Hello lovelies, I am excited to be part of the Simon Says Stamp Latest release Fluttering By blog hop.

If you haven't checked out the latest release it can be found here, I will also link to individual products at the end of this post.
Also make sure you check out day 1 of the hop here.
If you are hopping along you should have arrived here from the lovely Rubeena Ianigro and the next stop on the hop from here is the talented Lea Lawson
I have several cards to share with you today. This was definitely one of my favourite Simon releases...I know, I know I say that every time.
The first card I am sharing is created using the new Centre Cut Burst Rubber Stamp. This is large background style stamp, but the centre can be removed and used for a number of different looks. I LOVE this idea and love that it means you get more choices for your money.
I used just the centre part of the stamp along with Distress Oxides Inks and stamped onto some Neenah Desert Storm card stock, I overlapped the stamping and went in a rainbow type order. I then used one of the stamps from the new Under The Sea Animals Stamp set for the sentiment. To finished off I added some clear droplets.

For the next card I used the Make Your Mark Stamp set & Happy Birthday Script die.

I really like that with that set you can create borders and patterns but they have also included some circle layering type stamps, they was really fun to use to create this quick birthday card. I also used the new Happy Birthday Script die and die cut it from some Gold card stock and adhered into a vellum circle. I cannot wait to play around more with this stamp set.
As soon as I saw the Under The Sea Animals I knew I wanted to make a note card set.
This set is insanely cute and fun.
All the elements were coloured with Polychromo Pencils and i fussy cut them out (coordinating dies are avalible but i don't have them yet).
For the background on each image I used Distress inks to create the "sea" and "sand" looks and added some water droplets.
I wanted to keep the cards fairly CAS so I stamped the sentiments straight onto the main piece using Simon's Black Ink.
To finish each card off I added some white gel pen details and I couldn't resist adding some googly eyes on a couple of them.
This snail is my favourite, totally love him and he was so fun to colour. I just couldn't resist adding some googly eyes to him.
Now onto the hop details.
Simon is very kindly giving away a $25 gift card for each stop on the hop.
Simon will randomly pick the winners over the weekend and announce them on the Simon Says Stamp Blog next Wednesday.

ReplyDeleteThe centre cut stamps are so interesting. The multiple looks you get with the same stamp are fun to play with
ReplyDeleteall of these cards are amazing but stamping with the oxide inks wowzers!
ReplyDeleteOh my! Those cards are perfect! The whole release is amazing!
ReplyDeleteThose under the sea cards are so cute. I’m so glad there are hops like this, because some of the products I wouldn’t consider buying, until I see someone’s designs.
ReplyDeleteLove these! I'm glad they're making more of the center cut stamps, they're so cool. I love the way you used different colors to stamp the center burst, very pretty. The pop of gold on the birthday card is lovely, and those little sea creature cards are just adorable.
ReplyDeleteLove your cards today! The Under the Sea Animals are so adorable. I love your set of cards.
ReplyDeleteWOW Tracy, you have been one busy lady! Well done on all counts! I have definitely got to break out my Oxides, you have given me too many ideas to execute in one day. LOL Thanks so much for all of the inspiration!

ReplyDeleteWOW! Tracy, your array of cards are sensational showcases of the new release! Your Center Burst card is lovely; the birthday, beautiful! The sea creatures set, however, is what really catches my eye! I'm smitten with the images, dazzled by your colouring and delighted that you've given them star billing on the stage. The snail with the googly eyes...ACK! Adorable! Thank you for the inspiration and, especially, the smiles!
ReplyDeleteHugs~carol

ReplyDeleteThe burst stamp is a really versatile stamp and you have showcased it well. The sea creatures are darling and love the sentiments.
ReplyDeleteI really like the star element from the large new background stamp. It looks great with the Distress Oxide ink colors on the kraft. (I had wondered how the new ink would stamp as I've basically seen it with ink blending until now.) And I think the Happy Birthday die looks AMAZING cut out of the gold. The sea-themed cards are absolutely darling!!!
ReplyDeleteLots of lovely card designs here, I like them all! I have to say, the second card is my favourite, though - I really like your colour combo and the design!
ReplyDeleteNice showcase of new items! I lean toward 2 piece background stamps. Your multi distress oxide ink colors on kraft colored paper are inspiring. I see all the 2 piece background stamps being used this way.
