catherine pooler greenery of the season
Are you looking for a beautiful & versatile greenery set for your holiday cardmaking? Have you seen the Catherine Pooler Designs Greenery of the Season set? It's gorgeous and I've been having so much fun creating with it!
The stamp set comes with so many classic holiday images like a poinsettia, holly, evergreen branches and more! And it has the outline designs and the solid images too which I really love because it doubles the stamping techniques you can use! There's a coordinating die and stencil too!
For this card I masked a section at the top of my card panel and used a blending brush to add Cotton Candy pink.For this card I kept things super simple! All the color comes from an ink blended square in the middle (Cotton Candy & Rockin' Red) and then I stamped the poinsettias and sentiment in black.

all about apple cards + ppp blog hop day 3
Pretty Pink Posh is ready for fall crafting with their gorgeous new release! And I'm thrilled to joining day 3 of the blog hop to share ideas with you!!!
Before I show you what I made, there's more fun! There are 3 $30 gift certificates to Pretty Pink Posh up for grabs! Enter to win by leaving comments along the hop by 11:59pm PST of September 16th, 2024. The winners will be announced on the PPP blog.
Now let's talk cards! You are about to see that I'm a little obsessed with apples this fall, LOL!
I used the largest die from the Patterned Apple set to cut a shaker window. You know I love a shaker!!!The background is Distress Oxide Festive Berries with a little DIY glitter paste over it (Glossy Accents mixed with glitter).
And the shaker bits are the adorable Apple Harvest confetti!
I love the effects you can create with solid stamps! For these apples I inked and stamped with Distress Oxide Tattered Rose first. Then I used a blending tool to apply some Distress Oxide Saltwater Taffy, Festive Berries & Lumberjack Plaid ink to parts of the stamp and then stamped again.
And I'm a little obsessed with the PPP train sets so I had to make an apple train!
I stamped, die cut and colored the cars from the Valentine Train and Halloween Train. Also the large apple from the Patterned Apple set and the bunch of apples from the Fall Harvest set.
I stamped the train tracks across the card front with a bit of a curve. I also stamped the train links directly on the card front before adding the train cars with foam tape.
Your next stop on the hop is Dana's blog and I know she is going to have some eye candy for us!!!
And here's the whole list if you need it...

Ok, now let me show you what I've made...
This might be one of my favorite cards I've made in a long time! I used the positive & negative cuts of the Oh La La Butterflies and I just love how striking a simple die can be!First I ink blended my card front and a scrap of cardstock with Distress Oxide Picked Raspberry and Carved Pumpkin. Then I used some Distress Spritz Picked Raspberry over the ink blending. I just love the shimmer!
Next I die cut the Oh La La Butterflies from a card panel, stamped it with "just breathe" from the Peaceful Trees set and added a little faux black splatter with a pen.
On top of the folded ink blended card, I built a shaker container with foam tape and filled it with my favorite Soapy Bubbles sequins and closed it with acetate.
Finally I die cut more butterflies from the scrap of ink blended cardstock, folded them in the middle for a little texture and adhered them to the card. Perhaps not a super easy to mail card but I love how it turned out!
Thanks so much for stopping by! Hope to see you again soon!
