Fun & Festive Release Blog Hop

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.SSS-Big Picture Book Bear & Dancing DearMy first project features the Dancing Deer die. For the background I embossed the Mod Trees Background stamp onto Fog cardstock.
SSS-Dancing Dear & OrnamentalI 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.
SSS-Dancing Dear & OrnamentalMy next card features the Big Picture Book Bear & Hugs dies.
SSS-Big Picture Book Bear & HugsThis 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.
SSS-Big Picture Book Bear & HugsI stamped a sentiment on the the inside of the card using the Punny Animals stamp set.
SSS-Punny AnimalsHere’s a video to show you how I created these cards.

    Of course you and Cathy are right next to each other in this blog hop; it only seems right. I love the bold red, grey and white design of the first card. And your bear card just makes me want to go hug someone. Thanks for sharing your artistic vision and talents with us; you’re always a delight to listen to.

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.
