Counting Blessings | Stamp of Approval | Blog Hop Day 2

Welcome to the second day of Blog Hops celebrating the Counting Blessings Stamp of Approval Collection. If you have arrived here from Chrissie's blog then you are right on track and your next stop would be Justine's blog. 

A little about Stamp of Approval or SOA:  Stamp of Approval is a hand picked, exclusive collection of products that were designed just for the box that releases quarterly. This box is full of stamping goodness and they sell out really quickly. So be sure to subscribe to the Wait List so you will be emailed when the collection goes on sale on August 16th, 2017 (9AM for the Wait List and 6PM it will open to the public)

Please head on over to Catherine Pooler’s website (the founder of Stamp of Approval) to sign up on the Waiting List, this is the best way to make sure you get YOUR Stamp of Approval box. Wait List members will be notified first through email when the box goes up for sale one hour before the collection is released to the general public! So make sure you sign up for the Waiting List so that you don’t miss out on your Stamp of Approval box!

Join StampNation, there will be a special live pre-release PJ party on Tuesday night, August 15th at 10 pm ET for StampNation members. Ordering for the new collection will open up for all StampNation members during the live party!

I have a couple of cards to share with you all and I also I will be posting a few cards now and then on my blog using this Counting Blessings Collections.

This is the first time I'm using a Texture Paste (Ranger). I wasn't quite sure how this would look on my card! But I think stenciling through Geo Trio Stencil took away all my fears, it just looks fantastic! :)

I started by die-cutting the Brown card stock with a 'tag die' from Tags,etc.dies set. Then I placed the negative piece of the tag on a white card stock, traced a line and applied CP's Pixie Dust Ink with a blending tool and foam. I added droplets of water and removed the excess ink with a tissue paper.

Next I stamped the Pumpkins from Autumn Blessings in Tiara, Tiki Torch and Orange Twist Inks, fussy cut them and kept aside. I stamped the sentiment from 'Good Things' in Midnight Ink on the ink blended panel.

Finally onto the main card base I adhered the brown panel and over that I adhered the Pumpkins! they look so cute together! :) And that finishes my first card..

Here comes the second one!

I started by ink smooshing the white card stocks with It's a Boy ink and I let the panels air dry completely.

Next I stamped the solid floral image from 'Bloomin' Bouquet' in It's a Girl ink also stamped the outline flower with the same ink and water colored the image with the same ink as well. Next I die-cut the leaves from 'Fallen Leaves Dies' and water colored it with Melon Ice Ink. 

Then adhered all the layers with glue and foam tape, stamped the sentiment from 'Bloomin' Bouquet' in Midnight Ink. I just love the font, so cool!

Finally embellished the card with Stardust Stickles and that finishes the card :)
