel. I also dredged Icing on the Cake ink across all edges of my stenciled check border.

Last but not least, I did some watercoloring on my stamped ice cream dish with more Icing on the Cake ink and a waterbrush.

The full dimension of this card is 4.50 x 5.50 inches.

 

Both of my cards feature the Another Trip Around The Sun-dae stamp set, but my card above also features the coordinating dies.

When I created this card, I did not have the new patterned papers included in the Better With Sprinkles collection, so I went through my stash of CPD paper collections and came across this pretty striped paper from the Arnold's Drive-In paper pack. Alas, I'm not finding it on the site so it must be retired. 

I simply trimmed that patterned paper at various angles. You could recreate something similar using the CPD Shea Butter cardstock which is available separately and also in the Spa Cardstock collection.

I also trimmed some green and blue cardstock from my Party Cardstock collection and adhered all my papers on top of a white top fold card.

Next, I swiped some Boardwalk ink on white cardstock and stamped the ice cream images directly on white cardstock using these inks:

Icing On The Cake, Honeycomb and Pistachio 

I used the Around the Loop Nesting dies to die cut some ovals for both my stamped ice cream and a larger die cut for my swiped Boardwalk ink.

The finishing touches are a stamped sentiment using Cargo ink, and lots of enamel dots from the blues and oranges collections. I went with the lightest colors from those sets, as I was going for an overall pastel feel for this card.

And that's a wrap folks! I'll have another card to share with you very soon. Tap any of the product links below for more information, or to simply browse or shop. Let me know if you have any questions, in the comment section.

Thanks so much, have a fantastic day!

Terri

Card Trio for OLO Marker plus NEWS!

Hello friends, I'm so happy to help share some exciting news for OLO Marker. This has been many, many months in the making. Everyone has been asking for fine tip nib markers and OLO Marker has been working hard to bring this product line to life. Yes! This will work like a kickstarter campaign and the fine tip nib markers will have a home of their own, not available on the OLO Marker website.

Scroll down for all the details on my card trio, plus information on production for these new markers.

 (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.) 

I'm no expert on all the in's and out's of a kickstarter program. But, this campaign will take pre-orders. Initially, the fine tip nib markers will only be available in 3 different sets for this campaign goal of pre-orders:

64, 128 and 256 color sets. Tap here to see the colors available in each set and to pre-order. Get all the FAQ's here.

(Pictured below, 64 color set)

Eventually, individual markers will be available but it will be some time before that happens.

OLO Marker kindly sent me some of their fine tip nib markers to try out. As a colorist, it can be challenging to color small details with a brush marker. With the new fine tip nib markers, you don't have to worry about coloring outside the lines!

I used two of the fine tip nib markers to color the tiny details. For the leaves, I used BG2.7 and for some of the tiny blooms, I used BV1.2

The remaining coloring was done with OLO brush markers in these colors:

OR1.3, OR1.6, OR4.4, B2.2

I also used a white gel pen for highlight accents and added paint splatters to my background.

The paper circle die cuts were created using papers from my Joyful paper pad from Scrapbookcom as well as a sentiment from one of their stamp sets called "Thanks Friend". My butterfly was from a retired Gina K Designs stamp set called "Blooming Butterfly".

Thanks so much for stopping by. Head over to the OLO Marker Fine Tip Nib website and have a look around! Thanks so much for stopping by!

Stenciled Spring Card for Scrapbook.com and the Creative Kindness Foundation

Hello crafty friends. I'm back to showcase another card for Scrapbook.com and the Creative Kindness Foundation fundraiser event. The goal for this fundraiser is $75,000 and as of this writing, it currently sits just over $29,000. There's only 5 days left to help them reach their goal. In exchange for your $50 or more donation, you will received the Spring Flutter Donation Bundle, pictured further down.

I'm getting super colorful today with the stencil included in the donation bundle, paired with the random colored cardstock included in the kit, Summer Peach. Scroll down for creative details. I'll have a clickable supply list at the end, if you see something you'd like for yourself!

 (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.) 

Here's what you will receive in the Spring Flutter donation bundle with your $50 or more donation:

Random selected cardstock pack

A5 Stamp Set

Coordinating die set

5x5 inch stencil

6x4 inch embossing folder

I started by trimming a piece of white cardstock measuring 4.25 x 8.50 inches, as I planned to stencil both ends of the cardstock. You can quickly and easily stencil one, so why not two?

In fact, I stenciled a total of 5 to have extras on hand for when I need to make a quick card!

I stamped my sentiment using my stamp positioner. I wanted to create a one layer flat card and incorporate my sentiment seamlessly into the stenciled images.

To do this, place low tack tape over your stamped sentiment. After stenciling over my first card panel, I realized I needed a wider border, so I placed a wider strip over the next stamped sentiment, which is the card you see in the first photo. 

Next, I lined up my stencil and centered it over my masked sentiment, taping it down. I used lots of pretty Catherine Pooler Designs ink with my blender brushers, over the stencil in random sections of color. 

The colors I used are:

Coral Cabana

Aquatini

Sweetheart

Orange Twist

Tiara

Lime Rickey

As you can see, for the card above, I had a little more room to work with, drawing a border around my sentiment with a ruler and fine black liner pen.

I also placed a lot of ink splatters using the Scrapbookcom Lustre brush in the color Pacific. I shared a reel over on my Instagram with tips on how to do this, and place the larger ink dots as well.

I wanted some extra color for my card panel backing, so in addition to the Peach cardstock included in my donation kit, I picked two pretty pink colors from my Scrapbookcom A2 Classic Cardstock - Valentine and Berry.

I trimmed it so the pink peeked out just above and below my stenciled card panel. I love the extra pop of color behind the stenciling, it really helps things pop!

Speaking of Pop, I did some embellishing with my Pops of Color liquid embellishments. I used Sunflower for my primary card above. You can see where I used Orange Squeeze as well, on the finished card panel on the lower right. I also used a white gel pen to embellish some of the other elements on my card.

I had so much fun stenciling and so glad to have some extras ready in my stash. Thanks so much for stopping by. Tap any of the products in my clickable supply list to browse for more information or to shop. Thanks so much and have a fantastic day!
