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, Rain or Shine Gallery. There is so much inspiration to see! I encourage you to check them out and add your own cards/projects as well!

MY CARDS:

I had lots of fun playing with some of the new products from this fun release! My first card uses an adorable, little stamp set called Happy Bee Day. I colored the image with Copics before fussy cutting and adhering it to my embossed background. So bright and happy!

Up next is the sweet, Rain or Shine stamp set. I again colored the images with Copics, fussy cut them out and adhered them to my ink-blended background. Such a darling set!

For my third card, I used the Cubical Illusion embossing folder. It's such a cool folder and I really wish you could see the dimension, but after coloring each one of the squares, (yes I did) it's hard to see the raised areas. Hopefully you get the idea. The sentiment is from the Thank You Basics stamp set.

Last up is an Easter card. I used the Pepita Background stamp and the Bouncy Happy Easter die set. And by the way, Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Inks are perfect for any kind of stamping you want to do! I love them!

I hope I've given you a few ideas for using some of the products from this fantastic release! 

Thank you so much for stopping by! Enjoy the rest of the hop!
