Hi all and welcome to Simon Says Stamp's first Exclusive blog hop for 2018!! What better way to start a brand new year! :-) I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and are now looking forward to a year of all things fabulously crafty!
I was so thrilled to be asked to take part in this 'Friends' hop to promote Simon's latest 'Friends Release and be in the same line up as so many super talented designers!!
You should have arrived here from the oh so lovely and super talented Nina Marie Trapani , not only is she a crafting superstar she is a sweetheart in real life too :-) If not you will need to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Store Blog
I made a couple of cards to share today.
First up is this super cute 'Best Friends Forever' shaker card made using adorable Picture Book Giraffe and Picture Book Monkey dies along with a Far Away Collage die.
I coloured the die cuts with Copic Markers and popped the monkey inside the shaker. For the background I used peeled Paint and Broken China Distress Oxide Inks.

For my next 'BFF' card I used the super cute 'Best Friends' Clear Stamp Set , there is a coordinating die set which is in my basket waiting to check out ;-) you should definitely get these together!!
I coloured with Copic Markers and used the same colours and washi tapes as on the first card.
and I finished the inside to match
