Welcome back to my blog! I'm so excited to be a part of day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Hey Bestie and Love You More releases blog hop!

And what a fun idea to combine both releases into one blog hop! Most of my cards today only use the Hey Bestie products but I'll share some older cards I created too, from the Love You More release, which was launched back in December.

SIMON GALLERIES:
Did you know Simon has card galleries for each of their releases and their card kits, and even a video gallery? It's true and you can add your very own cards and projects to these galleries! Here's a link to all the Simon Brand Galleries and here's the link to the Love You More release gallery and the Hey Bestie release gallery. There is so much inspiration to see! I encourage you to check them out and add your own cards/projects.
CARDS:
Okay, let's get to my cards. I had so much fun playing with the awesome products from this release! It's filled with so many fabulous and fun items that I know you'll all love!
Products used are listed below in the compensated affiliate links, at no cost to you.
My first card uses the gorgeous, Be Kind stamp set. I adore this set! It has some beautiful leaf images, along with wonderful sentiments. I used Zig Markers on the white embossed leaves.
Up next is another card using the same, Be Kind set. This time I used Copic Markers for a brighter look. I also used the new, Miss You die set.
Next is the gorgeous, Snowflake Mandala die. This die is a biggie, guys and so intricate! I used Simon's silver glitter paper to cut it out and I love the sparkly look! And do ya see that sentiment? It's from the Miss You Reverse Sentiment Strips set.
I love this next stamp set. It's called Lifting Hearts and it's absolutely adorable! I mean, who doesn't love bunnies, mice and turtles floating up in the air with balloons?! Gah! Copic Markers were used for the coloring.
The Etched Snowflake Background cling stamp is a beauty! I created two, very different cards with it. There are lots of techniques you could use with this one, for sure! I first white embossed the image onto some glittery blue cardstock, cut it apart into strips, then adhered them to a white cardbase. I've added the You Are Loved die set for the sentiment. It's from the Love You More release.
Okay, here's my last card from the Hey Bestie release. I again used the Etched Snowflake Background cling stamp but this time, after white embossing it onto some watercolor cardstock, I added color with my Daniel Smith watercolors. I love this pretty combo of peach and aqua! The sentiment is from the same, Miss You die set I used above but this time I included the matching background die.
And here are a few cards I created, back in December for the Love You More release.
