Holiday Projects featuring Sizzix and Catherine Pooler for Scrapbook.com

Hello friends, I'm so excited to share some projects today for Scrapbook.com, featuring brand new products from Catherine Pooler for Sizzix! I was thrilled that Scrapbookcom kindly sent me these items to create with and I'll share details on each one below. I've created two cards and an ornament! I'll also have clickable affiliate shopping links throughout this post and also at the end.

I have really fallen in love with layered stencils. They're so easy to work with and the color combinations are endless. The card above features the Folk Tree stencil set. I used a variety of Catherine Pooler Inks which are water based. All you have to do is rinse the stencils when done inking. No soap required!

The CP Inks I used are:

Cranberry Fizz

Green Tea

Eucalyptus

Macchiato

Where you see white on the blooms, I opted to stencil in some white paint.

Next, I selected a sentiment from the stamp set called Greetings Of The Season. I stamped with Cranberry Fizz, using my stamp positioner and also hand trimmed my stamped sentiment, plus a coordinated backing for it. It's popped up on Scrapbookcom adhesive strips to give some dimension.

I also pulled some papers from my Scrapbookcom Noel patterned paper pad that complemented my inks, to create some faux photo corners for my panel.

I stacked several trimmed sections of paper and cut them stacked, to get even corners all around. This is such a gorgeous image, you really don't need to add a ton of embellishment.

Next up is an ornament that I created using the Hanging Ornament Box Thinlets Dies. This set also includes the snowflake and holly/berry dies.

I used more CP inks for my holly and berries, I began by swiping CP Bay Breeze ink across some cardstock, then created my die cuts with the inked cardstock, using my Platinum . I did the same for the berries, using Cranberry Fizz ink, then glued the tiny berries onto my holly. I also added lots of white paint splatters for "snow".

Once again, I opted to use a sentiment from the Greetings of the Season stamp set. I LOVE this set because there are soooo many sentiments! There are 13 stamps in this set, you need it, I'm telling you!

I did some masking when stamping this sentiment because I just wanted one line across the bottom of my boxed ornament. The full sentiment actually says, " 'tis the season to be jolly". Again, I stamped with Cranberry Fizz ink because I absolutely love it for Christmas cardmaking. It's the perfect color of red in my opinion. I also did some ink blending along the bottom edge of my sentiment, again using the Bay Breeze ink. This sentiment was also hand trimmed and popped up on adhesive strips.

For my snowflake, I added some tiny dots of Scrapbookcom Pops of Color in Snowflake, although it's hard to see in the photo above.

Under the snowflake is a shaped thinlet die cut that was also ink blended in the center with Bay Breeze ink, before propping my Snowflake on top. 

I have two different box shaped panels on the inside, with the bottom panel created using the same paper as my box. Both panels are popped up on double adhesive strips.

My patterned paper, by the way, is from the 6x8 inch Peppermint paper pad.

Lastly, I wanted to create a colorful snowflake card, as pictured below. I used the White Christmas Framelits dies and the White Christmas stamp set.

Some of my images are stamped directly onto my A2 card panel, randomly. Some were also inked in multiple colors. For my snowflake die cuts, I again swiped my ink colors onto card stock and created die cuts from the inked paper. 

The CP ink colors used were:

Drive-In

Serenade

Pucker Up

I also did some generation stamping. If you're not familiar with this technique, you stamp with ink, then stamp another image without reinking, for a faded appearance in color.

For the blurred look at the bottom of my sentiment, I did some misting with water over the ink on my stamp. I did cover the upper portion of my stamped image to protect the inking, with tape.

I again hand trimmed my sentiment, following the curves of the lettering, and popped it up on adhesive strips.

There's a tiny little dot stamp included in the White Christmas stamp set. I used to create some colorful "snow" on my card.

I had such a fun, creative time making these inspirational projects. If you'd like to shop for any of these products, just click the convenient affiliate links that I've provided.
