WELCOME to DAY 1 (yes, there’s another one tomorrow!) of the Sugar and Spice Release Blog Hop. You should’ve arrived from the awesome Rachel Alvarado but if you want to go to the start the full list can be found at the bottom of the post!
I’m SOOOO excited to be joining in with the celebrations over at Simon Says Stamp for the amazing Sugar and Spice Release! There are so many gorgeous, festive products available and my order is already in – didn’t want to miss out!
I made 4 cards to share for some inspiration on how you can create with some of the goodies available – 3 of them are holiday cards (my favourite season to craft!). I’ll be adding these to the #SSSSugarAndSpice Gallery HERE – why not add yours too and share your creativity to inspire!
The first two cards feature one of the new embossing folders Brilliant Ornaments which also has a co-ordinating die! Simon’s folders are so fun to work with – I absolutley love them. Both sides are equally stunning and give totally different looks. I also used the new Plaque Slides Stamps and Dies and the Charming Berry Branch (such a versatile die). I created layers using the A2 Rectangle Dies and the Scalloped Rectangle dies.
My next card is more traditional in it’s colour scheme but uses the same Charming Berry Branch and Plaque Slides for a totally different look.
My last card is a pretty in pink extravaganza featuring the beautiful Graceful Swans Stamp Set. I Also used the Pretty Bows dies and the A2 Arches Dies.
Don’t forget, a winning comment will be chosen from each stop on the hop and will win a $25 gift card for the Simon Says Stamp Store so make sure you drop some love for a chance to be in the draw!
I hope you found something to inspire you and happy hopping!!
