Welcome to day TWO of the Stamp of Approval Blog Hop!!!   There are three days total and different designers are hopping along on each day! If you missed day one, please click HERE!  We’ve got a fun line up for you today! The Stamp of Approval collection will be available in two days! Yup, on July 13th, the collection could be yours!

To recap for those that may not know – Stamp of Approval is a hand picked, exclusive collection of products that were designed just for the box (the boxes are adorable by the way) that releases quarterly.The stamps and dies in the Stamp of Approval Collections are brand new on the market and won’t be released for individual sale for several months.  Not only do you get a box full of amazing stamps and dies, but you’ll get a FREE downloadable PDF Project Guide with tons of project tutorials using the items from the collection!   The first box released last year and sold out within hours, so be sure to subscribe to the Wait List so you will be emailed when the collection goes on sale to the world on July 13!

I have two cards and a video to share with you today! I made many more, but since this is a hop you have loads to see. So I’ll be posting the rest of my projects throughout the rest of the week!

First up, let’s take a look at the multi heat embossed card. I’ve got a video to go along with this card. You can watch it right here on the blog or over on my youtube channel in HD.

The Lattice Background in the collection is AWESOME! I paired the background with the wreath and bird from the Wonderful Wreath stamp set and the sentiment is from the Butterfly Notes stamp set (more cards using this set later this week).

And a close up! Look at all the shine from the heat embossing!!!

For my second card, I used the Butterfly Notes stamp set and the Wonderful Wreath stamp set for the sentiment. The products in the collection work beautifully together.

How about a sparkly butterfly? Nothing is better than a sparkly butterfly! HA HA!

    Oh my goodness, I love your cards. I am so excited to get this box so I can use that background stamp! And of course I love vellum, I just think it adds class to anything. I love the butterfly sitting on the notes and the beautiful splatter on the second card.
