Simon Says Stamp Hugs and Kisses Blog Hop!


I hope you're all enjoying the Simon Says Stamp Hugs and Kisses Day 2 Blog Hop!  

You should have arrived here from the lovely Kim Hamilton's Blog, if not you will need to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Blog.

The lovely Heidi and co at Simon Says Stamp sent me a lovely parcel with some samples to play with and in it was a gorgeous Concentric Hearts Cling Stamp, a CZ designs Hi There Die set and a CZ Designs Hi There Clear Stamp Set  and I used all 3 on this card.


I used the large MISTI Stamping Tool and  Pawsitively Saturated Watermelon Ink for the background. I love a Red/Black color combo, so I stitched around the edges with black thread and layered onto black cardstock. I used some Irredescent Twine and popped a Wonky Stitched Heart on top. I used some White Glitter Paper and a Hi There Die to add the sentiment and white heat embossed 'GORGEOUS' from the  Hi There Clear Stamp Set. I finished with a few Gina K Solid Quartz Sequins.


I also made this card using products from the Kisses Release which I posted on my blog a couple of days ago. CLICK HERE for more details

I especially like the first one. It reminds me of these signs that people used to spin at their little outdoor stands to get attention. I LOVED those. This is so cute!

I like how your design looks like a Bullseye target! I don't have a die or stamp for a dart, but it would sure look cute "stuck" in the middle of the bullseye! Great card!

Hi, Lorraine -
Your name is - was - new to me. Not anymore! First, I am impressed by your talent. Your cards are beautiful. Second, I saw that concentric hearts red rubber set used by Nichol Spohr and started kicking myself for not ordering it right off. Now your card comes along and reinforces that notion. Last, I am humbled by your posting the memo about donating profits to charities that help Ukrainians. I think we all could do a little more in that area. Thanks for the reminder! Love your work.
