Comments close on Thursday February at 9:00am EST.  Good luck!

Now on to the show…

Typically I create A2 sized cards (4 1/4” x 5 1/2”) but this one is 6” tall to make it a little longer and leaner.  I had fun with the SOA "Harleen" stencil and my Copic Airbrush system creating the bright gradient of colour across it!  Plus, I used my MISTI tool to create a graphic paper with the cute little balloon stamp too!

This collection is fantastic and WELL worth the investment!
Now check out our next Stamp of Approval designer blog… and see what Laurel has in store for you!

Stamp of Approval is Almost Here!

It’s THAT time of year… time for another fabulous Stamp of Approval box!

What’s Stamp of Approval you ask?

Well… it’s this amazing purdy little box that you can purchase that contains a variety of stamp sets from different manufacturers that are all designed to use together.  The box also contains two themed die sets and a cool stencil this time!  All these products will go on sale with their original manufacturers at some time in the future but they are exclusive to this box for the better part of 2016.  The box sells for much less than buying ALL of its contents on their own!!! This box will go on sale FEBRUARY 3rd!

To sign up for an email telling you that the box is available for purchase, please visit here.  Just click on “Get on the List” at the top of the page.  If you are a StampNation member, you will receive the shopping list an hour EARLY!

And let me tell ya, if there was any kind of theme related stamps, dies and stencils that you NEED… then this is the box for you!!!  This season’s box is called “Young at Heart” and it’s all about birthdays!  Yup, it’s birthday themed and it’s amazing!

Today, along with Catherine, Heather and Lisa, I’ll be sharing one of my many fun birthday card creations using the contents of this jaw-dropping box.

Can I say, the dies alone sold me on this box!  They’re amazing!  There is 19 individual dies in this box!  There are 6 of them used on this card alone.

We will be having a complete SOA Designer Blog Hop on February 2nd.  On this day you will be eligible to WIN a “Young at Heart” SOA box for your very own!!!  How cool is that!?  Comments will close Thursday Feb. 4th at 9:00am EST. So make sure to mark your calendars for February 2nd and come back here to have a chance at winning a box for yourself!

You can see a ton of new sneak peeks on Catherine Pooler’s blog.  She’s been sneaking for a while now.

Make sure you check out my fellow SOA designers today for a few more sneak peeks…
