Hi everyone!
Today I'm honoured to be participating in the Simon Says Stamp My Favorite Release Blog Hop! The fun starts at the Simon Says Stamp blog. If you've been hopping along you should be arriving from the talented Anna-Karin Evaldsson's blog.
Here is Simon's full "My Favorite" Release:
Lots of cute and fun in this release sprinkled with a little sass. :)
I'm sharing two cards today. Here's the first one:
For this first card I used Simon's Retro Thanks Stamps and Dies, using a couple of the dies to create a rainbow background. I then used the matching stamps for my sentiment and to add a few 'embellishments'.
Supplies:
Here's my second card:
I used Simon's fun new Birthday Wishes Frame Die to create a colourful birthday shaker card. The great thing about the sentiment is that it goes across the entire frame so you have multiple pockets for sequins and/or beads.
Thanks so much for stopping by! The next stop on the hop is the fabulous Amy Rysavy!

Love the first card, so fun and colorful! And on the second card I like the frame against the plaid pattern, and how you did the background behind the frame!

Maaaan O Man! Love it! Would be fun to win!
Your cards are amazing. Love the rainbow colors on your first card:)
Awesome cards...love the plaid bday card.
Both cards are so bright and colorful!!! I think the retro card is my favorite though cause its such a clever idea to use that shape for a repeated background!
Your cards are delightful! I love how colorful they are. They will definitely brighten the lucky recipients' day!
Love your cards
Love both your cards!! Of course my favorite is you shaker card just because I love shaker cards & I love the awesome plaid background paper you use!! I do like the "background" you created with the retro set because it is very colorful...but not sure what that stamp is..reminds me of a boomerang!!
I especially love how you did your picture frame card. Very nice use of color. And I really like the separation of sequins. Nice touch!
Both cards were awesome. That boomerang card was like "modern retro" or retro gone modern. Idk. I liked it. And that birthday shaker card was very nice with that plaid. Thanks for sharing.
Really like both cards , but am drawn to the retro one the most as I'm a child of the 60's
Two fantastic designs! Love the first one especially.
Finally another retro card those boomerang are fun but WOW!How did you do that awesome shaker it is sooo pretty I wish you would have made a video of the process, thanks for sharing it anyway.

The retro card is neat, but I love that you placed that birthday die smack in the center of a larger card and, bonus, it's a shaker! Wow. TFS.
Both cards are fantastic, but that shaker card just speaks to me.
Cute cards!
Love your color choices!
Such fun!
Such beautiful cards! I love how you used the items from the release, so very inspiring!
I thought I posted how much I loved our cards, especially using a larger card to center the Birthday Wishes die cut, but I'm not seeing it, so maybe I didn't press Post. TFS

I love how you created the background on your first card! Lot of work with all the die cutting, but so worth it. Such a cool shaker card, too. Love the different colors you got for the background behind the shaker part. ~ Andrea
Superb cards! Adore the shaker one!!!
I love the shaker card with that cool polaroid die! thanks for sharing.

Job well done
Your birthday card is cute!
Love the first card! It made me smile real big!!! And the second, just WOW! I love that plaid paper. I think I could get by with 5 or 6 reams of it, but would probably still hoard it. It just goes with everything fun. Thanks for sharing.
What fun cards! I like the way you inked the happy birthday card.
The background of the first card reminds me of our holiday in australia - it looks like boomerangs. Love the colors.
Very creative use of the retro set - and very colorful. The shaker card is cute also, love your use of color.
Beautiful cards! Very clever how you added the BG colour to your birthday polaroid :)

Love the Polaroid die! Thanks for sharing your talents!
I real enjoy the plaid shaker card--a wonderful combination of elements!
Very fun and colorful card designs.
Very clever with the boomerangs
Your cards are lovely--what creativity!
Awesome cards, Sarah! The bright colors and unique way you used the retro dies, really gives me a new perspective on this set. TFS!
Your cards are super - especially love the fun shaker card !!!
I love how colorful your cards are! I am all about colorful and you didn't disappoint me. Yeah! Today my mom got some of the most beautiful wooden knitting needles from a lady where they go to knit and chat. The lady wasn't their at the yarn shop so the owner gave my mom the needles from her. They are multi colored wood and I think, if I remember correctly from a craft fair where I saw a bowl made out of that wood it's from Africa and very expensive. I told her I would make her a Thank You card to send to this lady when she finds out where she lives and I wish I had that stamp set to try to make your card. She would love it like I do! You also made a shaker card! I have to learn to make one of these cards! They are so beautiful and sparkly! Can you believe I've never made one before? I am going to learn how though and I hope i make one as pretty as yours.
Your first card really took me back to my child hood. So very retro.
The second card, I am crazy about your use of the plaid background. Love both cards. Thank you.
Fun, clever cards!
So cute, love the first card in particular.
Both of your cards are Amazing, Sarah! I love how you wow me with unexpected dies from the release.
Sarah, can you remove my first comment. I forgot to add my correct email address in the body of the comment. Since Google can't/won't edit my dead blogger profile and remove it from my Google account, the email address. On it is long closed, since I moved my blog to WordPress in 2012.
Love how you used these dies from the new release. Great hop. Thanks, craftqueen417 at yahoo
