Simon Says Stamp Pure Sunshine Blog Hop!...with a GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone!


Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Pure Sunshine Blog Hop! You should be arriving from the fabulous Suzanne Dahlberg's blog. If this is your first stop you'll want to begin at the Simon Says Stamp Blog so you don't miss out on any of the fun!

I have to say, Simon Says Stamp has done it again with their Pure Sunshine Release!

Here it is...

Stamps:



Dies:


Stencils:



Combos:


So many great new products! Simon sent me a couple of new goodies to play with and here's what I came up with.

For my first card I used the fabulous new Simon Says Stamp 6x6 Gingham Stencil with Distress Inks and Mini Ink Blending Tools to make a masculine birthday card. I love this pattern and think I should host a picnic just so I can use it with red ink to make invitations that look like picnic tablecloths. :)



Supplies:




For my second card I used the fun new Simon Says Stamp 6x6 Grid Background Stamp. I white heat embossing the image and colored/ painted all the squares using Inktense watercolor pencils. The Simon Says Stamp Big Hello die cut and strip of cardstock at the bottom were both cut from Simon Says Stamp Black Cardstock. Once completed, the entire card was colored using a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker.


Supplies:



Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a goody bag to one commenter on every blog in the hop. That's 15 different chances to win! The giveaways for the goody bags will close at 6:00 pm EST on Thursday May 22, 2014. A complete winners list will be posted on the Simon blog on Friday May 23, 2014.

I'm the last stop on the hop! I hope you've had as much fun as we have! Just a reminder that the full Pure Sunshine Release can be found HERE!
Thanks for stopping by!
Sarah
