Tim Holtz stamps and Simon Says Stamp coordinating dies Blog Hop

I am happy to be participating in the Tim Holtz stamps and Simon Says Stamp coordinating dies blog hop! I always look forward to the new dies that coordinate with Tim's amazing stamp sets. Today I am sharing the new dies for the adorable Tim Holtz Sea Life stamp set.
Super fun and easy card to make! Here are the steps..
Card Base: 8 1/2 X 11 sheet of Fog cardstock cut in half and folder to create a side folding landscape A2 size card base.
Background: I used a quarter sheet of white cardstock and ran it through a stitched rectangle die that would leave a bit of a border.
Focal Point: I chose the seahorse image from the stamp set for my focal point. I stamped the image five times in colors I thought would be different but go together well. I then used the coordinating die to cut them out and added them to the stitched white panel with foam squares.
Sentiment: I chose a sentiment from my stash and stamped it in a gray ink under the seahorses.
I hope you enjoyed the project I made using the new coordinating dies for Tim's stamp sets and got some inspiration. If you would like more inspiration keep hoping, I have added the hop list below. Also, please visit the Gallery with tons more ideas. Thanks so much for stopping by and if you are interested I have included a list with links to all the supplies I used.

Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Blog party . Today I am sharing three fall themed projects using goodies from the STAMPtember release . 👇Special promotion exclusive for this post!👇 The first project features the Twisted Tree Arch die set , Haunted Pumpkin die set and the cute Trick or Treat 2 die. I used a lot of ink blending and die cutting for this project. I used a cloud border stencil and distress ink to create the background. The trees was cut from dark brown cardstock and everything else was cut from white cardstock and colored with distress inks. Next, I used the gorgeous Mod Forest Embossing folder to create the colors of Autumn. I also used the new Be Patient die cut from gold cardstock. I embossed a white piece of cardstock and used a small blender brush to color in the "valley" side of the embossed panel with distress inks and then dragged a brown ink pad directly over the colored trees creating the distressed autumn scene with a few inks splatters. So fun! Last,...
