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...
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!
