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 new Send Happiness Gallery. There is so much inspiration to see! I encourage you to check them out and add your own cards/projects. 


MY CARDS: All products used are listed below in the compensated affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
My first card showcases the adorable octopus from the Tenta-Cuddles stamp set. I love how he's hugging his sweet, little fish friend! I used Copic markers to color the images and Distress Oxide Inks for the background.


Next up is a stencil called, Starburst. I used bright yellow and orange to create a fun, celebratory card.


And who doesn't love Simon's filigree dies?! They've got this beautiful new one called, Filigree Message Rounded Rectangle. I used all the colors of the rainbow to create a simple but pretty effect. And the sentiment is from the new, Happy Reverse Sentiment Strips.


This next card showcases the fabulous Chunky Love You die set. It's big and bold and fabulous. I felt it needed an equally fabulous background, so I used some purple and blue Alcohol Inks to create one. The other sentiments are again from the Happy Reverse Sentiment Strips.



And last but not least is the Be a Mermaid stamp set. This set is so fun! It includes a couple of mermaid tails, bubbles, a few shells, waves and fun sentiments too, to help you create some wonderful scenes!

Okay, that's it for me. I hope I've given your some fun ideas on how to use some of the new products from this awesome release! Don't forget to check out Simon's blog tomorrow for day 2 of the hop! Thank you so much for stopping by!
