Hello everyone!! I'm back again this morning with my SECOND blog hop (a very busy day today for me lol!) - this time for Day 1 to celebrate Simon Says Stamp's You Are Loved Release!
I already did a Release & Review video on this release here - you can check it out at the link below if you missed it!
Simon Says Stamp You Are Loved Release & Review!
As part of the hop there's a special offer code - use the code LVE584 which will give you a free Tim Holtz Festive Berries Distress Oxide Ink Pad (while supplies last!) with any purchase. This code will expire Sunday, 1/13 at 11:59 pm EST.
Also debuting today is a BRAND NEW set of watercolor prints from Suzy called Simon Says Stamp Suzy's SENDING LOVE Watercolor Prints <-------click to check them out!!
As this is a blog hop I'll have links below to the other designers in the hop, PLUS there will be Day 2 of hopping tomorrow AND there are GIVEAWAYS on both days! More info on that at the end of my post.
I used the new Always & Forever stamp set and coordinating dies to create my cards - one as an anniversary card and one as more of a Valentine's Day card.
I created the watercolor backgrounds on Bee Watercolor paper using my Prima Pastel Dreams watercolor set. I also used the watercolors to color in the lightbulbs:
I added Yellow Wink of Stella to the bulbs and Crystal Glaze to the heart enters.
For the second card I used the new Flourish Background on Simon's Surf Blue card stock and then featured my favorite sentiment from the Always and Forever set on the watercolor panel.
I finished the insides of the cards with more sentiments from the Always and Forever stamp set and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:

Next stop on the hop is Lisa's blog!! <-------click!
And if you missed any of the stops you can find them all here:
I get asked a lot about where to purchase the supplies I use in my videos and blog posts. I list all the supplies I use at the end of my posts (below) or in the description box directly below my video on YouTube.
Compensated affiliate links used when possible at no extra cost to you. Affiliate linking is what keeps my blog and YouTube channel up and running and enables me to work from home and provide for my children! I appreciate your support more than words can say! I occasionally receive product for free from stores/manufacturer with no obligation on my part to use/review - I only use and share what I personally love. Everything else I purchase myself!
Now for the GIVEAWAY info!!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop (thanks Heidi!!) from each blog's comment section (so leaving comments on all the blog posts of the hop increases your chances of winning!). Simon will choose the winners over the weekend and post on the Simon Says Stamp store blog on Wednesday (01/16). All the winners can email Simon Says Stamp to claim his/her prize.
Thanks so much for stopping by and good luck! ❤️❤️❤️
