Happy & Joyful Release

April 19, 2022

Hi there! The new Happy & Joyful Release by Simon Says Stamp has just gone live and I have a couple of projects to share featuring several of these fun, new products.

SSS-A2 Marquee Dies, Sketched Leaf Branches, Reverse Yay You

My first card features the new A2 Marque die set. I layered all three sizes on the background using Sea Glass, Audrey Blue & Peacock Teal cardstock. I used the new Sketched Leaf & Branches foil & die set for the image and one of the Reverse Yay You sentiment strips for the sentiment.

For the sentiment I used one of the Baby Words dies with matte gold cardstock. I added the vellum girl die cut and stamped the “sweet” sentiment from Darling Baby.
