Winterhaven Stamp of Approval Release Day!

Today is release day for Catherine Pooler's Stamp of Approval Winterhaven box collection.  The collection is now available for those who weren't on the Wait List.  But hurry because 70% of the boxes have already sold and the rest will sell out quickly!

Good Stuff Inside

I have one more project I wanted to share with you today using products in this collection.

The 'Tis the Season floral stamp set in this collection is a beauty!  And there are add-on 'Tis the Season dies available in this set (not included in the collection) that coordinate with the stamps that are available now.  My card is slightly shorter than a standard A2 card to accommodate a surprise on the inside. I used a card base that was 4 1/4 x 11" and then folded the inside edge up an inch and then scored at the 5" mark (rather than at 5 1/2" like usual).  More about why later.  I stamped the poinsettia, mistletoe & holly leaves in Rockin' Red, It's a Girl, Garden Party & Mint to Be inks and a few berries in Party Dress ink.  I cut out the ones that I wanted to pop up, but you can order the 'Tis the Season add-on dies now if you would like the coordinating dies to match.  I added glitter to the center of the poinsettia.

The sentiment is such a fun font combination and it is from another stamp set in the collection called Good Stuff.  I stamped & embossed it in white on vellum.  The gray cardstock, from the Smoke & Mirrors cardstock bundle, was first die cut (the diagonal) using the Winterhaven Die Set and then stamped with the dots in VersaMark ink from the 'Tis the Season stamp set. 

The Inside

For the inside you can see how I folded the flap up to hold a gift card. I wanted to be able to frame the gift card and the large label/tag die included in the Good Stuff Die Set made the perfect backdrop for this.

I die cut the label shape from red cardstock, stamped the snowflakes from the Good Stuff Stamp Set with VersaMark and the stamped the dots from the 'Tis the Season stamp set around the outside of the label.  The "from" is also included in the the Good Stuff Stamp Set and was stamped with Garden Party ink.

When you remove the gift card you can see the sweet little enjoy that was stamped with Black Jack ink and is also in the the Good Stuff Stamp Set.  

Thank you for joining me today for release day!  If you haven't already ordered the Winterhaven Stamp of Approval box, you better hurry because they could be sold out soon!   I hope you have a wonderful day!
