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, Every Happiness release. There is so much inspiration to see! I encourage you to check them out and add your own cards/projects as well!

MY CARDS:

First up is this fun stamp and stencil set called Squeeze You. It also comes with a matching die set. I didn't have the dies, so I fussy cut the image after stamping and using the stencils to add some color. I used one of the smaller, cut lemon images to create a subtle background.

For my next card, I used a really cool die called Desert Horizon. I simply inked each die cut piece with different ink colors. Imagine the possibilities! 

My third card showcases the beautiful Flower Medley embossing folder. This time I watercolored the images with Zig Markers. The sentiment is from the Cut Word Mix 1 die set.

Last but not least is the adorable stamp set called Woodland Friends. Again, this set comes with matching dies but I didn't have them, so I did some more fussy cutting (which I love to do) - only on a portion of each image. I then paper pieced those portions onto the stamped illustration. You will fall in love with all the images in this set! 😊 

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope I've given you a few ideas for playing with some of the products in this awesome release! Enjoy the rest of the hop and don't forget to check out day two of the hop tomorrow, starting on Simon's blog!

Happy crafting!
