Hop dignity dog!!! This release makes me feel like Spring may really come and free us from the dreaded Winter freeze!
The HOP TO IT release is full of Springy things like a Raindrops Stencil, Kite and Umbrella Dies, Crosses and Easter sentiments, Workout Girls, and Abby with her bear and bunny!
I've created a couple cards to highlight a few of my favorite items from the release. First up is "Bear Hugz" using the Abby's Spring Showers stamp set. I'm pretty partial to this little guy… reminds me of my son Brooks for some reason!
I stamped my bear with black ink and broke out my pencils to color him. I happen to think he's adorable!!!
I've shot a video of the coloring process, you can see it below or on my YouTube Channel HERE.
I sped it up and put if to music for you. :o)
My next card uses the Rejoice stamp set with a nice combinations of blues and green.
I die cut a cross from my stamped panel and lifted it up with a bit of dimensional foam and used the Easter die as part of my greeting.
PRIZE PACK GIVEAWAY!!
Each stop on the hop will receive a Simon Says Stamp Prize pack randomly selected by Simon on February 23. Be sure to comment on each post the way for more chances to win!!
I have all my supplies below along with the entire release. Thanks for hopping by, your next stop is to the amazing, talented (and my friend) Kristina Werner!
