Hello crafty friends, happy Thursday!
Welcome to Day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp Yay You Release Blog Hop. I’m so happy to be a part of this awesome blog hop! If you arrived here from super talented Cheiron Brandon’s blog you are on the right track.
For my first card, I’m featuring brand new Arched Greens Background stamp & Happily Ever After dies.
I started by making floral background with the Arched Greens Background stamp. I heat embossed floral images onto watercolour paper using white embossing powder, ink blended the stamped paper with Worn Lipstick, Tattered Rose and Scattered Straw Distress inks, and then trimmed it down with A2 sized Basic Rectangle Panel die.
I die cut the word “Happily Ever After” from thick white cardstock, shadow from vellum paper, and then glued them together. I mounted the floral panel on white card base using Dot Runner Adhesive, added the sentiment die cut on the centre of the card using foam tape, and then decorated the sentiment with tiny butterflies and wedding ring.
For my second card for the hop, I used the new Arches stencil along with other SSS products.
I made 4 different coloured Arches pattern stripes – applied Distress inks over the stencil, then cut each stripe using the largest sized stripes die in the Strips 2 die set. I also die cut thin stripes from Matte Silver Mirror cardstock using the Strips 1 die set. I adhered all stripes on the Woodgrain White card base as shown in the picture.
For the centre of the card, I added Etched Delicate Frond & black sentiment banner using foam tape.

These are soooo awesome! I LOVE the ring in the Happily Ever After one!
Hi, Yoonsun – I like both cards, but the color combo and the cute ring and the fantastic font of the Happily Ever After really send that one over the top, in my opinion. You’re so talented and this is a terrific release!
