MY CARDS:
All products used are listed below in the compensated affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
Let's start with some flowers, shall we? Because you all know they're my favorite and this fun-to-color cling stamp called, So Beautiful, is no exception! I colored it with Copic markers and added some black and white splatters for a bit more texture.
This next card showcases the awesome, Hibiscus Bloom die. I simply cut it out and added color with my Copics. A bit of shading in the background helps it pop even more. The sentiment is from the Hexagon Greetings stamp set.
And speaking of the Hexagon Greetings set, here are two cards I created using the stamp set and matching die. The first one is a simple but colorful card. I cut lots of hexagons from white cardstock and added colors using Distress Oxide Inks, before stamping the three sentiments, which are from the stamp set. Then I just popped them all up on foam tape and adhered them to the card base.
Then I got my Alcohol Inks out and had some fun making a slimline card!
And my last card uses my favorite product from this release. The Crafty Bunnies stamp set is seriously adorable! The different scenes you could create with this set are endless! I colored all the images with Copics, then did lots of fussy cutting. I also created a handmade frame to add to the wall because crafty friends really ARE the best! I cut little slits in the craft cart so I could add the smaller images inside the shelves of the cart.

So many amazing new products! I love Simon Says and the designers on the blog hops because they inspire me to create. Thank you.
That hexagon greeting set is amazing. I didn`t want to spend more on craft stuff as I bought too much during self isolation.But I simply can`t resist this set. A big shout out to Simon Says stamp:please bring out a die that cuts that hexagon shape into triangles!
