Hi everyone! Welcome to my blog. Today we are having a little blog hop to celebrate and give you inspiration for the Simon Says Stamp "From All of Us" release.
I've created a couple cards, the first one using the Thanks Scallop border die. I wanted to make an everyday thank you card so I added small flowers and used light tones of papers. You could use this die to create your holiday thank you cards by adding a small tree in place of the flowers.
I die cut a panel of white card stock, added a little piece of pool colored pattern paper just under the "thanks" and used fog card stock as my base to create a top folding card. The flowers are die cut from an older Sizzix die set that I have from Neenah card stock. I colored them with Coral Reef ink using my ink blending tool and topped them off with wood dots.
My next card uses one of the Holiday Watercolor Cards. I painted the card with my Distress inks Peacock Feathers, Peeled Paint, Hickory Smoke, Spiced Marmalade and a touch of Ripe Persimmon.
I did something a little different with the card. Once the panel was dry, I cut out around the snowman and tree then mounted it (with foam tape) to a top folding fog card. I even included the snowballs.
To finish it off, I colored in the small dots and tassels of the scarf and cap with a silver signo pen, then added Rocky candy glitter to the snowballs an d puffy ball of the cap by using a bit of Multi Matte Medium as the glue.
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy the inspiration along your way! Also, be sure to leave comments on all the hop blogs because Simon Says Stamp will be drawing a winner on each stop for a prize package valued at approximately $50!!

Fabulous! Love the pretty scallop edge on the first one! Just lovely!
The snowman card is my favorite!
Shari, you inspire me - always. I love your choice of colours, your designs, and your easy to follow instructions. I have been watching you for many years (not in a creepy sort of way - LOL) and one of your older posts you did making an art journaling page showed me the way to go with my art. I gave up trying to do the dark kind of page because they never worked, and switched over to lighter colours. Thank you!
Both your cards are so pretty Shari. I especially like that new 'thanks die'.
I just love that snowman card, SUPER CUTE!!
Such cute Christmas images and I decided I need that scalloped thank you die the minute I saw it. Thanks for the ideas.
That snowman is a lumpy little dude!
Love the snowman card, great idea cutting it out all together
Love those cards! I'm rather addicted to the coral, blue, and gray color palette and love the simplicity of the first card. I also like the idea of watercolor cards...who doesn't like to paint? Your snowman looks great cut out and popped up on his background card!

Love your cards! Cute snowman!
Beautiful curved scallop edge. Simple and yet so lovely. Snowman is just plain cute!

I love the elegant simplicity of the first card, and how many ways you could use that die throughout the year! I absolutely adore that water colored snowman, and the details you added with the silver gel pen, on the snowballs and the hat just bring it over the top! Thank you for the great ideas and bringing a smile to my face on a bad day!
Both of your cards are beautiful, I especially love the thanks card, love how the stitching line and words blend so perfectly.
