Simon Says Stamp Moments in Time Blog Hop ~ Day 1

I'm so happy to be participating in day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Moments in Time blog hop.  I am sharing a couple of projects for this fun hop. Don't miss the special offer for the blog hop today👇👇
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 and announced on June 4th. Each comment you leave will be an entry into the drawing. 👉PLEASE NOTE: 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! 
First up is a color filled project featuring the new Dainty Floral Vine and the new Giggle Hugs die.
I die cut a panel of white cardstock using the wonky stitched rectangles dies to fit an A2 size card base to leave a bit of a white border. I then used distress inks to blend the top and bottom corners of the panel. I adhered that to the card base. Next, I die cut the vine and flowers and colored them using copic markers.
I then die cut the Hugs die from white cardstock and again I used copic markers to add color to the sentiment in a gradient. I adhered everything to the ink blended panel with foam squares for a bit of dimension and added some sequins for a little sparkle.
Up next is a really fun card using the new Bold Flower dies to create a look of abstract blooms cut from white and orange cardstock. I cut the leaves from light green cardstock. I then die cut the Giggle Thank you from white and hot pink cardstock for more color.
I arranged all the blooms and leaves in a random pattern on a panel of yellow cardstock. I adhered them with foam squares. I trimmed down the yellow panel and added it to an A2 size card base made from smooth white cardstock.
I have provided links to 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. For tons more inspiration, check out Day 2 of this Hop and take a look at the Moments in Time gallery. Happy hopping and thanks for stopping by!

    Had technical difficulties leaving a comment - the only way I could get it to work was to go with Anonymous. :( Tried several times using the other ways to post, but it wouldn’t let me. Perhaps removing these technical issues might help others to post more comments?

      Im so sorry. I have been struggling with this issue with this particular blog site for a long time. I've looked into using another one but the costs are just expensive for me. That is why I ask for a name along with a comment so we can contact you for the giveaway. Thank you for your feedback.
