Counting Blessings Stamp of Approval Blog Hop Day 1


A new Stamp of Approval is being released this week.  The name of this limited edition collection is near and dear to my heart: Counting Blessings.  I'm so excited to share a couple of my projects with you today!  This first one is included in the project guide that will be emailed to you after you purchase the collection. 

My first card uses one of the 2 stencils included in this collection to make a rainbow of leaves.  Isn't that a fun, yet simple idea?


Paper: Basic Black (SU) Bright White (CPD)
Accessories: Tags, Etc. Dies, Marching Leaves Stencil, Thankful Die (SOA) White Embossing Powder (SU)


My second card uses the unique Fallen Leaves Dies.  First I die cut a row of leaves out of my card panel.  The I die cut some leaves from paper that had been sponged with Bellini and Flirty Fuchsia inks.  I did a partial inlay die cut technique, using the white outline die and select sponged fillers from the dies.  Next I did my stamping. The final touch was to splatter with a little black ink using a spritzer tool and mount it on some light gray cardstock. 



Accessories: Basic Black Marker, Spritzer Tool (SU) Fallen Leaves Die (SOA)


These collections sell out fast, so make sure you are on the waitlist to find out as soon as they go up for sale.  Our last release sold out before it could go live to the public.  Only those on StampNation and the waitlist had the opportunity to snatch one.

What can I say: I love these cards, Heather! The inlay of die cuts is something I always was too lazy to attempt, but I'm definitely inspired to try with this new collection.
Thankful, blessed, & grateful (& GRACE) are my personal bywords, and having them available to stamp, repeatedly & forever, is an opportunity I can’t easily pass up!

I became one of the newest members of Stamp Nation last week, & I hope to be able to purchase the collection on Wednesday! Thank you for sharing your cards with us all.

I love this box! I feel very fortunate that I am able to budget in purchasing the SOA every quarter. I typically do not comment on the blog hop, because I hope the winner is someone who may not have that financial luxury; however, this morning was a bit crazy and when I went to purchase, it was SOLD OUT! The blog hop is my last chance at owning one of these boxes...fingers crossed...I've owned every one from the beginning.
