Falling for You Release Blog Hop!


Baby2 

Hello!  
I'm so excited and honored to share in the fun again with the newest release for Simon Says Stamp called Falling for You for their largest blog hop ever!  A MEGA blog hop!
You should have arrived from the sweet Paulina Nakamura!


So many cute goodies for this release!  Check them out HERE.  

I have 2 cards to share today and then I'll let you get moving along the next stop which is Penny Ward.  All the products are linked in the thumbnails below.

My first card is using this ADORABLE Baby Party Animals stamp set.  How can this set get any cuter???

I started out by diecutting a panel with Frames dies from Simon Says Stamp using white and Khaki cardstock.  To my white panel, I stamped the new background cling stamp Falling Stars with Seaglass Ink and then again using Versamark.  Then using some WOW Silver Pearl Embossing Powder, I heat set the stars to give them some sheen.  I then diecut the rounded square from Lunch Box Notes in the center of my star panel.

I white heat embossed the word "BABY" inside the rounded square and stamped some hearts below.  I added this cute cute Copic colored monkey with foam adhesive and have him holding the "welcome" banner!  

Baby

***************************************

If you follow me over on Instagram, then you may have seen a teeny tiny sneak of this next card.  I went with all rainbow colors!  This uses the new Circle Dots Stencil.  Here, I taped my stencil over a trimmed white panel and sponged Schoolhouse Red, Orange Peel, Sunshine, Green Apple, Island Blue, and Lavender inks from Simon Says Stamp over the stencil masking off sections as needed.  

HappyBirthday

I stamped the circular sentiment, Sending Happy Thoughts, from the new Circle Sayings stamp set inside and outside some of the rainbow dots.  This panel was added to my Island Blue Cardstock panel with foam adhesive.  A "Happy Birthday" sentiment from Circle Sayings was white heat embossed onto a strip of Island Blue cardstock, trimmed at an angle, and layered with a black banner.  A few Sparkling Clear sequins from Pretty Pink Posh were added for shine!

HappyBirthday2

Now onto the rest of the MEGA hop.........ya know, because there are prizes at EVERY STOP!
Your next stop is over to the talented Penny Ward!

Each stop on the hop will receive a Simon Says Stamp Prize pack randomly selected by Simon on April 28!!!!!  

Thanks for sharing a part of your day with me!
