Friend Like You Blog Hop Day 1

Woot Woot!! I am so excited to be a part of the first day of the Simon Says Stamp 'Friend Like You' Blog Hop! 

Thank You, Heidi, Susan, and all at Simon HQ for the lovely parcel of 'Friend Like You' products!

You should have arrived here from the lovely Miriam Prantner's Blog If not you may need to start from the beginning at the Simon Says Stamp Blog  

I made a couple of cards to share today, first up is this summery smile card, made using a gorgeous new Underwater Stencil Set (a set of 4 stencils), a CZ Designs Smile Clear Stamp Set and a Tidal Wave Embellishment Mix along with a Poppy Pods Die from the previous Moments In Time Release

I used some deliciously creamy Pawsitively Saturated Inks for 3 of the 4 stencils, and for the last stencil I ran it through the Big Shot machine, with no color, to emboss the lines, looks great IRL! I heat embossed the 'Smile' sentiment and finished with some   Tidal Wave Embellishments. 

For my next card I used a Dahlia Background Cling Stamp, a Delicate Wildflowers Die Set along with a Giggle Hello Die Set and Honeycomb Stencil from the previous Moments In Time Release 

I used Pawsitively Saturated Inks for the background and randomly added some stamped script text. I used Copic Markers for the flowers. 

and I used the extra strip of paper to decorate the envelope. 

Thanks for looking!! :-)
