Stamp of Approval: Holiday Magic Sneak Peeks!

12 Oct

Good morning!  I am so excited to be guest designing for the Holiday Magic Stamp of Approval box from Catherine Pooler and today I get to share my first sneak peek.  I had the extreme privilege of guest designing for the first box and was thrilled to be asked back for the second box!  And let me tell you…my jaw dropped when I opened this box…the designs are amazing!  And there is a ridiculous amount of versatility in the box!

One of the companies featured in this box is The Ton and my card for today uses The Ton’s Holiday Flourishes stamp set, sentiment dies from the box, and a little extra something that will go out to the first 25% of orders! 😉

You’ll be seeing a lot more from me this week using the Holiday Magic box but if you’d like to see a little more today head over to these fabulous designers:

  • Maureen 
  • Laurel  
  • Heather 

And make sure to visit Catherine’s blog all week for sneak peek videos!

Also if you head over to The Ton you’ll get one more tiny sneak peek of the Holiday Flourishes stamp set! 😉 And finally, the Holiday Magic box will be available to order on October 15th at 10AM EST.  If you are a member of StampNation you will be able to purchase the box one hour earlier!  To get on the waitlist to be notified, head over to Stamp of Approval!  The design team is also holding a blog hop on October 14th and two lucky people will win a box!

Supplies:

  • Ink: Versamark
  • Paper: Canson watercolor paper, Neenah Solar White cardstock, DCWV Glitter cardstock, Vellum
  • Accessories: Big shot, Lucy Abrams Champagne Mix, Ken Oliver Color Burst Powder in Pthalo Green, Spritz Bottle, Ranger Multi-Medium Matte, ATG Gun, Hero Arts white embossing powder, Embossing powder tool.

    So pretty. Love that background. I managed to get hold of a box from the second batch of the Friends collection and am so looking forward to the Holiday magic box. I’m not counting on the little sth. extra, because all of the extras will be long gone before I will be able to place an order after the first hour.

      Beth, it’s an adhesive tape runner. Super strong and very permanent…doesn’t allow much room for making adjustments after you stick it down but it will not come apart which I love! http://amzn.to/1MnQnQL
