Simon Says Stamp Favorite Things Blog Hop - Day 1

I'm so happy to be participating in day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Favorite Things blog hop. If you are looking for some Easter/Spring inspiration, you have come to the right place. I have created 3 projects for the blog hop today! 
Special offer for this blog hop! Just follow the steps 👇👇to receive your free gift with a $50 purchase
This first card features the new Springtime Celebration Plate. I die cut it from white cardstock and popped out the images. I colored them with copics and put them back like a puzzle to create this fun background.
My next project features the Decorated Eggs Wafer dies. I die cut the eggs and decor all out of scraps of colored cardstock and arranged them in a wreath pattern on the new Wavy Ways 3d embossed background. I then added the new Blessed die cut from gold cardstock. 
 
For my last project, I decided to use the new Basic Shapes Circle dies to create a shape card featuring the Bundled Bunny die. I used distress inks and copic markers to color the background and images on this project.
Simon is also giving away a $25 shopping spree to a lucky winner! The winner will be picked from the comments left along the hop. Each comment you leave will be an entry into the drawing. 
REMEMBER: If you want to leave a comment on this post, make sure you include your name so we can reach you if you are selected for the giveaway! I have provided the talented participants in this hop below as well as a list of all the supplies I used to make the projects I shared today. Happy hopping and thanks for stopping by!

    Hi Barbara,

    You might think this weird of me to say, but I must say that even though I generally like video tutorials, I appreciated you NOT having a video tutorial for these cards, as I am pressed for time. It was nice to just read for a change and all of your cards are lovely, but I love the one you made with the Springtime Celebration Plate the most. Thank you for taking the time to share your creations with us.

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the STAMPtember blog party! Happy 15th anniversary!! Check out this exclusive promotion for stopping by today!!👇👇 I have created a couple of projects to share using some of the amazing goodies from the new Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember release. I created this card with an A2 card base made from smooth white cardstock. I then trimmed down a panel of Yupo paper to create an autumnal background using alcohol inks. When it was dry I trimmed it down to fit the card base leaving a bit of a white border. I then die cut a frame from white cardstock and added to the card with liquid glue. I then die cut the new Fancy Just Because die from more white cardstock. The butterflies were cut from matte gold cardstock using the new Ooh La La Butterflies die and adhered with a glue dot in the middle so their wings could pop up. The next project I made also began with an A2 size card base made from smooth white paper. I then trimmed down another piece of...

I'm so happy to be sharing inspiration for the Simon Says Stamp DieCember blog party! Be sure to take advantage of the  exclusive promotion for this blog party👇👇  I'm one of those rare people that begins to decorate for Christmas until after Thanksgiving. Using the new Ornate Star die I created ornaments for my little flocked Christmas tree. I feel like I could make a dozen of these easily! I die cut the Ornate Star die once from gold cardstock and once from silver cardstock. I then glued the die cut stars on to silver and gold glitter paper. I weighted it with a large acrylic block to help the stars adhered firmly to the glitter cardstock. When the adhesive was dry I used a craft knife to cut out the stars from the glitter cardstock. I then die cut the Merry Christmas sentiment from red metallic cardstock and white cardstock and adhered together for thickness and glued them carefully to the stars as to not have a glob of glue mess up the shine of the metallic cardstock. I...
