It’s always so exciting to open and swatch a brand new ink color for the first time. That’s how I felt when I tried the new Getaway Ink with the new Catherine Pooler Trail Mix Release. 

This cardmaking project features:

• Catherine Pooler Getaway Ink pad
• Gone Camping Stamp Set and Dies
• From Me to You Sentiments Stamp Set
• Just You Word Die
• Trail Mix Patterned Paper

For today’s project, I created two cards, using the Gone Camping 3×4 Stamp Set, which is the gift with any $50 purchase freebie during the release using the code CAMPING. Such a fun extra for this release!

How I made this card

I started by stamping the tent images and the little backpack elements with Getaway and Catching Rays ink pads, then I die cut everything with the matching dies.

After that, I chose one of the patterned papers from the Trail Mix Patterned Paper for the background. I loved the striped pattern here because it adds even more energy to the card and works so well with the fun camping theme.

Next, I arranged the tents across the card front in a repeated design. I wanted the card to feel full, playful and a little bit whimsical, so I spread the images around the panel instead of keeping everything in one small focal area.

Then I added the tiny extra flower elements between the tents to help fill the background and make everything feel more connected with the Wintergreen inkpad.

For the sentiment, I chose a bold “you” die cut made with Just You Word Die and layered it for dimension. I really love how this bright pop of color stands out against the softer background with the Samba ink pad color. I also added a heat embossed white sentiment to the top of the bold one that I have made with the From Me to You Sentiments Stamp Set.

I had some tent leftovers, so I made a cleaner version of this card with the same used supplies. To tie everything together, I added a few little accents and kept the overall look bright, fresh and summery.

Getaway Ink Pad

The Getaway ink is a lovely fresh red-orange shade that is lighter than Do-Si-Do, and it joins the Party Red-Orange family. It feels bright, cheerful and full of summer energy, which made it perfect for this playful camping inspired card.
