Catherine Pooler has just released her Crush on You collection, like today released it! I do get to pre-order with her, so that's how I already have most of the supplies from that release.
Oh, and Susan, you are so wrong…
Susan told me on Facebook that the only reason I make cards is because companies are constantly sending me free products and that I only use what they send me and I have to say I like it.
Yeah, so Susan, just so that you know, that's not the world I live in.
I bought this entire collection with my very own money, thank you very much!
The reason I bought the whole thing is that even though the theme is love, you might think the entire collection is based on Valentine's day, but it's not – it's FULL of sentiments. There is only ONE sentiment that says Valentine's day, so it gave me a great sentiment refresh that was desperately missing from my stamp shelf.
It's bright, cheerful, a touch of whimsy, and fun!
I love that Catherine Pooler Designs releases an “I Want It All Bundle”, it's at a discount and so it's an easy button for ordering! There isn't a single thing that I won't use in that collection and 99.9% of it I can use year round.
The
This “I Want It All Bundle” includes all the following bundles with the individual items in it:
Love Puns Bundle:
- Love Puns Stamp Set & Dies
- Love Stack Layered Stencils
Crush Bundle:
- Crush on you Stamp Set & Dies
- Queen of Hearts Cover Plate Die
- Sweet Saying Word Dies
More Amor Bundle::
- More Amor Sentiments Stamp Set & Dies
- Stack of Hearts Dies
- Heartbreaker Patterned Paper
- Kissimmee Sequin Mix
So 3 stamps and die bundles, one layered stencils set, a cover plate die, patterned paper, 2 other sets of dies, and the sequin mix AND for orders over $50, you can also get a bonus die too!
All of this for less than $200!!! Seriously, with other retailers, this would be closer to $350, easily!
Wait, Didn't You Say Something About a Book?
Yes, I sure did! Yesterday I shared that not only have I written an e-book, but that my publisher put it on sale right now for us until Thursday, Dec 11th.
You can buy the e-book or the physical copy of Card Sketches With a Twist here. The discount is only on the e-book.
Tomorrow I will share the whole tale on why the book exists, but the summation is that I use the book myself all the time.
Today's project is straight from the book, Sketch 2! Since I have my book, I knew the type of supplies I would need and I couldn't wait to use the fan image from the Love Puns stamp set or that amazing Queen of Hearts Cover Die!
I saved myself so much time using my own e-book without shorting myself a single bit of creative joy!
And that's how this card was born! How fun is this card?
See what I mean, that doesn't say Valentine's day on it! I can use both stamp set and cover die year round!
I'm not sure in the main picture that you can see the dry embossed XOXO that's on the straight sections of the cover die, so I think you can see it more here in the lower left section of the photo.
How unique is this cover plate die? I love it!
The Supplies
As I said, this entire card started with my e-book. I knew the stamp I wanted to use, flipped through the book, picked a layout to go with and went to town!
Then I used the supplies below, I listed the full I Want It All bundle and the smaller bundles in each, but all items are also available individually. If you want to buy them individually, you can shop them here at https://iteachstamping.com/cp.
And now I'm guessing you want to see the video that I made for you.
Thank You!
Thank you for being here today and for reading all the way to the end! I hope you love the new Catherine Pooler Designs release as much as I do and I hope you are ready to get your own copy of my first e-book!
Cheers to all the card making goodness! XOXO, Meg
