Welcome to part 2 of the Simon Says Stamp "Encouraging Words" Blog Hop!!!
We're celebrating a new release full of encouraging and kind words.
To inspire you, I've created several cards using stamps and dies from this release.
To start off, I have the silly bear from the Encouraging Animals stamp and die set sitting over stamped Stitched Alpha's HUGS.
Next is the grumpy "Cool Cat" wearing some really stylish glasses also from the
Encouraging Animal stamp and die set. This little guy is set on a quickly watercolor stripe background.
Oh this Kaleidoscope background. The moment I saw it I new I'd want to white emboss it and use my watercolors to paint areas of blues and greens. I die cut the Kindness Matters die from Audrey Blue cardstock, backed it with white and added it the card.
A little space action going on for this next card. I used the Space Journey and Tickle Breeze dies with white cardstock colored with some Copic markers. To keep things simple, I used black cardstock for my sky. I die cut You're a Star from white cardstock and glued it in place to complete the card.
Words of encouragement are so important these days. This message comes from the
Thank You Teacher stamp set simple white embossed on black cardstock set upon some strips of pattern paper.

You have been busy making such wonderful cards with this release. I love them all! I do have a question though if I may? I have been coloring some frames from glasses tonight from an older stamp set, but I cannot figure out how to color them without going outside of the lines. Do you have any suggestions other than stock up on blender fluid to refill my pen? Thanks again for sharing so many great cards for us to see and from which to borrow ideas.
Awesome projects!
So enjoy the "encouraging words" release!
