Stamp of Approval - Love is in the Air Collection - Blog Hop Day 3

Hi everyone and welcome to Day 3 of the Stamp of Approval blog hop for the release of  Catherine Pooler's brand new
 Love is in the Air Collection

Thank you so much for joining us today.  I hope you've been having fun the last couple of days, hopping along with Catherine and her new Creative Team. During these three days you've had the opportunity to see all of these wonderful products in action, what do you think so far??

What is the Stamp of Approval Collection? 

• The Stamp of Approval is a  wonderful mix of exclusive stamps and die sets that were chosen by Catherine Pooler and made to coordinate beautifully.   If you are new to the  Stamp of Approval Collection, Click here to learn more about them.

Free Project Guide Included!  

• With the Stamp of Approval box, Catherine always includes a PDF Project Guide with pages and pages of inspiring projects from the SOA designers.  They include colored pictures, supply lists and step by step instructions chosen from the Creative Team's favorite projects. You can jump right in and start creating as soon as your goodies hit your mailbox!

Now let's get to the eye candy!  

Today I'd like to show you a few projects that I created using some of the beautiful products in the

Stamp of Approval Love is in the Air Collection

and Catherine Pooler Design's Premium Cardstock and inks from her online store.

 My first card today is my absolute favorite!  I am so in love with this map stamp in The World Awaits stamp set.  It is such a unique design and I was excited that Catherine included such a large stamp to color.  Now, there are no coordinating dies for this beauty yet (hint, hint CP),  but they are super easy to fussy cut around the edges.  Well, at least the main lands are.  I cut around them and popped them up with some dimensional tape.  The teeny tiny little islands I just stamped directly onto this card.  I colored this beautiful design with Zig Kuretake real brush watercolor markers.  The stripe borders are also from The World Awaits set.  I used the Love is in the Air and Bon Voyage stamp sets to coordinate the sentiment.

Because of love..... what????    The world is a better place of course!

My second card features that awesomely large Postage Stamp die set.  Catherine is a genius for not only giving us four different sizes in postage stamp dies but she also included three different sizes of stitched edge dies.   It's like two die sets in one!  The cute little paper airplane stamps are from the Happiness Enclosed stamp set and the sentiment is from the Love is in the Air stamp set.    The stitched heart trails and the tiny hearts are from the Bon Voyage stamps.  See how well all of these stamps and dies work together?  The possibilities are endless!

And finally, I wanted to throw one more card into the mix today because I couldn't leave out these gorgeous stamps and dies.  There's that Postage Stamp die set again, and behind that is the bright Sunburst die!  Take a look at that gorgeous, scripted Love die!  The hot air balloon stamps and the "forever" sentiment are from the adorable Love is in the Air stamp set.

Add-Ons:  I also want to mention that there are two coordinating add-on sets that will be available for purchase separately in the Catherine Pooler Design store.  One is the Love is in the Air coordinating dies that I used to cut out the the clouds and balloons on my card.   The other add-on die set is the Bon Voyage Accoutrements die set that coordinates with the Bon Voyage stamp set and is also sold separately. I used a die from this set to cut out the little hearts on my card.  So if you're interested in these dies you can add them into your cart along with your SOA box.

And don't forget, there's an awesome bonus mystery ink pad that will be included in every box!  If you love Catherine Pooler inks like I do, you are probably dancing right now!  LOL!   Shhhh, let me give you a little hint.....most of the designers on this blog hop used this ink color in at least one of their projects.  Including me!
