Blog Hop for SimonSaysStamp's latest releases called To be LOVED and To LOVE

   Hi Everyone!  

I am so excited to be part of of Today's BlogHop to share inspiration for  Simon says stamp's two latest releases called To Love and To Be Loved. To Love and To be Loved is exactly how I would describe these two releases (-: - Sooo many wonderful and inspiring goodies!

(This gift with purchase will expire 1/12 at 11:59 pm EST or while supplies last.) 


ALSO -   Simon Says Stamp is generously giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop from our blog comment sections. They will choose our winners and post on our Simon Says Stamp blog on Wednesday the 15th of January so don't forget to comment before you leave (-: . 

AND - Here's the link to the release is here: https://www.simonsaysstamp.com/collections/to-be-loved 

I just LOVE and ADORE the Exotic Blooms dies. It is just a flower die but you can create so much with it. Here I chose to use it for some pretty bookmarks. I simply diecut them from watercolor paper and colored them using Mijello Mission Gold Water Color Palette. Then I added them to Botanical Bookmark s ( cut from the same watercolorpaper) using adhesive tape.

 


The products I used were from the To Love Release. You can find more inspiration for the wonderful new products from this release HERE:

I also made this sweet Valentine's card using the super Adorable Friends Furever stampset. I stamped the image using distress ink (Vinatge photo) and then watercolored the image. The heart window was diecut using the pretty Nested round hearts.
