Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Rain or Shine Release Blog Hop.
My first card features the Nifty Star Plate. I die cut a panel of white cardstock using the plate and then inlaid the stars with various colors of solid colored cardstock. I trimmed down the panel and popped it up over a navy background that was embossed using the Cubical Illusion Embossing Folder. For the sentiment I used the CZ Thank You Basics.
This next card also uses the Cubical Illusion Embossing Folder. For the sentiment I used the Bouncy Happy Easter and for the bunnies I used the Bounding Bunnies die set. I also added some Cottontail embellishments.
This last little tag uses the Peeking Rabbit die along with the Hoppy Birthday stamp set. To create the layered tag I used the Nested Domed Arches dies and punched a hole using a hole puncher along with some white and silver twine.
GIVEAWAY!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop.
