Colorful Congratulations
For my Instagram card (join me there for your chance to win) I am sharing a very colorful card using add-on dies that you will love called Backsplash dies!! These were so fun to play with and I can see so many colorful combinations using these dies (there are 4 in the set)! Putting two of the tiles together is the perfect width to fit the congratulations sentiments in the Congratulations Sentiments stamp set that is part of the Stamp of Approval Adoring You collection.

For this card I pulled out scraps of cardstock in bright colors, die cut and pieced away.  I adhered tape to the back of the die to hold the pieces together.  The process went relatively quickly.  This particular die reminded me of a rainbow & sunshine when I first saw it so of course I had to go with that for this card!  This card measures 4 1/2 x 3 7/8.  

Be sure to visit my on Instagram for your chance to win one of the two $25 gift certificates to the Catherine Pooler store (pssst...you can use that on ink too!!)!  😁

Catherine Pooler's Adoring You Stamp of Approval Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY!

Introducing the Adoring You Stamp of Approval Collection

It's time to celebrate a NEW Stamp of Approval Box from Catherine Pooler called Adoring You!  I think you'll adore this boxed collection 😁 and all of the fun products that are included!  I know I had a blast playing with them!

What is Stamp of Approval?

If you are unsure what the Stamp of Approval Box is, it is a quarterly hand picked, exclusive collection of products that were designed just for the box. The stamps, dies and other fun products in the Stamp of Approval Collection won’t be released for individual sale for several months over at the Catherine Pooler store.  There will be some add-on products that you can purchase along with your Stamp of Approval box and those can be found here when the products go live (schedule of release is below).

Be sure to subscribe to the Wait List so you will be emailed the purchase link when the collection goes on sale on January 9th! Some of these boxes have sold out quickly in the past so if you want one I'd suggest getting it now or it may be gone! 

This collection will be available in the Catherine Pooler store on Wednesday, January 9th at 6PM EST or if you are on the waitlist you can start shopping at 9 AM EST!  

Happy Anniversary with the Adore Die

For this first card, I'm sharing two today, I used the Adore die, included with the boxed collection.  It is named because when die cut, it makes a door.  Get it?  LOL!  You can also use it as a window.  It makes the perfect background for the cute birds from the Happy Together stamp set, also included in the collection.

I first die cut the Adore die with the lightest cardstock in the Smoke & Mirrors cardstock pack.  I love the grays in this paper pack!  I also die cut it with Premium White cardstock so that I could layer the white, with the lighter gray panels inset into it.  I used a yellow cardstock scrap to create the sunrise window at the top.

I die cut the birds & the branch using an add-on die set called Happy Together dies (available here on 1/9).  The branch is die cut from Sand Dunes cardstock and then stamped with Icing on the Cake ink which is the perfect color for the branch. The blue bird was stamped with Something Borrowed, Daydream & Juniper Mist ink and the pink bird was stamped with Be Mine, Party Dress & Rockin' Red inks.  I adhered the birds to the cards with dimensional tape.  I also added the tiny little heart with dimensional tape as well.

Always Welcome Here
The Sweet Home Wreath stamp set (with add-on dies available 1/9) has so many ways to use it.  Here I kept the wreath fairly simple and added in some florals in bright, spring colors.

I started by stamping the wreath in Mint to Be ink twice to make it fuller.  I then stamped & die cut the floral pieces with the add-on Sweet Home Wreath die set stamping them in Flirty Fuchsia, Limoncello and Party Dress inks.  The leaves are stamped with Lime Rickey ink, my most used green.  The sentiment is gorgeous and it is also in the Sweet Home Wreath stamp set.  The border at the bottom is stamped with an image in the Congratulations Sentiments stamp set, also included in the collection.  I popped that border up with foam tape.

For some added details I used the little dotted stamp in the Sweet Home Wreath stamp set randomly around the wreath. 

Keep Hopping!

Popular Beanie Hat

You all have seen the popular beanie hats all over the place haven't you?  They come in a rainbow of colors and have the brown tag at the bottom.  In case you haven't noticed them before, here is a photo.

That was my inspiration for this card.

I started by making an outline of the shape I wanted my hat to be in and then cut it out with scissors.  (If you don't think you can freehand this there are many coloring pages you can download and use as a template.)  I stamped the bottom pink part with Versamark ink using the Cozy Borders stamp set.  Next I took a piece of cream cardstock and stamped the next images from the same set with Daydream & Twilight ink.  For the top pom pom I used a die from the Sugar Cookie Die set (add-on set) that is a snowflake, die cut it from several different colors of carstock including Smoke & Mirrors and then cut a slit in each little point and stacked them together.

Of course I had to add the little tan tag on the card too!  I cut a piece of Sand Dunes cardstock & stamped the sentiment from the Tiny Wishes stamp set on to it with Over Coffee ink and then attached it to the card.

Time to Shop!

Thank you for joining me today for release day!  If you haven't already ordered the Home for the Holidays Stamp of Approval box and/or the add-on dies and acrylic block, you better hurry because they could be sold out soon!   I hope you have a wonderful day!
