Whooo hooo ! I am super excited today ! Why ? Not only is this my 1000th blog post (whooo hooo again !) but I am here today along with lots of amazing Designers showing off the Simon Says Stamp "This is the Life Release" in an amazing BLOG HOP !
So, welcome to the Hop !
So, welcome to the Hop !
Have you seen the new release yet ? Wow, you just won't believe your eyes ! The Simon Says Stamp releases just get better and better !
Here is the card I have made featuring the brand new Zig Zag Stencil and More Sketchy Banner Greetings Clear Stamp Set.
I was also lucky enough to have some other goodies to play with too. Here I used the new stamp set called "Friendly Flowers" which I stamped using Hero Arts ink daubers. Again, I used the More Sketchy Banners Greetings stamps and heat embossed the sentiment in gold.
Finally, I used the new Triangle Border Die together with another Simon Says Stamp die, "Viola Sprouts". I coloured this with distress markers. The sentiment comes from the "Friendly Flowers" stamp set.
I hope you have enjoyed seeing just a small selection of this fabulous new release ?!
So, here are the vital details you need for hopping !
