Hi everyone! Welcome to Day 3 of the Celebrate Friends Stamp Of Approval Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from Kelly Martin’s blog. The complete list is below if you get lost along the way.
The collection goes up for sale on tomorrow, April 23rd at 9am to those on the Wait List. Ordering opens to the public (6pm EST) the same day if the collection hasn’t sold out already. StampNation members that are on the Wait List will be notified first (a little perk of being a member!) and then the rest of the Wait List will be contacted!
**The box is only available while supplies last.**
Make sure that you are on the Wait List to be notified as soon as its available!
This collection is a bit different!!! BECAUSE, you can choose to celebrate with COFFEE or celebrate with TEA or even better – BOTH! YOU GET TO CHOOSE! If you choose both, you can just add on the other stamp/die to your order! AND, there is a new ink color!!!! WOOT!
Let’s check out a couple of cards I made with this collection. I made sure to use the new ink color so look closely! My first card is all about coffee, of course! LOL! The Perfect Blend stamp set is an adorable coffee stamp set (also has coordinating dies). Using Catherine Pooler ink on her Sand Dunes cardstock is so pretty!
I love the images in the set that you can add to the coffee cups!! 🙂
My next card features the WOO HOO stamp set!!! I stamped the sentiment in a bunch of different colors (obviously, lol) and then applied a thick coating of Glass Bead Glitter Gel over the top to create my own sparkly patterned paper….
GIVEAWAY:
3 random winners will be chosen to receive $97 Gift Certificate to the Catherine Pooler store. That way you can pick up your very own SOA if you’d like!!!! The winners will be announced on April 23rd on Catherine’s blog and will be selected from those that comment on ALL of the hoppers posts.

I really love those colors on the sand dune cardstock. I have not tried the Glass Bead Glitter Gel but it looks so great over your fun background!
Like the look of the coffee cup card on the sand dune cardstock – gorgeous! And thanks for including a new technique (for me). Thanks for sharing your art!
Great cards. Love the images you added to the coffee cups.
Very unique cards!! Love them both!!
Love the way you used all those words Laurel!! Cute cards. 🙂
Cute cards! Love the one with all the words.
Yes coffee is first thing in morning! Love the cards and new color and have ordered glass bead paste. So much fun to see the different ideas! Thank you
Very beautiful cards!! I really love this release!!
Coffee is great in the morning, but tea in the afternoon is just as nice. I loved both of your cards!
I really like card on craft paper something I don’t use enough.
Love those decorated coffee cups!
Love these Laurel! The softness if the coffe card on Sand Dunes paper is great! And the sparkle on the other card…sooo pretty!
I thought the new color was the one I’m been asking for at first. I got all excited, but then when I looked at your list of supplies I think I may be wrong. Great cards. Can’t wait to get this set. It was a busy week last week so I hopped quick and need to go back. Thanks for sharing. I’m still not sold on foil, however maybe with this collection with the die cut words I can give it another spin, we will see. I just need encouragement and the motivation to get the foil supplies.
Your cards are so much fun. Love how you made a card with just words.
Love the coffee mugs with the designs on them. The sand dune cardstock was perfect for them and the colors that you chose. I really love how you used the glass glitter gel on the top of your second card. I’ve never thought of doing this but I have the gel and think it’s time to give it a try. Thanks for the inspiration!
I do love the coffee mugs on the sand dune cardstock. It looks so natural.
I also love the way the glass bead gel makes your card glow! Thank you.
Smiles, Darby

Great cards. The sand dune cardstock works really well with colors you used.
kraft cardstock and coffee go so well together.
Awesome cards! I love how you can personalize the coffee cups. I can get enough of the scattered circles stencil. Your second card is so much fun!

Terrific cards Laurel! The first is warm and comforting, love the colors. The second bright and full of shine, the glass beads are amazing.

Love the look of that first card, Laurel.
I managed to get hold of a big jar of Viva glitter paste (Cristal gel – hologram) last week (in the only craft shop in my area in Crete, Greece) and boy, it is very glittery indeed LOL.
Awesome cards! Wish I could see the glitter bead one in person as I’m sure it’s sparkly goodness!
Wow! Laurel your cards are amazing, thanks for sharing. Sure got to love both stamps sets. Wow!
Cute! Like how you curved some of the verses.
Such fun cards, Laurel! Love how you used the glass bead glitter gel on the 2nd card. Thanks for sharing!
awesome cards
Huh, I never considered putting the glass bead gel over a bunch of sentiments, but that looks really cool. I bet it also feels really nifty too. I love the soft colors on the first card as well. I love the look of kraft, but I rarely use it because I’m usually making cards for my nieces, so I tend to go for really bright colors. But I will have to try this now, and actually send out my cards to adults I know. Novel concept, I realize. Thanks for sharing your fun design flair and great ideas with us!
These are cute. Love the funky vibe they have =)
Your cards are just too cute!
Amazing cards. Both color combos fab. I need to use glass bead glitter gel on an entire card front. Inspiring, Laurel !!!
How charming your
coffee cups are with
the stamped images
on them! I love the
second card.

Great cards. Love your cardstock choice.
Very lovely cards.
Wow! I agree with the others on the coffee card on the sand dune cardstock! Absolutely lovely! Each time I think I have decided on which set between coffee or the tea collection, I see a card and think this one is the one I’m getting. Maybe I can get my husband to let me get both for an early Mother’s Day gift!
Love the card with all the words!! Neat idea!!
