What is Boba?

CatherineGeneral 2 Comments

Our newest collection, Bubbling Over, celebrates time with friends and family celebrating and enjoying life over a wonderful beverage. Maybe it's a bottle of bubbly, a coffee drink, a smoothie or a boba…you'll be able to create fun cards with this great theme.

You may be wondering what is Boba, anyway?

Boba was created in Taiwan and is made from tapioca starch and often times called Tapioca Pearls or bubbles. Over the past few decades, Boba shops have popped up all over the US and has become wildly popular! When you go into a Boba or Bubble Tea shop, you may be amazed and even overwhelmed by the options! You’ll find an incredible array of options in these fun shops; milk tea, fruit tea, smoothies, coffee, cheese foam tea, milk cap, matcha, yogurt…all with or without the boba! You can even have bits of fruit or poppin' jellies in your drink! (poppin' jellies are my personal fav!)

I was first introduced to boba by my daughters last year and at first I didn't really care for the sweet, chewy bubbles at the bottom of my drink! But on my second trip for boba, I found that I have a fondness for these specialty drinks. Going for boba has become a special treat and a great way to have special time with the girls. They always say if you want your kid to talk, take them for a drive…I just take them for boba!

My favorite is a frozen fruit drink with boba and poppin' jellies, Eva loves strawberry matcha, Anna is down for matcha and Alana goes for a brown sugar milk tea.

Even if you don't like those chewy, sweet tapioca pearls, there are so many options at these fun shops, you're bound to find something you like!

With our new Boba With My Best-Tea Stamp Set, you can personalize your hand made cards with the recipients favorite treats!

These fun products hit the shop on Wednesday, December 8. Stay tuned to the blog for all the reveals over the next few days.

Bubbling Over Collection: Best-tea Bundle

CatherineGeneral 1 Comment

We are bubbling over with excitement for our new collection hitting the shop on December 6th! It all started from the joy I get these days chatting with my three girls over a cold boba tea creation.

Monochromatic Stamping with Gingerbread Ink …and more ideas featuring October Club Sursee!

CatherineGeneral Leave a Comment

Our Newest Brown Neutral to hit the scene this year is Gingerbread! Can you just smell the ginger and cinnamon? Gingerbread Ink was included in our Baking Spirits Bright box but is now in the shop along with all our new and updated swatching products. Let's take a look at this gorgeous color!

The more I make monochromatic cards, the more I love them! With the release of Gingerbread Ink, our line of Browns just keeps getting better. See how they work together in this fun video! We'll use various stamping techniques and even work in metallics (which will be restocked by the end of November!)

See how I created this card in this Youtube Video.

Ilina Crouse

My card was inspired by this one by Ilina. Simple and clean with a pop of green!

Simple geometric shapes and a fun sentiment make for a stunning card in monochromatic browns!

Ilina Crouse

Here are more with Arabesque Pieces. I love this beautiful Spa Ink color combo Ilina picked.

Ilina Crouse

The Quilted Birds and Arabesque Pieces were part of our October Club Sursee shipment but are now available in the shop for individual purchase. This flock of birds card is just perfection!

Head over to the shop to get your Gingerbread Ink Pad, Refill and Mini and check out all the new products. This pairing will be great for cards year round and for all occasions!

Club Sursee It’s Sweater Weather!

CatherineGeneral Leave a Comment

As the seasons are changing here in Raleigh, it's finally starting to get a bit of chill in the air. Any signs of cold mean we immediately dig out all of our favorite cozy sweaters!! It's sweater weather! To go along with this excitement, the November Club Sursee is right on time!

The Winter Vibes Stamp Set is going to be one I grab over and over, year after year. I selectively inked up the hat, sweater and mittens to get this fun multi-colored look in Terracotta, Apricot and Buttercream. I pulled my colors from the Vintage Garden Paper pack I had in my stash. Super cute!

One Spa and how about one Party version! This one is a bit more of a Christmas vibe with the greens and reds. I added a piece of In The Park Prints Patterned Paper in plaid which is just so perfect. Deluxe Sursee members will get the coordinating Winter Vibes Dies which allows for easy arrangements.

Erika made this one and was inspired by me inking up the mittens die cutting and arranging in a grid. She used a bunch of Party Inks and selective inking to do the little beenie hats. She pulled in the Holiday One Liners with this funny sentiment.

Club Sursee is designed to really mix and match with other CP products you have in your stash. Here Erika created a card with some die and cover plate classics and embellished with the mugs in the Winter Vibes Stamp Set and used holly from the second stamp set in November Sursee, Joy & Love Stamp Set.

How about a stack of holiday hot drinks? This one stamp set sparked SO many ideas! Just wait until you see what else in will come in the purple envelope. Deluxe Members will get the two stamp sets and coordinating dies to create stacks and stacks of winter cards. Have you signed up yet?

Sign up by November 14th @ 11:59pm to get these goodies in your mailbox!

Christmas Cards featuring the Let Us Adore Him Bundle

CatherineGeneral 1 Comment

Our nativity-themed stamp set, Let Us Adore Him is a beautiful silhouette stamp set with sentiments straight from some of our favorite Christmas songs. Add complimentary products like the Holy Branches Cover Plate and Hot Foil products to add sparkle and shine.

The Let Us Adore Him Stamp Set offers beautiful nativity silhouettes which become the start of the card when stamped in a solid color or heat embossed. In this card, Joseph and Mary are stamped in On the Lake Ink and Oh Holy Night is stamped in Juniper Mist.

Use the Juniper Mist Ink Pad to color the card base, then add the Holy Branches Cover Plate over it. I love how the dots become Juniper Mist with that layer behind!

There's a special kind of love in my heart for using Copic Markers to color on Cover Plates! Once you start, it's kind of addictive, so proceed with caution, my friends! See the replay of this Facebook Live Stream where I created this card.

This card features the wise men stamp. I used the direct to paper method to create Tranquil card stock and then stamped the Star of David with On the Lake to make a patterned background. A few layers and a circle for the sentiment and this simple layout is perfect.

Using the Let Us Adore Him Hot Foil Plates and dies, I was able to foil the manger image and sentiment for this simple card. The ink blended background and splatter of metallic watercolors elevates the card and gives it a beautiful wintery look. I created this card in this live stream replay on Youtube.

Warm & Bright – 3 Ways with Pops of Metallic

CatherineGeneral

Our new Metallic inks in Silver, Gold and Champagne hit the shop last week and sold out in two days! We are thrilled that you all are as excited to add the shimmer and shine to your card making projects as we are!

If you missed out, we will have them back in stock as soon as we are able. We are working with our manufacturer now on a ship date. Sign up for email notification on the product pages so you'll be the first to know when they hit the door!

The lanterns from the new Warm & Bright Stamp Set are perfect for stamping with our new metallic inks!

Here I used the Metallic Champagne Ink to stamp the lantern and the sentiment. I love how these really pop against the black background. What a show-stopper.

Sometimes, you just need a pop of a little something extra. Here I used the Gold Metallic on the flames, berries and one holly leaf. These pops of shine really take this card up a notch and look great in the light!

If you want to go all out, try inking a frame with the direct to paper method or an ink blending brush. This card only uses the three Metallics in Gold, Silver and Champagne, and it is stunning!

Head over to the shop to check out these products and sign up for notifications if we're out of stock!
