CPD-Date Night ink Party/ Hey There Dumpling

I had this Slimline die set from CPD on my desk for weeks and I FINALLY put them to work. I have the started with the Essential Slimline dies. I cut my base layers and set them aside. Then I got started with one of my favorite ink techniques with the Catherine Pooler Inks....ink blending!

         

I used a piece of CPD Premium White card stock and blended on 3 of the new Date Night ink Colors: Do si do, Cummerbund, and In The Park. Once the panel was dry, I spritzed on a little clean water. I let that dry and then stamped out some fortune cookie and dumpling images from Hey There Dumpling.  I stamped the sentiment and a few of the teeny tiny hearts in Midnight ink. 

I then used the heart dies from the Essential Slimline dies to fill the top and bottom openings on the 

Here is the top of the card. I love how the black hearts help balance out the card and fill in the white space.

That's it from me. Be sure to pop over to Insta and follow me there, @lisahenke. I have more info on the GIVEAWAY! 

Have a great rest of the week!

I tried to pick a favorite color combo to work with on this card and well, you'll see....I used  A LOT of the colors. This adorable new sushi set, Hey There Dumpling, was the perfect way to showcase so many of the new inks. 

The colors I used are: Pucker Up, Do Si Do, In the Park, Catching Rays, Chiffon, Serenade, and Cummerbund. 

I tied on some twine and lined the panel with some black card stock and my card was complete. This set will make the perfect Valentine's Day cards for my crew that loves sushi. 

Check back, I have another card later this week showcasing more of these fabulous new ink colors. 

Catherine Pooler Retro Winter/ Guest Designer

So, I have been holding on to a little secret. I am so excited to share that I am a Guest Designer for the new Catherine Pooler Retro Winter Release. I just adore this release and the new colors of ink....swoon!!! 

Today you can purchase all of the new products HERE! 

I got to play with the Happy Buddies stamp set and dies, along with the papers and inks. OMG....talk about cuteness overload.

My first card shows the darling deer from the set Happy Buddies (there are three critters and some other fun elements included). I colored him up with copics and added a banner and decided on the holidays sentiment from the set stamped in Sangria. I used the matching Happy Buddies dies to cut out the images.

I couldn't resist blending on some of the gorgeous new Hot Tub ink. It's perfect for sky and snowy backgrounds. I splattered on some white ink and added a scattering of the new Sequin pack, Cincinnati Mix. I mean, come on. How could I not love it....it's named after my city.  

I grounded the cutie with some strips of fun paper designs from the new 6x6 Feeling Chilly paper pack. I just can't get enough of the color combo in this pack. It's awesome. 

My next card I wanted to show off another set of the Happy Buddies. Yep, I had to use the deer again, but I paired him up with the sweet lil' bear.  They are holding the Happy banner and I stamped the "everything" sentiment along the bottom. The matching Happpy Buddies Dies make it easy to cut all the bits out. 

I used all four of the new ink colors from the Spa Collection Inks  to give a festive confetti look to the background and tucked in some Cincinnati Mix sequins again. I also layered the stamped panel over a combo of the new Feeling Chilly papers. The patterns all mix and match perfectly. 

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out my Insta page and stories (@lisahenke) for more looks at the projects  I created.
