Hey friends! If you’re not signed up for the Club Sursee subscription through Catherine Pooler, YOU SHOULD BE! I love these kits!! So many fun things to be surprised by every month!! This cards’ products came from the January 2023 Club Sursee box!
When creating a rainbow background, I always start with the yellow first in the center of the card (in this case, Limoncello). Next, I’ll blend Oh Boy! along the entire bottom and blend it a little with the Limoncello. Then, I’ll blend Pucker Up on the entire top of the panel. Then, I’ll blend the very bottom of the panel with Pucker Up to create a violet color. I’ll then grab Oh Boy! again and blend the top of the panel to create a fuchsia color. Next, I’ll grab Limoncello again and blend it out into the pink and blue once more.
To create a “shadow” on the Lucky Word Die, I cut the word twice; once with white cardstock and one with black cardstock. Then, I just offset the black and glued them together! It’s an easy way to help your word dies POP!

Hey crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing a card I made using the Clovers and Blooms Stamp Set from the January 2023 Club Sursee! This stamp set is available for purchase outside of the subscription now, so you can get yours today!!
Using floral stamps that are completely solid is personally outside of my comfort zone! If you know me, I love to color in outlined images much more than using solid stamps! So, this set was a fun challenge for me! I wanted to share how I created this card with you!
First, I picked my color palette. This is (in my opinion) the make or break moment when it comes to using solid stamps. I used the Free Download Color Wheel from Catherine Pooler to help me make this decision! If you haven’t downloaded it yet, you need to! It’s a life saver!!
So, I’ve chosen Limoncello, Tiara, Pucker Up, Melon Ice, and Minted. Then, I just go crazy with stamping them! I make sure for each color, I have a large and a small option. Having too many flowers and leaves is NOT a problem. It’s better to have a full bouquet than one that looks bare!
Next, I die cut the images with the coordinating dies and then start laying them out on my card panel. This is super time consuming for me, but it’s probably not for everyone! I just move them around until I feel like it’s looking good! With this card, I’m also planning around my sentiment. When that is the case, I lay my stamp down where I think I’m going to want it so that I can visual it.
Once I get my flowers arranged how I like them, I TAKE A PHOTO with my phone! That way, I can use that as a guide for positioning them once I’ve got glue and 3D foam squares on them!
Once I take my photo, I leave my sentiment stamp where it is and place my card panel in my MISTI. I stamp my sentiment with Midnight Ink. Then, I start assembling my bouquet again, with glue and 3D foam squares! Phew! Good thing I have that photo to look back to! The last step is to add some black dots with any black marker!
Well, that wasn’t too hard! I hope you enjoyed this little tutorial!! Xx, Amanda

To create this vintage card, I cut down a panel of white cardstock to 4″x5.25″ and ink blended it using Spiced and Macchiato inks. Then, I used a distress tool to distress my edges. I spritzed water and ink over the entire panel. I also cut a heart out using the Nested Stitched Heart Dies. I ink blended it with the NEW grays! I used Pebble and Hoodie.

Once I’ve got my panel ready, I can die cut with the Scallops and Dots Dies. I’m also using the dies to cut a white scalloped panel.
I stamped my sentiment again on white and then used scissors to cut out the word “MUSIC”. I propped my die and sentiments up using my favorite 3D foam squares. I used Bearly Arts Precision Glue to adhere the panels it to my pre-scored card base,

To create the shaker portion of the card, I trimmed an acetate sheet to a teeny bit smaller than my die cut frame. I adhered the sheet to my frame using redline tape. Then, I applied 3D foam tape to create depth between the layers and hold my Big Apple Sequin Mix shakers inside.

I created this fun light-up card using the Craft with Light Kit – White by Chibitronics. I used lots of Heffy Doodle products! Keep reading on for those links!
First, I created my bright background! I blended some Catherine Pooler inks through my Zapp Attack and Cogs & Code Stencil. I used Heffy Memo Tapeto mask off the top and bottom of my card.
Once I decided where I wanted my lights, I started to prepare for the wiring.
I poked holes through the robots’ hearts where I want the bulbs to show.
Then, I placed the robots on the background where they were going to be glued down once the card is assembled. I made a mark with a pencil through the robots’ heart holes onto the background.
Then, I poked holes through the pencil marks on the background panel.
Lastly, I used a pencil to make marks on my card base where the lights need to be placed.
On my card base, using the pencil marks I made in the last step as a guide, I’ve made marks where the + and – wires need to line up. I did this by taking the lights and placing them down onto my card base so the light was right over top of the pencil mark. Then, I looked at where the copper + and – are on the light unit and drew lines where I need the wires to be lined up to touch the copper part.
I’ve also created a “housing unit” for my battery with a plus and minus sign on it, so I know which way to insert the battery once it’s time. I also marked where I want the battery to be on the card base.
Next, I started by taking my tape and cutting it in half down the center to create smaller/narrower pieces. This isn’t necessary, but was helpful with navigating the tape.
I adhered my battery housing unit to my card base and started placing my + tape. This tape is the top wire which goes to the base of the battery housing unit.
Then, I placed my – tape which starts on the flap of the battery housing unit.
Next, I used 3D foam tape around the whole base of the card to “lift” my card front up so the battery doesn’t stick out farther than the rest of front panel. I attached the stamped images with 3D foam squares, making sure to line the robots up to the lights properly.

Hey friends! How do we feel about the color purple?? I tend to lean towards the pinks and yellows for my cards, for whatever reason. However, I am loving this color combo of Sixteen Candles, Pixie Dust, and Drive-In! What do you think??
Today, I am sharing a new card using the NEWLY RELEASED Love and Lace Collection from Catherine Pooler!

Hey friends! Did you come to learn how to make this gift card holder? It’s SO easy to make! Craft along with me! Grab your scoring board and bone folder, a piece of 8.5″x11″ cardstock, some patterned paper, some stamp sets and some dies!
Start by creating your pocketfold out of 8.5″x11″ cardstock and your scoring board. On the longer edge, score at 3″ and 8″. Turn the paper 90 degrees and score the shorter edge at 2 3/8″ and 6 1/8″. Using scissors, cut your corners off completely. Fold and score on the remaining score lines. Use a corner punch to round your corners.
Now, you can decorate your pocketfold! Use patterned paper, such as the Bee Thankful Paper Pad! I also used the Ruffles and Dashes Dies to add a stitched border to my inside paper.
Don’t forget to decorate both sides!
Now, let’s make the gift card holder pocket. Using the 2nd smallest scallop frame from the Ruffles and Dashes Dies, cut out a piece of patterned cardstock. You want the inside of your pocket to be 2″ x 3.5″. Make a score line on your sides at 3/4″. Trim off the bottom so you’re left with 2 3/4″. Score the bottom so you have a 3/4″ flap. Use scissors to angle cut the 2 bottom corners.
Now create some decorations! I used the Corner Swag Stamp Set and the Thank You Kindle Stamp Set. I used OLO markers to color in my stamped images and a Gelly Roll pen to create my highlights. I cut out the stamped images with the coordinating die sets.
To hold my pocketfold together, I punched 2 holes on the front flap and the bottom flap and threaded through some Torch Twine.
Stay tuned as I continue to share more projects made using this New Collection!

To create this fun card, I blended Twilight and Blackjack Inks and then spritzed the background with water. Next, I stamped my chalkboard menu from the Coffee Shop Stamp Set with WOW! Clear Glue ink.
