Welcome to Day 2 of the Counting Blessings Stamp of Approval Blog hop! All the hoppers participating in todays hop are linked at the end of this post. And there are prizes! More on that in a bit! Be sure to join the wait list so you can be notified right away when the The Counting Blessings Stamp of Approval collection is available for purchase. They sell out fast so I highly recommend you getting on that wait list.
To recap for those that may not know – Stamp of Approval is a quarterly hand picked, exclusive collection of products that were designed just for the box. The stamps and dies in the Stamp of Approval Collections won’t be released for individual sale for several months over at the Catherine Pooler store. Be sure to subscribe to the Wait List so you will be emailed the purchase link when the collection goes on sale!
COLLECTION CONTENTS: This collection is exceptionally special as it not only contains: 4 stamps sets, 3 dies AND 2 stencils – but also a two very special additional products you are just gonna love!
I have a couple of cards to share with you today using items from the collection. First up, a floral bouquet.
I adore the floral images in the Bloomin’ Bouquet stamp set (and it comes with coordinating dies) so I just had to watercolor them. The leaves were stamped with Catherine Pooler inks.
My second card is using a bit of masking with the images from the Autumn Blessings stamp set. What’s more fun than a pile full of pumpkins.
The Thankful die is also a new item in the collection and I love the script and bold lines, making it easy to die cut.
PRIZE:
One winner will be chosen at random from each day’s comments and announced on AUGUST 17th on Catherine’s blog. The winners will win the complete Counting Blessings collection.

Great cards. I don’t think I would have thought of masking the pumpkins to make a pile. How fun.

Cutest pumpkins ever!
Such great cards from everyone with this SOA! I think this is my favorite collection so far!
Love the pile o’pumpkins! Such a cute backdrop for that beautiful sparkly sentiment. Your first card is just beautiful. I thought at first you had heat-embossed the flowers and coloured with markers but the water colouring is even more effective.
Amazing and very beautiful cards!!
The first card is lovely with the water color look and the leaf variety…reminds me that I do not have to match leaves to the blooms!! Flowers are always a favorite.

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.
I had to travel for Business and unfortunately by the time I went to purchase, it was sold out 🙁
Love these cards!
Love hat pumpkin card…it is so stinking cute!
