Simon Says Stamp Summer Release Blog Hop!! ...and a GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone!




Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Summer Release Blog Hop! (You should be arriving from the super sweet Lorraine (Lols) Aquilina's blog). I am so excited to be participating! Simon and his crew of talent have hit it out of the ball park with this release!


Wowzers, right!?!? Lots of new favourites for me and I used just a few of them for today's hop. :)

Let's get started... I LOVE this little skunk and just had to make 'her' all pink and flowery. I thought the Sunshine die behind her (cut out of the note card and backed with patterned paper) helped draw the eye to the sweet little stinker. ;)


Supplies:


For this next card I used the new Simon Says Stamp Flat Bottom Clouds die to cut out a rainbow of colors. I thought they looked like fun funky scallops when placed upside down... and the sentiment is a combination of two from the new Inside and Out Sayings stamp set.


Supplies:


My final card uses possibly my very favourite item from this new release, the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Full Card Hexagons die. A few days before these goodies found their way to my house I came across THIS BLOG POST with these pictures...



...and I was totally inspired to make this:




I used the Two Tier Folded Banner die, but shortened it to make a one tier banner.

Supplies:



We all know a Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop just isn't a blog hop without a giveaway! Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a grab bag filled with stamps, papers, and embellishments to one randomly selected commenter on every blog in the hop! You have until Thursday, June 6th at 9:00 pm to enter. Winners will be announced on the Simon Says Stamp blog Friday, June 7th.

Thanks for stopping by! Your next stop is the talented Jo Nevill's blog. If you come across any broken links along the hop you can find the full list of participants at the Simon Says Stamp blog. Happy hopping!

I'm so glad to be subscribed to your blog and get your card making goodness in my email. LOL Great cards. That first card is stinkin' cute! I love how you die cut right into the card base. The layered clouds really pop on the white base card in the second. I have to agree, that wall on pinterest is so cool, especially translated into your 3rd card. I will be purchasing that hexagon die very soon!
