Simon Says Stamp 'Friends' Blog Hop!


Hi all and welcome to Simon Says Stamp's first Exclusive blog hop for 2018!! What better way to start a brand new year! :-) I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are now looking forward to a year of all things fabulously crafty! 

I was so thrilled to be asked to take part in this 'Friends' hop to promote Simon's latest 'Friends Release and be in the same line up as so many super talented designers!! 

You should have arrived here from the oh so lovely and super talented Nina Marie Trapani , not only is she a crafting superstar she is a sweetheart in real life too :-) If not you will need to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Store Blog 

I made a couple of cards to share today.

First up is this super cute 'Best Friends Forever' shaker card made using adorable Picture Book Giraffe and Picture Book Monkey dies along with a Far Away Collage die.


I coloured the die cuts with Copic Markers and popped the monkey inside the shaker. For the background I used peeled Paint and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks. 


and I finished the inside 


For my next 'BFF' card I used the super cute 'Best Friends' Clear Stamp Set , there is a coordinating die set which is in my basket waiting to check out ;-) you should definitely get these together!!


I coloured with Copic Markers and used the same colours and washi tapes as on the first card. 


and I finished the inside to match



The lovely Heidi and team Simon are giving away a fabulous $25 voucher on EVERY stop on the hop! How awesome is that! All you need to do is leave a comment on this post and keep your fingers crossed! ;-)


From here you need to head on over to the very lovely and super talented Jessica Frost-Ballas aka All The Sparkle  for more 'friends' inspiration! She has made some GORGEOUS creations!! 

Before you leave just to let you know that there will be another amazing blog hop tomorrow, so you will definitely need to make a reminder on your phone to pop back toSimon Says Stamp Store Blog  tomorrow, same time, for more eye candy! :-)  

ALSO, if you have made any creations using any of these fabulous new products we would LOVE to see them linked into the Friends Gallery on Simon's Blog! It is always nice to share our makes and let others see what we have made! ;-)  CLICK HERE or on the pic to go there.
