I am thrilled to be a part of the Catherine Pooler and Colorado Craft Company Fall Blog Hop! The stamps from Colorado Craft Company are amazing as usual and I finally got to use Catherine Pooler inks that I’ve heard so much about!

Be sure to read all the way to the bottom for links to the other participants and a giveaway when you comment!

I love The Wizard of Oz. It’s always been one of my favorite movies so I was very excited when I saw the Big and Bold Ruby Slippers stamp set. I knew exactly what I wanted to create!

Making the easel card is pretty simple. Using an A2 top fold card base, score and fold the front in half at 2 3/4”. Adhere 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” brick stenciled Hero Arts Canary cardstock to the inside of the card base.

Adhere 2 3/4” x 4 1/2” stenciled cardstock and cityscape die cut to bottom of 4 1/4” x 5 1/2” Hero Arts Arctic cardstock. This piece gets adhered to bottom of front fold of card base only.

Stamp the shoes from the Big and Bold Ruby Slippers stamp set with Catherine Pooler Midnight ink. Mask off the socks and legs and blend on Peppermint Scrub ink from Mini Bundles Paradise Found Spa set, applying heavier amounts in shadows. Add detail with red Copic Markers.

Fussy cut the image with small, sharp scissors. Stamp, cut and color two more bows and adhere with foam tape. Color the legs and socks. Add Nuvo Aqua Shimmer pen to shoes. Add shoes to card front.

Stamp and heat emboss sentiments. Add an extra layer of cardstock to one of the sentiments and adhere inside card base. This will hold the easel card open for display. Adhere remaining sentiments.

The second stamp set is the Lovely Legs Autumn Season Girl and it is fabulous! Fall is my favorite season.

Stamp the image with Catherine Pooler Midnight ink and color using all the inks in the Mini Bundles Paradise Found Spa set with a watercolor brush using ink and a small amount of water. Mat on Hero Arts Pitch Black cardstock and place on an A2 card base cut from Hero Arts Adriatic cardstock.

Die cut the Just Thanks die from Hero Arts Plum and Pumpkin cardstocks and adhere together but slightly offset. Add Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen to the die cuts and the leaves. Add a few Catherine Pooler Mystic Sequins.

I really enjoyed making these two cards. The Catherine Pooler mini inks are a great size. I hope to add more to my new collection soon.

    Jennifer, your cards rock!! What a smashing idea to make an easel card using the Ruby Red shoes as it allowed you space to make the yellow brick road for them to stand on. I love the colours you used on the Season Girl Autumn card. CCC Lovely legs collection are amazing & I really like to own this one. It makes me remember how fun it is to walk through piles of maple leaves in the fall & kick them into the air. CP inks you used are beautiful.

      Thank you for the kind words! It’s all about the practice. You have no idea how often I color something and scrap it because the coloring is awful.

    I love the fun fold card! & Your color combinations are so pretty! This hop is full of so many different techniques, I’m so happy I decided to follow along! Thank you for sharing! 😊

      Thank you! When I first saw the stamps I was absolutely in love with them. They were so perfect and it was fun to use an ink company I’ve never used before.

    Jennifer, let’s get real … those ruby red slippers stole my heart! I absolutely love how you colored those socks white. I’ll definitely use that tip. Thanks for sharing such beautiful cards. Have a lovely weekend!

    Cute easel card and the Lovely Legs as well. This release is a good one and great products also available as well. Thanks for sharing.

    Your cards are beautiful. The easel yellow brick road card is genius with the ruby slippers. And your lovely legs autumn card is a real eye catcher with the blue coat. Fall is my favorite season also. TFS!

  57. Carol Wortman

    Great minds think alike!! When I first saw the riby red slippers stamp I immediately thought Easle Card!! Then you put them on the yellow brick road…sista!!! Love this card, the colors, the memories. The inks are so vibrant and perfect to pop that yellow against the red! Click, click, click💞🖼

    Wonderful cards. I especially love the first one. It made me immediately think of my sister. She was born the same year The Wizard of Oz came out and collects Wizard of Oz things. She would really get a kick out of that card.

  91. Denise Bryant

    Awesome coloring on both of these pretty images! Really loving the ruby slippers and the way you colored them! Love the autumn scene too!

  103. Barbara

    I like that you used the slippers on an easel card. The colors on the leaves on he second card are beautiful.

  107. Cindy Holmes

    Beautiful cards! I have to say that the second card has got to be my favorite one! I just love all of the colors that you used for it!

  115. Angela Shoffner

    🥰 beautiful cards! Love all the colors, the slippers card is my favorite, the brick wall is pretty creative

  121. Chrissy

    Oh my goodness – you’ve captured Dorothy’s ruby slippers perfectly!!!! Both cards are lovely, but I can’t quit looking at that gorgeous yellow brick road!

  127. Connie Johnson

    Hi Jennifer 🙂 These cards are sooooooo stinkin’ fun!!! I’m glad you like The Wizard of Oz as I grew up watching it once a year! I’m a Kansan and as everyone knows 😉 Dorothy and Toto are from my home state! Thanks for inspiring me 🙂
