Simon Says Stamp Pure Sunshine Release Blog Hop!


Welcome to the Pure Sunshine Release Blog Hop from Simon Says Stamp!  There are so many new products releasing today.......stamps, dies, and stencils.  I have many favorites among the new products and I'll share a few at the end of this post!  Remember you can use my link on my sidebar to go shopping if you see something you like!  :)  ------------->>>>>>


I am so excited to share my project for the Pure Sunshine Release......You can check out all the new stamps/dies/stencils HERE!  But first.....you must hop along because there are goody bags up for grabs!

I used the Bubble Parade Die to create a rainbow effect on the die with Copics.  I started by scribbling the Copic colors I wanted onto white cardstock, blending them as I went across my paper.  The Bubble Parade Die was then diecut from this paper.....giving my diecut a rainbow effect.  (below is a sample.....the actual scribbled area was much longer to accomodate the full die)
Copics: R27, YR68. Y35, YG67, B24, V06

5.16.14#4

My background circles were left over from diecutting the Bubble Parade Die multiple times.  Those circles were colored in with the Copics listed above and layered behind the Bubble Parade Die which was die cut several times and glued together for dimension.

5.16.14#2

I love the handwritten look to the font in the Thought Bubble stamp set (hint.....there are coordinating dies for that set and I'm in LOVE!)  I did have to cut apart a stamp to make my sentiment here :)  As a last detail, I added lots of Sparkling Clear 4mm/6mm Sequins from Pretty Pink Posh.  These are my FAVORITE sequins!!!!  

5.16.14#3 

Did I mention "goody bags"?  Yes!  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!  So leave your comments!!!  The giveaways for the goody bags will close at 6:00pm EST on Thursday May 22, 2014.

So sit back and enjoy the hop!!  It's Friday!

Amy Kolling---->you are here! 

Here are a few of my favorite new things from the Pure Sunshine Release:

Thanks so much for sharing a part of your day with me!
