We are going back to basics this week for the new Catherine Pooler Designs, Foundations release. This box is perfect for any stamper, but especially for brand new stampers, because it includes everything you need to get started. Stamps for just about every occasion that can be mixed and matched with ease, plus high quality bright white (pre-scored) paper, an innovative round clear block design with finger grips and INK! Yes, you read that right, Catherine has come out with her own line of ink, and you know this is going to be perfection!
When I sat down to create the required 3 cards I overshot my mark and created 9+ the first day. Usually I struggle with one layer cards and clean & simple design, but not this time. The ideas were flowing and I felt like I only scratched the surface of the potential of this collection.
Catherine asked us to make a couple of one layer cards and then 1 card that was stepped up just a little. Here is my stepped up version of the card above.
Video below shows how I made my first 2 cards.

Later this week I will have a video for my 3rd card. (I'm shooting for Friday, if you want to come back here.) I thought this one was super fun. When Catherine was asking me what I wanted in a little set I said, an envelope with a heart on it or a heart option. She delivered!

Great cards. Thanks for reminding me to make my own background papers (envelope card). Love the shadow with the sentiment.
Heather, that multi-coloured envelope card is THE BOMB! Soooo cute (and perfectly executed, as well). I really liked your super-CAS card, and then the souped up version. Really illustrates how you can do so much with just a few supplies. I actually think Catherine's assignment was brilliant. Sometimes we are our most creative when we limit ourselves.
Love these cards. I especially like the envelope stamp. Can't wait for this Foundation box
Love your cards!
Great card designs. This this set.
I love the blue shadow on your words. This would make a great travel box.

Your ideas and creativity with the stamp sets are incredible. Who would have thought to use the kite string as steam. I always learn so much from you. Thank you.
Wonderful cards. I love how easy it is to make clean & simple cards. Those new colors are beautiful too. Can't wait to get a set of those new stamp pads for my craft room. And thank you for the video.
Great cards from a great looking set!
Love the colors and the stamps. Love the cards you made.
Nice cards, thanks for sharing.
Such fun cards!
Love your cards. The brightness of the ink and the layering of small images have given me lots of inspiration.
That little coffee mug had been my favorite stamp used in the cards you all have created to this point. Now I think I need to add the envelope stamp to my faves. I do love the lovely, bright colors in these first 5 stamp paads. Love it all!
Your cards are wonderful especially those envelopes on that card....so much fun....thanks sharing how well those colors are....
Wowsers! I love them all, you are so creative!
Love the blue on blue miss you card - great use of stamps- looking forward to having a turn
Your 'back to basics' cards are absolutely stellar; my CAS-loving heart is completely captivated! You've showcased the new products wonderfully; the envelopes and mugs have really caught my eye! Thank you for the smiles today!

Love your little steaming coffee cups! Can't wait to get my hands on this box!
I enjoyed your post today. I especially enjoyed the video. What a creative use of the kite stamp to make steam. I must remember that one. There are great colours in this Foundatios Box, and the stamps can be used so many different ways.

cute cards, love all you put into them! the ink pads look great, such amazing results even with 2nd generation stamping!

Love these cards, especially the Thank You with all the tiny envelopes. So excited for Wednesday!
Fun video and great cards. The tiny envelopes are unbelievable!
I loved the kite string used as steam with the coffee cup cards. It only took a small change to "step-it-up". The envelope card was really bright and fun. This is a wonderful kit with all you need to make lots of projects! Love the versatility contained in it!
I'm blown away by all the CAS designs that are delightfully creative! I want to junk everything up so this hop has been very inspiring for me.
I love your cards, and the shadowed sentiments are very cool.
I have to say your "steam" is awesome, it is always great to multipurpose stamps.
Amazing cards. The envelope one is my favorite.
Cute cards. I am a fan of envelopes & hearts,too so I particularly love your card with envelopes & hearts in varying colors.
Great cards! Love the little envelopes.

Heather ...... your video was so fantastic. Using the kite string for steam? Nicely done!! I enjoy how you give tips on the simple things like how to hold the block and what type of pressure to use. The shadow on the sentiment was a nice touch too. This box of goodies looks so amazing. Catherine and her team have hit a homerun with this. Thank you for sharing all your creativity.

Just look at all these comments! Looks like Catherine hit the nail on the head again... as did you with these fabulous card designs, Heather.
