simon says stamp always there release blog hop day 2

 I am thrilled to be joining in day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp blog hop celebrating the new Always There collection! (You should be arriving from Kath's wonderful blog!)

Before we talk cards, check out this super cute gift with purchase!!! Just follow the instructions on the graphic above when you go to shop😉

Ok, now let me show you what I made...

I'm a little obsessed with Strawberry Pint die set! It's so darn cute!!! And after creating this first card with the strawberries, these sentiments and this color palette (white, Chiffon, Saltwater Taffy, Abandoned Coral, Kitsch Flamingo & black)...

...I had to make more! I think the strawberries pair well with these sentiments too, the Dot Pattern Petal stencil and a little glitter paste...



And I couldn't help but use the strawberries as shaker bits with the Big Hugs stamp and die from my first collection😉


The next hop stop is Natasha's beautiful blog! I know she is going to something gorgeous for us!!!
