Simon Says Stamp Encouraging Words Release!

3 Aug

Good afternoon!  Did you hear that Simon Says Stamp has a brand new release just in time for the start of the school year?!  Encouraging Words has fabulous stamps and dies to create encouraging creations for your favorite friends, teachers, students, kids, and more!  I’ll be back later this week to hop along with a bunch of crafty friends but I wanted to share a quick card using two of the new dies from the Encouraging Words release!

You're a Star by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

I blended Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Chipped Sapphire, and Seedless Preserves distress ink onto watercolor paper and spritzed it with shimmer spray.  Then I ran the You’re A Star and Tickle Breeze dies through my Bigshot with a piece of white cardstock.  I adhered that panel over the distress inked panel and added a few jewels in shades of teal, blue, and purple to finish the card!

You're a Star by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Simon Says Stamp

Quick and easy to create but it results in a beautiful, shimmery, encouraging card!  I look forward to making more of these in different color schemes!  I definitely recommend checking out the Encouraging Words release!  And I’d love to know what is your favorite product from the new release!  Thanks so much for visiting and make sure to stop by tomorrow morning for a fabulous blog hop featuring the new release from Simon Says Stamp!
