Now, let's get on with my projects!
Sending Love Postcard
I used a number of stamps from 3 different sets to make a post-card full of love. The hand-lettered feel of the various sentiments really lends an authentic feel to it. The Postage Stamp Dies include a couple of stitched rectangles, and the smallest Postage Stamp die is (of course!) perfect as a stamp!
Rainbow Love
Stamps: Love is in the Air
Ink: Tiki Torch, Orange Twist, Tutti Frutti, Rockin Red, NEW Mystery Ink, Flirty Fuschia, Something Borrowed, Fiesta Blue, Aquatini, Lime Rickey, Melon Mist
Dies: Postage Stamp Dies, Love Die
Paper: Catherine Pooler White and Black
I used one edge of the largest Postage Stamp die to create a fun, bumpy border that these rainbow hearts nestle right into! These inks are so luscious and vibrant that I absolutely love using as many as I can to make a rainbow! I inlaid the love die.
Peacock Love
Stamps: Bon Voyage
Ink: Tiki Torch, Party Dress, Flirty Fuschia, NEW Mystery Ink, Black Jack
Dies: Bon Voyage Accoutrement Dies (Add-on to SOA Collection), Postage Stamp Dies
Paper: Catherine Pooler White, Smoke and Mirrors
I used the little geo tag stamp and die to create a frame for the Love banner (which is designed to fit on the hot air balloon stamp included in the set).
Be sure to visit Catherine's blog to see all the products in detail.

I love the Stamp of Approval collections because everything in it works so well together you don’t have to think about it. The cards practically make themselves. Hard to choose a favorite product but I’m leaning really hard in the direction of those postage stamp dies.

ReplyDeleteI didn't even recognize the postage stamp die in the second card. What an ingenious way to use it! In fact, all of your cards just switch up elements in a way that I love. I really enjoy your talent for taking a slightly different perspective on the set. Thanks so much for sharing your creativity with us!
ReplyDeleteAwww!!! Adorable cards!!!
