Hi Everyone!!! Welcome to the last stop of the Simon Says Stamp Reason To Smile Blog Hop!!
I'm so thrilled with this release and can't wait to play more with the new products... especially the felting goodies!!
I've created a few cards with some stamps and dies. I'll start off with the Melody's Easter stamp set and coordinating die set. These designs were inspired by my darling Melody!! I thought it would be fun to design an unenthused bunny and silly lamby!
My tool of choice for coloring are pencils, they allow me to get into tight areas such as hair and the tiny flowers. Blending is easy with a white pencil and you can remove color with an eraser.
Next up is another favorite set of mine because it's unique to use. How it works is that you stamp the pattern swatches with your favorite ink colors, then use the Springtime Shapes dies to create a bunny, easter egg or carrot.
Spring reminds me of clouds, rain and flowers popping up. I've designed a stamp set that's versatile and easy to use for your Spring cards. There are two sizes of clouds in different patterns along with a few greetings and birds.
I'm very attracted to grey and aqua, these colors were screaming cloudy skies! So soft!
My final card uses two stamp sets, the first being Kristina Werner's beautiful flowers with the Choose Happy greetings.
I've white embossed the flower and stem, then watercolored with Distress Inks.
I've used white ink to stamp the desert storm card and added greeting that will bring cheer to anyone!

I think the pattern swatch stamps are just genius! Love it! All of your cards are great but I totally love the cloud card and the reason to smile card. That one in particular makes me happy and sad all at the same time because I was just diagnosed last week with cancer and I don't know which I need more... to apply this to me, or remind my family of this too. But its a beautiful card either way :-)
Your cards give me reasons to smile!
Great cards - I love the coloring on the little girl - her hair is just beautiful!
Loving the cards! The bunny card is adorable! The cloud card is inspirational. The floral card left me with a smile. A perfect ending to the blog hop!
Such a beautiful card. That flower is simple elegance.
