Day 1 Simon Says Stamp Celebrate Blog Hop


If you are here for the Simon Says Stamp Celebrate Blog Hop you should have arrived from the super talented Dilay Nacr's Blog . If so this is the last stop on your journey around the world, if not, then you need to head on over to the Simon Says Stamp Blog  for the start!! 
I was thrilled to be asked to take part in this, Day 1, of the Blog Hop and luckily the parcel  from the Celebrate Release arrived in time! Thanks so much Heidi, Susan and all at Simon HQ!

I made a few cards to share today, first up is a thank you card for a teacher, you may need to put your shades on ;-)

I made a slimline card using a fabulous Star Bulb Die a Sunrise Overlay Embossing Folder  and an Appreciate You Stamp and Die Set 


I white heat embossed the 'Teacher' sentiment onto black cardstock and  black emossed the rest of the sentimernt onto a strip of torn Vellum. I blended Squeezed Lemonade and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Inks onto the bulb, and behind it to make it glow. I also used silver holographic card for the star and the buld threads. 


Next up is a Father's Day Card made using a gorgeous Modern Flower Stencil and a sentiment strip from a Foil Transfer Fancy Dads and Father Greetings Set, along with a CZ Designs Happy Die Sentiment 


I blended Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink through the stencil and then smothered with Texture Paste, which was also colored with the same ink, and then sprinkled with Earth Safe Glitter. I finished with a black Doodlebug Sprinkle Dot and added a strip of Black/White Plaid Paper 



Next up are a couple of cards made using a super cute Celebrating You Stamp and Die Set 


I colored with Copic Markers and added a few dabs of Star Dust Stickles on the gift and party hat. I added a few sequin stars and a strip of Washi Tape to finish 


and I made a similar one using the same Celebrating You Stamp and Die Set
