Hi everyone! Welcome to Day 3 of the Love is in the Air Stamp Of Approval Blog Hop! You should have arrived here from Cynde Whitlow’s blog. The complete list is below if you get lost along the way.
The collection goes up for sale on Tuesday, January 9th 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!
The collection contains products that can be used together and also used along with products you already have! And guess what? CAN YOU SAY NEW INK?????????? That’s right. A new mystery ink color is included in this collection. Any guesses as to what color it may be?? If you aren’t familiar with Catherine’s Ink, click HERE.
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! I used the The World Awaits stamp set on my first card. (I made 4 cards with just this one stamp set… I LOVE IT).
I watercolored using Catherine’s inks! These inks are so versatile. The exact colors I used are listed in the supply list (except the mystery ink….)
\
For my second card, I used the Postage Stamp die and Bon Voyage stamp set.
The die set is amazing and you can really make some fun creations with it… Layering the different sizes together or using them on their own.
GIVEAWAY:
One winner will be chosen at random from each day’s comments and announced on JANUARY 10th on Catherine’s blog. If the winner already purchased the collection, the winner will receive $100 gift certificated towards a future purchase.
Next Up on the hop is the fabulous Lisa Harrolle!

Wonderful ideas.
LOVE your take on the map-of-the-world. Who says oceans should be blue??!! Adding the compass star on vellum is a great way to incorporate it without hiding the lovely watercolouring. And the mystery-ink card is monochromatic magnificence! Love all the layers and ways of using the CP ink.
Love seeing your creations, the world stamp is so cute and the bottle card is adorable
I’m always loving your cards. I’m not sure if it’s because we are technique girls or what. Fabulous once again.

Wow! Love that orange & purple together & the pink note in a bottle too. Great cards. In Love yet Again! Love being a StampNation member. I love the Stamp of Approval collections because everything in it works so well together you don’t have to think about it. The cards practically make themselves. I love just how many different ways these products can be used together. Hard to choose a favorite product but I’m leaning really hard in the direction of those postage stamp dies.

Your watercoloring is gorgeous as always Laurel. I can’t ge5 enough of the world stamp. I love, love, love that sentiment, This collection Rocks mt World!
Love your adorabe cards! Really love this SOA collection!!
Awesome cards! That continents stamp ROCKS MY WORLD! I love the design within each continent!

I just love the two totally different looks of both cards!
My favourite Laurel is the bottle card as this has a variety of different frames used around the edge. :O)
love the “negative” postage stamp effect
Gorgeous cards! Love your color combos!
Love, love this!!! Can’t wait to get my box.
Lovely cards. I like how the SOA releases their product all coordinated and this plans so you aren’t stumped.. such a great idea. I hope I might be able to get a kit!
Both of your cards are very striking. The monochrome has so much depth and layering, and then the watercolor is so well blended that it almost looks like a monochrome, even though it’s not. But I think my favorite element is the vellum compass. It just works perfectly and ties the whole card together. Thanks for sharing your creativity with us!
Both cards are very nice, can’t decide which I like the best.
Very pretty – love the soft colors.
Love how the world map seems to pop off the page and I love the colours.
Loving this SOA collection and the options. Your cards are so different and I like what you did. Thanks for your constant inspiration!
That compass is so cool!
Both of your cards are so pretty!!
