It's time for a Big Splash Release with Catherine Pooler Designs! I've been waiting this arrival for a while now, keeping it a secret has been so hard!
But starting today, you can get your hands on these fun new products!
From pool shaker card dies to a fun cover plate die, stamps and sequins, this has it all!
What I love about her releases is that you can get it all in one large bundle or you can get smaller bundles, or you can buy the items individually.
OH – and I failed to mention that there are TWO NEW INK COLORS! And y'all have to know that I am a sucker for new inks. Serious sucker for each and every one of hers. If I ever think I have enough, then I just sit back and laugh and laugh – knowing darn well that I have to have the new ones.
The I Want It All Bundle includes the ink pads (full size and mini) PLUS the re-inkers, 5 sets of dies, 3 stamps sets, patterned paper, set of layered stencils AND sequins! At a bundled discount price ❤️
With this launch, there are also two versions of the patterned paper – one that's 12×12 and one that's 6×6 – most of the patterns are the same, but there is a slight difference between the two. The big bundle has the 12×12 paper, which gives you more!
I've been sharing these projects on social media, but I am putting most of the cards I have made so far all here in this post.
What I love most with these items is that you can make super involved cards, like shaker cards – or you can make clean and simple cards. With some company's releases, you are kinda limited to one or the other, but these items allow you to make the type of card you want when you want to make it!

Ready to See My Cards?
Here's what I have made so far with these goodies. I still haven't gotten the Balloon Letter Birthday Cover Plate Die, but that's on my wish list!
Card #1: This card features the 6″ x 6″ paper, Big Splash, along with the Swim Sip Repeat Stamps, the Saint Tropez Sequin Mix, and her Polka Dot Cover Plate die. Most of these items are in the I Want it All Bundle but also in the Have a Ball Bundle.
Card #2: This is such a fun shaker card unlike one I have ever seen before! It uses the Take A Dip Shaker Dies, the Swim Sip Repeat Stamps and Dies, the Big Splash 6″ x 6″ Paper, and the Saint Tropez Sequin Mix.
Card #3: This card uses the fun Swim Sip Repeat Stamps and I threw in the sentiment from the last release, Sweet as Honey stamp set.
Card #4: This card has a fun take on it with the Swim Sip Repeat Stamps and Dies and the Big Splash 6″ x 6″ Paper. For the circle die, I used the This Way Round dies from her that I love!
Card #5: Ice cream is always good for summertime! This clean and simple card features the new Pistachio and Sweetheart ink pads that are a part of this release. I also added in some Sand Castle ink for my neutral. And do you see that background? That beauty is from her Woven Cover Plate Die.
And that's what I have so far!
If you are feeling overwhelmed by the amount of products used on these cards, here's my recommendation:
- Start with a bundle, either the I Want It All Bundle or pick 1or 2 of the smaller bundles.
- Get the new inks – because new ink is heaven on earth
- Try something you haven't tried before – like the pool shaker card dies and sequins. It's been years since I have made a shaker card and it was so much fun!
And if you have questions, that's what I'm here for. As I say in Stamping Family, if I don't know the answer, I'll make some thing up, lol! Of course, they know that I say that in jest, I will find the answer if I don't know it!
I'm Curious!!!
What's your favorite thing from this new release? Leave it in the comments below! We have a lot of new to play with and I can't wait to see what you create with it all!
The best way to share your cards is in your Stamping Family gallery. If you aren't in Stamping Family, why wait? We are a fun group of stampers that I not only get to lead but also get to be a participating member of. If you want to stamp with me, this is the place for you! If the doors aren't open (we only take on new members a few times a year) get on the waitlist! You can do that here.
Each member has their own gallery where they can add their cards and other members can see and love on them. Between that, our Zooms, and our other videos, we simply have fun and love on each other!
Okay, get your supplies ordered while they are all still in stock. Get on the Stamping Family waitlist if registration isn't open, and leave a comment on what your favorite items are.
More Soon! XOXO, Meg
