Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Sunny Days Ahead release blog hop! You can check out the new release HERE! I have a project featuring the Luck & Hugs stamp set & coordinating dies.
Just about everything on this card is embossed in clear embossing powder. Then I added some distress inks for added color. I also added a sentiment from the Reverse Mom Sentiment Strips and some April showers sequins for embellishment.
Here’s a video to show you how I made this card.
GIVEAWAY!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop! Winners will be chosen over the weekend and posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday, the 29th of April.

April 27, 2020 at 6:48 amThis card is sensational! I definitely don’t think I’d have the patience to emboss the background, but you’ve definitely made a winning design! I also enjoy the tip about cutting the sequins to tuck them into just the right spots!!
Hugs to from Pennsylvania!!

April 28, 2020 at 3:20 amLaura, I always enjoy your videos & chuckle at some point or other. I understand how food enters into everything as I am a foodie, at least that’s what I’ve been told most of my life. lol Love your card & I have to remember to use some border stamps to create backgrounds. I’m really liking the beautiful blends of cool colours in the background & then the summery warm tones on top of it.
