A Review of Catherine Pooler Inks

By on September 13, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Did you know that you can do so many things with Catherine Pooler Inks? You can stamp, of course, but you can also do some ink blending and watercoloring with them!

Today I have a fun fall project with the new Catherine Pooler ink, Coral Cabana, that came in the September Hedgehog Hollow subscription box.

First, I took that ink and a few other ink colors and blended them on Bristol Smooth paper using a round ink blending tool.

These inks blend beautifully on this Bristol Smooth paper!

Once I had that background blended, I stamped and gold embossed the florals from the HH Subscription box and used these inks to WATERCOLOR on them!

I also used the same Bristol Smooth paper for this. I also used some Zig Clean color markers to color up the green leaves. I wanted this to feel like a FALL card, so I picked my interpretation of fall colors for this card.

Then I cut a banner shape from my stash, ink blended on that banner, and STAMPED the sentiment using the Coral Cabana ink.

And Voila! A beautiful card using three methods with the very same inks! If you haven’t tried these inks, I would definitely recommend them!

I popped up the banner and one of the florals with Scotch 3M foam tape, and used my Nuvo liquid adhesive to attach the rest. To finish it off, I added Jewel Nuvo drops (these are translucent with a hint of color…which I love)!

I hope I inspired you give all three methods a try with your inks: stamping, watercoloring, and ink blending. Enjoy!

Bloom Where you are Planted

By on August 30, 2018 in Paper Crafting

Hello friends! Today I’m sharing a card that is a bit of a SNEAK PEEK! This card uses products from the September Hedgehog Hollow box…and let me tell you: they are beautiful!

I’m using just two of the stamp sets from the box today (there are three stamp sets included in this box, along with some other fun goodies…see my unboxing video below for all the details!)

Here I colored up one of the blooms with Copic markers in my favorite color obsession right now: Coral. I was actually inspired by the Catherine Pooler ink that comes in the box for this one.

Look at those beautiful blooms! And I absolutely adore the large Bloom sentiment. Here I have embossed it with my favorite Mirror Gold embossing powder. Here’s a better look at that gold:

I used some paper from my stash for the background. Then I popped up the white sentiment panels AND the flowers on 3M foam tape for some dimension. I added some clear droplets to finish it all off, and some dots with white and black gel pens on the flowers.

Here’s a close up of the details on the floral spray:

It is a fun set and I’m excited to create more with the awesome background stamps that are just the right fit for these flowers.
