simon says stamp friend like you release blog hop day 1

I am thrilled to be joining in day 1 of the Simon Says Stamp blog hop celebrating the new Friend Like You! (You should be arriving from Barb's beautiful blog!)

Before I show you what I made, let's talk about prizes!!! There are $25 gift certificates to Simon Says Stamp up for grabs at each hop stop! Enter to win by leaving comments along the hop!

And there's a 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 LOVE a die cut flower and the new Arctic Poppies are FABULOUS!!!

I die cut the poppies from white cardstock and added color with Distress Oxide inks & blending tools. The flowers are Picked Raspberry/Saltwater Taffy and Saltwater Taffy/Dried Marigold. The leaves and stems are Salvaged Patina/Cracked Pistachio.

The sentiment is from the Happy Day set. Don't sleep on this set! The sentiments are great and the flowers are gorgeous!

I am totally smitten with your card. I LOVE this new Arctic Poppy die to start with and the colors you chose to use for your ink blending work perfectly & beautifully together to make a beautiful summer card to let someone know you're thinking about them.

So elegant of a card. Clean and bright. Love those flowers! What a great die set that is. Thanks for sharing it with me.

This arctic poppy die is a great one to add to my collection. Love your treatment of it. Love the CAS look. Just to clarify: we've had weather that supports the theory that we're living over the "exhaust gates of hell" as my SIL says. It's been hot as heck, not just warm. Wish I could insert a crying laughing emoji here!
