MY CARDS:

This release is so fun and I loved playing with some of the products! First up is the Quilted Cling Stamp. What a cool stamp this is! I chose to use Copic Markers for a fun and graphic design, but just imagine all the awesome backgrounds you could create with this stamp!

Next up is the adorable, Magical Spring Stamp Set. What a cute set! So fun to color! I did not have the dies, so I fussy cut all the images before adhering them to my ink blended card panel.

For my third card, I used the Mushroom Stems Die Set. Again, colored with Copics. And that sentiment is from the So Sorry Stamp Set.

Last but not least is the Spring Florals Hot Foil Plate. I love this one! It foils so beautifully! I used some blue foil and colored the images with similar blue Coipcs. I left the background plain to really show off those pretty flowers!

And that's it for me! I hope I've given you a few ideas on how to use some of the products from this awesome release! Enjoy the rest of the hop and thanks so much for the visit!

MY CARDS:

I've got three cards to share today, using 6 products I received from the new release. The one thing I didn't get a photo of is Simon's new Storage Envelopes. I LOVE THEM! They are a larger size and very sturdy, durable and so well made. Just wanted you to know that.

Okay, for my first card, I used the darling, Vitamin Sea stamp set. I did not have the coordinating dies, so I fussy cut all the images after coloring them with Copic Markers. Then I adhered them to an ink blended background. This is such an adorable set and so fun to play with!

Up next is the Brush Strokes stencil. I love the possibilities with this product! I paired it with the new, Journaling Sentiment Strips and some pretty inks from Simon, for a rainbow effect on an encouraging card! And to hold my stencil and paper in place, I used the new Stamp and Stencil Mat.

My third and final card uses two more fun products! The Angularium Cling stamp and the Simply Fabulous Die set. It's a simple card but I do love that Seafoam Ink color!

And that's it for me! I hope I've given you a couple ideas for using some of the products from this wonderful release! Don't forget tomorrow is day 2 of the hop, starting on Simon's blog!

Enjoy the rest of today's hop and thank you so much for stopping by!
