Simon Say Stamp Lucky to Know You Release blog Hop - Day

Happy Friday, crafty friends! It's always a happy day when we are celebrating a brand new release from Simon Says stamp, right?! Their latest collection is called Lucky to Know You, and is full of gorgeous Spring themed products! SSS is also giving a cute freebie 3x4 stamp set with purchase purchase using the code WLY777. This is valid until Sunday, 03/08 at 11:59pm or while supplies last.

This is day 1 of the Lucky to Know You Blog Hop, and we've got quite the lineup for you! I will put all of the blog hop details at the end of my post, but how about we get to my card first? Today I've created two lovely Easter cards featuring some of these latest products!

For this first card, I started by heat embossing a background in white using the Diamond Tiles background stamp. Then I ink blended around the edges with Lemon Whip ink, and diecut the entire panel with the largest Stitched Rectangle. Then I mounted the background panel to the front of a white A2 card base.

Next I diecut the Daffodil Stem 4 times: once from glitter paper and three times from white cardstock. The I stacked & adhered the diecut layers with a Zig glue pen. Then I diecut the He is Risen sentiment die from white cardstock three times, and the shadow one time from vellum. I stacked & adhered these as well. Finally, I stamped the teeny sentiment from Clean Lines Faith in black to white cardstock, and trimmed into a thin strip. I put the card together as shown, then accented with the Crystals Mix to finish.

For my next card, I stamped the new Layered Tulips stamp set in the follow ink colors: Fresh Pear, Meadow, Lemon Whip & Coral Reef. I diecut the panel with the largest Stitched Rectangle, then mounted to a yellow A2 card base. Next I diecut the Big Happy die once from glitter paper & twice from white cardstock, then cut cut the shadow from vellum. I stacked the layers together with a Zig glue pen.

I decided I wanted the word Easter from Clean Lines Faith stamped directly to the card front, and I just put the entire card in my MISTI without the foam pad. Then I placed the word Easter, and stamped it like normal in black. I adhered the diecut word Happy to the right of the stamped word, then accented with the Crystals Mix to finish.

That is everything I have for you today! If you have any questions about my card, feel free to leave them in the comments and I will be sure to reply.

That is what I have for you today! How about we get to all the fun blog hop info now?!
