Happy to be celebrating another fabulous release today from Simon Says Stamp! This new Send Happiness release is chock full of so much fun. I have few cards to share with you today. Before I do that, I want to point out that there are some special shopping codes in the graphic at the top of this post for you to pick out your choice one of four awesome enamel pins when you shop during the Send Happiness Blog Hop! This promotion will expire on 6/29 at 11:59 pm EDT :)
You should have arrived here from the blog of the amazingly talented Barb Engler...
I know I shared this first one on Instagram yesterday (if you are not following me there I'd love for you to follow me @cheiron) but this new Lil' Critters Dachshund die is so adorable I had to share it here :) I've combined it with the Heart to Heart Background which I stamped and embossed in clear embossing powder onto red cardstock and added a sentiment from the Get Well Sentiment Strips. I cut the Lil' Dachshund from Distress Watercolor Cardstock and inked over the die cut with Tea Dye and Vintage Photo Distress Inks.
If you like flowers you are going to love this GORGEOUS Poppies Background. For this card, stamped and embossed the poppies with Ranger Liquid Platinum Embossing powder. Then I painted in flowers in with watercolors and added the CZ Design With Sympathy sentiment that was cut from white cardstock and Tim Holtz Metallic Kraft Core cardstock and a few clear droplets.
For my next card, I used the Mermaid Scales stencil and went through it with some of my favorite colors of Distress Inks and then again with some Gina K White Glitz Glitter gel. I finished the card with a bold and simple HBD die from CZ Design.
For my last card, I used the new CZ Design Happy Days Stamps and stamped and paper pieced the stamp in rainbow colors. I placed the cut out over a white background where I stenciled texture paste through the Geo Leaves stencil with some Tim Holtz Translucent Grit Paste.
What are you favorites from this release? I hope you will create with them and share your creations in the Send Happiness gallery.
