Hi everyone! Happy Monday! I hope you had a fun weekend! I got in lots of crafty time and relaxation. Not too much going on around here actually. The weather has been amazing lately. I'm looking forward to a good week. Getting my hair done and meeting up with some friends...Tuesdays Together Meetup, Crocheting... Good stuff. Thanks for stopping by today! Hope you have an awesome week!
For today's post I'm featuring the brand new, gorgeous, Hello Sunshine Collection from Catherine Pooler Designs! I was sent this awesome collection as part of my design work for Scrapbook.com. I'm new to Catherine Pooler products and I can honestly say everything was wonderful! (I did an unboxing video you can find over on my Instagram Stories). The patterned paper is GORGEOUS and thick! Wow, so unusual to see cardstock weight patterned paper in 6x6 size. Love that. The stamps were perfect and crisp right out of the package and the dies cut a nice edge. I would definitely recommend these products. Maybe you will check them out too! I'm looking forward to trying out other collections.
I made a fun, colorful, summer card! This card makes me smile. Lots of ice cream colors and lots of layers...and ICE CREAM! The finished card is A2 size and a white card base.
The focus of my card is that adorable ice cream truck image! It's really cute and so fun to color. You could make it so many different color combinations! I chose Copic shades to match the colors in the plaid paper. My layers here are: White card base, dark pink printed paper, plaid paper, vellum, white stitched rectangle, and green paper stitched circle. Whew. Yes, I love me some layers!
I stamped the sentiment onto a stitched rounded rectangle and used the Catherine Pooler Inks for all the stamping. I used a few pretty pink sequins as accents.
I thought you might want to see what the sequin mix looks like! It's sooooo pretty! I can't wait to make a shaker card with it!
I stamped a second ice cream truck and then cut out a second ice cream cone and a second awning. I put them over the other ones for dimension. This is a fun trick I use a lot - selective dimension is what I call it.
Stay cool my friends!!

I haven't tried anything from the Catherine Pooler line either. These products are definitely drawing me in though. Your card is so sweet.

Boy this is too sweet Wanda. Brings back some memories of the neighborhood truck of my youth. I am not familiar with Catherine Pooler. I see many speak to the inks. What do you think of it? I do adore the plaid paper, so I better do some checking, huh. Happy Week girlfriend.
