Simon Says Stamp Blossoms and Butterflies Blog Hop

April 12, 2019

Simon Says Stamp Blossoms and Butterflies Blog Hop

Hi everyone and welcome to Day 1 of the Blossoms and Butterflies release blog hop with Simon Says Stamp! There are a host of brand new releases full of blooms and butterflies and other springtime goodness and today I’m sharing a few of those new products with you!

The card I’m sharing today is, oh, how does one say it in Minnesota? Oh right, it’s oh for cute!

This card features the brand new Lotus Frame along with a sentiment from my new Tabbed Sentiments 2 stamp set. While my Tabbed Sentiments 2 are designed to work with my Simple Tab dies, they also work great as standalone sentiments! My card today is really clean and simple and features a bit of patterned paper in place of ink blending or other color mediums. I don’t think I’ve done many card with patterned paper and this has inspired me to look at my paper collection going forward!

Here’s my video showing you how I created this simple card project:

Thanks so much for watching, and now… onto the blog hop details!

    What a pretty and intricate die…I love the idea of stacking dies like these (and word dies, too) for that little pop! You made you card quite quickly with the design paper…fantastic!
    Thanks, Cathy, for spending your crafty time with us and for us! 🙂
