You are my best friend


Hi everyone!
I am back today with another card using the amazing products in the Stamp of Approval Friendship Collection.


I sponged the background piece with Distress inks in rainbow colors.  After sponging, I placed the awesome stencil from the box over the piece and added translucent embossing paste over top.  Removed the stencil and let dry.  After it was dry, you get a bunch of bright, shiny circles on your background.

I cut the friend die from a piece of black fun foam and used my heat tool to shrink it.  LOVE that!  It gives you more ways to use your dies and if you need a smaller die cut this is the way to do it.   I temporarily placed the die cut on the panel and stamped the little flowers in rainbow colors around the sentiment.   After attaching the fun foam die cut, I stamped the rest of the sentiment.  I added a dot of glossy accents to the center of each flower to pull in the shine from the background.

These products are so much fun to work with.
The box sold out quickly and I hope that everyone that wanted a box was able to get one.
Catherine was so kind to open up the ordering for everyone until 2PM yesterday, with those that ordered later not receiving their boxes until Sept.

Head on over to Catherine's blog for more inspiration, as well as Maureen and Heather.

*ETA this over at TIME OUT Challenges.

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamp of Approval Blog Hop


Hi friends!
I am very excited to be participating in a blog hop featuring some of the amazing goodies found in the Stamp of Approval Friendship Collection.  I have had a blast working with all the products in the box.
I am so inspired and keep thinking of more and more ideas to try out. 
Everything is so fun to work with!  

 The box contains products that can be used together to create many different cards.  
They can also be used along with products you already have in your supplies!  Awesome!!

Here is one of the many cards I created.


For this card, I used the stencil that comes in the box to create my own patterned paper.




This stencil is an awesome tool to get perfectly spaced stamping. 
 Can you think of other stamps in your stash that you could use to create your own patterned papers using this stencil?  
I know I have many more ideas using this technique.

One lucky commenter will win the Stamp of Approval Friendship Collection!
Your chances of winning increase if you comment on each blog hop post.
Comments close on Friday at noon EST and winners will be announced on Catherine's blog.
**The box is only available while supplies last.** 
If the winner has already purchased a box they will be reimbursed.


Here is the hop list:

Thank you for visiting and happy hopping!

Friend


Hi friends!
I am SO excited to be sharing one of my projects using the amazing goodies found in the Stamp of Approval Friendship Collection by Catherine Pooler!  This collection is chock full of supplies that will have your creativity going off the charts.  I have been creating many projects using the stamps/dies/etc. included in the collection.

Here is my card.


I used the open leaf stamp from the set designed by Winnie & Walter to create the cool medallion.  I had so much fun playing around with this stamp trying to think of fun, unique ways to use it other than how it was intended.  I was so excited when I figured out you could create this with one stamp.  The swirls are another stamp in the set.  The sentiment die was cut out of black paper and the rest of the sentiment was stamped.  I colored the image with Copics to get the orange/yellow center.

To check out some more “Stamp of Approval” creations, please visit these lovely ladies for more inspiration today:


**Make sure and come back tomorrow as I will be participating in a blog hop to celebrate the release of the Stamp of Approval Friendship Collection.**


  Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Merry Monday #168


Hi everyone!
Time for another Merry Monday Challenge.
This week Deanne challenges us to create a Christmas card using Pastel colors.


To get the color behind my snowflakes, I used the back side of the stamp from the stamp set Sparkle & Shine by Clearly Whimsy stamps.  The sentiment is also from that set.  I used the dot chevron stencil by Simon Says Stamp to add texture to the card base with embossing paste.  I added a rhinestone to the center of each snowflake to finish it off.

 Make sure you check out the other DT members cards over at the Merry Monday challenge blog. I hope you will join us! 

Thank you for visiting and have a great day!

Stamps:  Sparkle & Shine (Clearly Whimsy)
Ink:  Early Espresso, Aqua Mist, Pink Pirouette & Pistachio Pudding (SU)
Paper:  White, Early Espresso
Accessories:  Rhinestone, Dot chevron stencil (SSS), Translucent embossing paste

STAMP OF APPROVAL COMING SOON!!!


Hi everyone!
All week long StampNation members have been receiving clues to a certain mystery sponsor!  The mystery has been revealed.  I'm so excited for Catherine and her new hand picked, exclusive collection called:

Stamp of Approval!!

There are very limited supplies of this first box, so be sure to get on the wait list.  Based on the response we’ve had so far, I’m afraid this is going to sell out fast.  This is NOT a kit! This is an exclusive collection that was designed for this specifically and will not be available in stores until 2016….


Don't miss out!
Thank you for visiting and have a great day!
