Simon Says Stamp "My Favorite" Blog Hop with GIVEAWAY!

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.







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. 

What's a blog hop without PRIZES?!?! Simon will be giving away a Simon Goody bag on every stop of the hop! All you have to do is leave comments along the way! Simon will randomly draw the winners and contact them via email. Winner will be chosen Monday, April 26th.

Thanks so much for stopping by! The next stop on the hop is the fabulous Amy Rysavy!

Your cards are super - especially love the fun shaker card !!!

Unknown said...

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.

Fran Smith said...

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.

Paulette S said...

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
