Catherine Pooler Designs:: Tropically Yours Stamp of Approval

Have you heard of the limited edition collections offered by Catherine Pooler Designs called Stamp of Approval?! Past releases have been spectacular and this one is just as spectacular and truly tons of fun-it might be my favorite one yet!





Let me help introduce the Stamp of Approval Tropcially Yours Collection! The Stamp of Approval Tropically Yours is an exclusive collection. Tropically Yours products were designed exclusively for this box, are brand new and won't be available separately for a number of months.





This happy box is jam packed full of items that are perfect for sun lovers and beach goers and everyone that likes to create tropical things! I really love how all the items and add-ons of the collection work so well together. 








My first card features a few of the new items. I first inked up an Ultra Smooth White Cardstock (Affiliate links used when possible) panel with Lime Rickey Ink, then stamped the Canvas Grunge Background Stamp with Grass Skirt Ink over the background. I then placed the add-on dies, Leave Me in Paradise Dies, on top of the panel in a random array and die cut them. On a white card base, I stamped the corresponding leaves from the Leave Me in Paradise Stamp Set with the new Coral Cabana Ink. I finished the card with a hand-cut fishtail sentiment strip stamped with a sentiment from the Tropically Yours Stamp Set in Midnight Ink.





For this next beachy, encouraging card, I started by inking up a white cardstock panel with Limoncello, Orange Twist and Coral Cabana Inks. I distressed it with some water and heat embossed the large, awesome sentiment from the Fearless Pursuit Stamp Set. I then stamped and clear heat embossed a couple of palm trees, also from Fearless Pursuit, onto Midnight Cardstock, and then die cut them with the corresponding add-on Fearless Pursuit Dies. 



This next card is a clean and simple technique card that features the awesome Cabana Tiles Dies and Stand Tall Stamp Set (for the sentiment).





I die cut the hexagons from the Cabana Tiles Dies in black paper, added vellum to the back and colored it in with copics for a stained glass look. I finished with a sentiment from Stand Tall.



The last card I am showcasing today is a one layer card that packs a party punch! 





I started with a card base made from the Ultra Smooth White Cardstock, masked off a portion in the center with post-it tape and then stamped the beautiful leaves and hibiscus flowers from the Tropically Yours Stamp Set with Limoncello, Orange Twist, Party Dress, Coral Cabana, and Tuiti Fruiti inks. I removed the mask and stamped a fun border from the Good Vibes Stamp Set with Midnight Ink. I finished the card with a sentiment, also from the Good Vibes Stamp Set.
