More from the Beautiful Moments release

Welcome to Day 2 of a Blog Hop for the Beautiful Moments Release from Simon Says Stamp. Today I’m sharing two spring cards featuring some of the new products from both the Simon Says Stamp release and my CZ Design collection.

For the first card, I used the Leaf Spin Embossing Folder to create that beautiful texture on white card stock. Then I used the Embellished Bunny along with my new With Love die set.

For my second card, I used my Easter Grid stamps & dies and popped that little chickie onto a charm spinner!

While I don’t have a tutorial for this video, you can see them in the short Instagram Reel. Click on the image below to watch in Instagram.

Now for the blog hop special:

This is a stamp set I designed and there both coordinating dies available AND a Clover Shaker Die set, that is designed just for these fun sentiments.

I have a short Reel for this set, too!

    Leave it to you to remind me to “think outside the box” I loved the new Leaf Spin embossing folder at first glance, however when I first saw it my mind went to how fabulous it would be to use to emboss a card panel, either as a supporting cast behind a focal image OR to be the focal image with just an added sentiment and now along comes you to point out to me that by cropping it you’ve totally flipped the script. It is FABULOUS trimmed down as you did it for the panel on your bunny card or with a smaller crop for the shaped panel behind your little chick image (PERFECT to send a gal pal to let her know you’re thinking about her) THANKS Cathy Z for reminding me “CROPPING” can totally change, make, or transform an embossed panel as well as a non-embossed panel. YOU are the Queen of thinking outside the box and that is what keeps me coming back. Thanks Cathy Z, spectacular cards !!!!

    That’s great. I met amazing partner online at https://www.nastyhookups.com/black-hookup.html recently. This site completely changed my mind. The platform is easy to use and offers a great variety of matches based on my preferences. I liked how I could take my time to get to know someone through chat before meeting in person. The messaging system felt safe and respectful, and I never felt pressured. I’m really glad I gave it a try
