Hi there! Today I’m sharing this project over on the My Favorite Things YouTube channel featuring a few of the new April release goodies.
I used the adorable Little Piggy Die-namics with the BG All Lined Up Background and the Fishtail Flag Trio & #Captions Die-namics for the sentiment. Check out the video HERE!

Hi there! Have you seen the fun new Blossoms and Butterflies release by Simon Says Stamp? I did a fun walk-through reveal video over on the Simon Says Stamp blog! This release is loaded with fun, new products perfect for Mother’s Day, Graduation and much more!
I’ve created a project using the new Dahlia Frame die. I backed the die cut with acetate and used thin foam strips to make a shaker filling it with Groovy Confetti.
For the sentiment I used the Tiny Words Encouragement stamp set and embossed it in white onto black cardstock and then die cut the sentiment using one of the Sentiment Label dies.
Check out the Simon Says Stamp blog for more information on the Blossoms and Butterflies release. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hello and welcome to the 2nd Annual Cutest Video Hop Ever! My daughter Emma and I are excited to be joining Emily Leiphart for this fun hop, crafting with our kids and inspiring the next generation of crafters! We hope you have as much fun watching us craft with our kids, as we enjoyed creating these projects to share with you.
Emma & I created a cute bunny bag using the Big Picture Book Bunny & Medium Body dies by Simon Says Stamp.
The bag was created with the Favor Bag-XL Creative Cuts and then we added a sentiment using the Dog & Cat Dress Up stamp set embossed onto a Doll Pink die cut heart.
