Have you heard the news? The newest Stamp of Approval collection from Catherine Pooler is being released next week. For the past few days Catherine has been sneak peeking items from the collection on her blog and today she showed the last item. That means I can now share what I have been making with all of you! Are you ready for some cards with lots of sneak peeks on them?
I liked this design so much, I made 3 cards. First up I made a card for a family member who has a birthday next week. Can you spot the SOA stamps I used on all 3 cards?

Please don't ask me why I didn't use the birthday stamp set that is in the collection. In all honesty this box is so packed with goodies I forgot there was a birthday set in it. Don't worry though, I'll share a card using the birthday stamp during tomorrow's blog hop. ;)

My second card was made for a friend that has been such a blessing in my life. I wanted to use SOA exclusively on this card, and remembered the Lovely Lattice background stamp that is included in the collection. Isn't it pretty? I wanted to see how the tone-on-tone would look using this stamp, but now I want to try this technique again and stamp it in black. hmmm.... the ideas for these stamps just keep coming. :)

My last card is a combo of the first and second. This one is for my mom. She has been going through a difficult time with such grace & compassion. I wanted to let her know how much I admire her. <3
