New šŸ’—LOVEšŸ’— Collection!

Hello friends! Love is in the air over at Simon Says StampšŸ’—Ā Their new LOVE release just went live and I couldn’t wait to share a couple of projects using some of my favorites with you.
SSS-Picture Book Unicorn & Love BearIt’s no secret that I adore the Picture Book dies by Simon Says Stamp. There are getting to be quite a few now and I love every single one of them. Just when you thought they couldn’t get any cuter…they did! The Picture Book Unicorn and Love Bear are completely irresistible.
SSS-Love BearI used some Pebbles pattern papers from my January Card Kit along with one of the Nested Circle dies to frame the Picture Book cuties. I added an embossed sentiment from the Best Friends set.
SSS-Picture Book UnicornFor the Picture Book Unicorn I used more Pebbles pattern paper and a sentiment from the CZ Design Yay set. For fun I added an embossed sentiment on the inside of the card also from the Yay set and die cut with one of the Nested Circle Dies. I’m so tempted to make about ten more of these unicorns in every color of the rainbow🌈
SSS-CZ Design-YayNot sure what it is about these sweet Picture Book Dies but they just make me smile! I’ve got a few more projects to share using more of the new LOVE release coming on Saturday so stay tuned for a fun blog hop!SSS-Picture Book Unicorn & Love BearCheck out the fun, new LOVE release below.
