Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for their Encouraging Words Release Blog Hop. Simon hosted two blog hops for this release. You can head over to the Simon Says Stamp blog to see yesterday’s line up of amazing designers.
I’ve been wanting to create one of those “oh-so-cool” pop-up box cards for a while. I thought these new Space Journey dies would work perfect for creating a colorful galaxy on a pop-up card.
For the sentiment I used the You’re a Star die. How cool are these colorful planets? I used several colors of Simon Says Stamp cardstock along with coordinating ink colors to blend on each planet for some added interest. I also added some Wink of Stella to the stars for shimmer.
Here’s a video to show you how I made this pop-up box card.
GIVEAWAY!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 gift certificate to each stop on the hop. Leave me a comment for your chance to win! Winners will be posted on the Simon Says Stamp blog on Tuesday.
