Tim Holtz Coordinating Dies Blog Hop With Simon Says Stamp!

Hi friends!

I'm so excited to be a part of this fun blog hop, showcasing the new dies from Simon Says Stamp that coordinate with some of your favorite Tim Holtz and Stampers Anonymous stamp sets! If you'd like to start at the beginning of the hop, head over to Simon's blog here.

LIVE CLASS:

Before I share my cards, I want to make sure you know about the free, live, YouTube class that Tim Holtz will be teaching on Simon's channel!

This awesome, Holiday Collage class will air live tomorrow, Friday, July 11 at noon Eastern Time. If you didn't buy the class kit, I encourage you to go ahead and watch the class anyway. Tim is an amazing teacher and you can follow along with products you already have in your stash! Here is a link to Simon's YouTube Livestream. I can't wait to watch!

MY CARDS:

I've got quite a few cards to share today. I created one card for each of the new, coordinating dies. I previously shared some of them on my Instagram feed but wanted to post them here too. You may have seen some of these but I am sharing a couple of new ones too.

Let's showcase the butterflies first because who doesn't love butterflies?! For this card I used the Perspective stamp set and coordinating die set. 

Up next is the Flutter stamp and die set.

Here's one more butterfly card. This stamp and die set is called Papillon.

And it wouldn't be a summer release without some flowers! This next card showcases the Wildflowers stamp and die set.

For these next two cards, I used the Mini Bouquet stamp set. This set has two different coordinating dies. For this card, I used the one called Mini Bouquet Silhouettes.

And for this card, I used the die set called Mini Bouquet Outlines.

Lastly, I created a cute, colorful tag in rainbow colors with the Ornate Trims stamp and die set.

That's it from me. I hope I've given you some inspiration for using these fabulous dies! They cut so easily and coordinate so beautifully with Tim's stamp sets! 

I'm the last stop on the hop. I hope you enjoyed it! Thank you so much for stopping by! Don't forget about Tim's live, YouTube class tomorrow!

Happy creating!

MY CARDS:

I've got just a few cards for you today. I didn't create as many as I usually do but I'm hoping you'll enjoy the ones I did make.

First up is this sweet stamp set called, Happy Day. I used some of Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Inks to create a warm, summery card. I added a gold frame and sentiment to give it a bit more interest.

My next card is a fun one with lots of texture. I used the Dot Spiral embossing folder, blending lots of inks together in different shades of blue and teal. The sentiment is a new die set called, Solo Smile and I love it! I used some sparkly cardstock on the shadow portion of the die, and I also added a couple of white, circle die cuts for some contrast.

My third and final card for today is a cute, underwater scene. This stamp set is so adorable and is called, Undersea Friends. I did not have the matching dies, so after coloring the images, I fussy cut each one before adhering them to my ink-blended background.

Okay, that's it for me. I sure hope I've given you a bit of inspiration for using some of the products from this fantastic release! Enjoy the rest of the hop and thanks so much for stopping by!
