Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Fun and Festive Release Blog Hop! I have a couple of project to share using some of the awesome new products.
My first project features the Dancing Deer die. For the background I embossed the Mod Trees Background stamp onto Fog cardstock.
I used the Nested Circle dies on Slate & Schoolhouse Red to create a frame for the Dancing Deer. The sentiment is from the Ornamental stamp & die set.
My next card features the Big Picture Book Bear & Hugs dies.
This is such way to give someone money in card, but you could also tuck in some candy or whatever you can fit inside those cuddly hugging arms.
I stamped a sentiment on the the inside of the card using the Punny Animals stamp set.
Here’s a video to show you how I created these cards.
GIVEAWAY!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop. Leave a comment for your chance to win! Winners will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp store blog on Wednesday.

October 13, 2018 at 4:08 pmWow Laura great cards, I love the bear with the great pressent in his paws but my favorite is the deer card. That deer is so gorgeous in simply a few layers of white cardstock on the red circle and his little red nose (great idea!) all together with the grey circle on the awesome background. Love it!
Thank you so much for two great cards with the new release products of SSS.

October 13, 2018 at 7:35 pmYour cards are terrific and I must say that the Picture Book is bear is quickly becoming my favorite in this series. Just look how darling he is holding that gift in his paws!!! Your other card is also fantastic. The deer and the background work so well to create a design with a slightly retro feel that is very current right now! Love both cards!

Jackie Price
October 15, 2018 at 1:43 amO wow, Laura, your cards are always at the top of my favourites. Those picture book characters are too cute, especially with the add-on dies. Your little brown bear looks so cute holding his gift money. Love the one white paw! Then there’s the dancing deer card…Gorgeous!!! The subtle mod tree background (a fav of mine from this release) is perfect for the 2 colours of circles framing the dancing deer. The red just makes the white deer outline pop. I also love the dimension you added. Just a stunning card!! Thanks for sharing your creativity with us.
