Welcome to Day 3 of our Stamp of Approval "Candy Cane Lane" collection Blog Hop!
What is Stamp of Approval?
It's a box of amazing card making supplies that have been specially designed to all work together for creating fun hand-made cards.
Our theme for this release is our holiday themed box and it's called "Candy Cane Lane". It contains one large rubber back ground stamp, two 4x6 stamp sets with coordinating dies plus a label shaped die set.
How can I get one?
You can get on the Wait List by signing up here at cpstampofapproval.com.
The box goes on sale on Wednesday September 21st. StampNation Wait List members will receive their sales link at 9:00am EST (a little perk of being a member!). All other Wait List members will receive their link at 10:00am EST. Public sales will begin on Thursday September 22nd.
Now... on to the show!
I decided I wanted a rustic holiday card to share with you today so I created a couple different ones.
I had a blast with this collection! I just couldn't resist using the fabulous stag from the "Hip Holiday" stamp set and the amazing "Peppermint Stick" back ground together!
And I love looking at stamps and thinking outside the box! You see those striped curves right there? Well, they're actually to create Catherine's too-cute "Crooky Tree" but I decided to create a wreath shape with them instead!!
I hope you've enjoyed the last three days of the Blog Hops for the "Candy Cane Lane" collection!
Please take a moment and leave a COMMENT to WIN a box of your very own!
Allison Cope - you are here!
Ingrid Blackburn - go here next!
Thanks for joining me today! Have a great Tuesday everyone!

That is my favorite thing in the card-making world when someone takes a stamp or die that is for something specific and turns it into something totally different!!! LOVE the wreath card and the other one too!!! Colors are cool!!
