Stamp of Approval Candy Cane Lane Release Day!!!

So are you excited or what? It's release day for Catherine Pooler's stamp of Approval Candy Cane Lane Collection!!!  I hope you had time to check out all the blog hops showing peeks over the past few days.. .if not you can see the complete list of designers here on Catherine's blog!

Stamp of Approval takes all the guess work out of creating.  This collection of stamps and dies is designed to work fabulously together.  They are released quarterly and sell out quickly (The last one sold out in 33 hours!!) You get a box full of amazing stamps and dies, but you also get a downloadable PDF Project Guide with tons of project tutorials using them!

I really loved the opportunity to work with these stamps and I know you will too.  They are really versatile (if you've been checking the peeks you already know that!)  

Here's a fun card that you can easily mass produce for Christmas or Holiday giving (there are different sentiments in the set so you can customize it).

I started by stamping the sentiment on white card stock and then die cutting it with a circle die.  You can also use a punch if  you like.  Next I traced the circle in pencil on a panel that was sized for my card front.   I added distress ink - (spun sugar) working my way out from the center - no worries about smudges or how dark it is in the center - we're going to cover that up! 

I stamped the winter berries in a circle around the perimeter of the circle, alternating the colors of the berries (light red, dark red).  To finish it off I adhered the circle die cut sentiment in the center with adhesive foam tape.

I love the monochromatic design and the clean look of this card.  A sprinkle of sparkling clear sequins add a touch of sparkle and shine! 

Lots of other designers are posting today with projects make with the kit.  You can find a complete list and find out how to get a kit of your own here at Catherine Pooler's Blog!

Stamp of Approval Candy Cane Lane New Release Blog Hop!

Surprise!   I'm so excited to be posting for Catherine Pooler's Stamp of Approval newest collection - Candy Cane Lane!   New collections are released quarterly, and this collection will be released soon, very soon.. September 22!!!   The collection includes everything you need for your holiday crafting.    Today we're starting peeks of the new collection.  If you're hopping along you should have reached me from Catherine Pooler's blog.  If you want to start from the beginning and get all the details you can find them at  Catherine Pooler's blog.   This is a limited collection that will only be available until they are sold out.  

So let's talk about some of the goodies in this amazing collection!!!  That yummy striped panel was created with the new Peppermint Stick Background Stamp!   It's made of red rubber so you're going to get a crisp clean impression every time.  I stamped mine with pigment ink for rich clean lines. 

Those fab stripes look great in ANY color and I know you'll use them all year round.  They look particularly nice with the other images in the collection like these Candy Canes from Candy Cane Lane Stamp Set.  The stamps have coordinating dies to make cutting the canes, holly and bows a breeze. There's plenty of sentiments in the set too!

My second card was made using the Hip Holiday set.  You'll love the fancy reindeer with the flourish antlers, buildable tree and accents in this set.  

The pink label and "Joy" word die cuts are also part of the collection.  These are the Merry Labels dies from CAS-ual Fridays made exclusively for Stamp of Approval.  Take a close look and see the intricate pattern along the edges of the die.  The extra detail is exquisite - and again.. these labels are perfect for all year round. 

Here's a better look at that word die.  It's a pretty script font, and the set also includes the word  "Merry".

This collection of products (Stamps and Dies) are designed to work fabulously together, but they'll also work incredibly well with the supplies you already own.  These collections are released quarterly and sell out quickly (the last one sold out in 33 hours!).  To be the first to know when they go for sale make sure you are on the wait list here at Catherine Pooler's Stamp of Approval.  You'll get the link to purchase one day before it goes for sale publicly. 

Not only do you get a box FULL of amazing stamps and dies, but you'll get a downloadable PDF Project Guide (for free!) with tons of project tutorials using them.  The stamps and dies in the Stamp of Approval Collections are brand new on the market and wont be released for individual sale for several months.
