CARDS:
All products used are listed below in the compensated affiliate links, at no extra cost to you.
My first two cards are from "Suzy's Spring and Easter Wishes Watercolor Prints" and I love them! If you have never tried these coloring cards, you're missing out! They are preprinted and can be used with any coloring medium, including watercolors, Copic markers, color pencils, etc. I used Copics on both cards. Love this pretty pot of flowers!
Is this bunny cute or what?!
Next up is the cutest stamp set! Gnomes are all the rage right now and these "Spring Gnomes" are so adorable! I white embossed them and used Zig Markers to watercolor the images.
I don't love how this next card turned out but I'm excited to give this stencil set another try, with some pink shades. It's called, "Layered Tulips and it's really fun to play with! I just don't love my color choices but wanted to share it anyway. The sentiment is a fun one, isn't it? It's from the, "Just Because Word Mix 2" stamp set.
Okay, this, "Inlaid Crosses" die set is so gorgeous! There are so many different ways to use them. I chose a simple lavender color, along with some glitter cardstock and I love the way it turned out! The sentiment is from an older Simon set.
My final card is very clean and simple. I used another beautiful stencil called, "Daisy Bouquet." I blended some Simon inks through the stencil and the sentiment is another one from the "Just Because Word Mix 2" set.
That's it for me! I hope I gave you some inspiration and ideas for this awesome release!
Don't forget day 2 of the hop is tomorrow, so stop by the Simon blog for the beginning of Saturday's hop.

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.
