Hello Friends, I am just so delighted to be hopping with the Mama Elephant & their EXTREMELY TALENTED Design Team!!! I had sooo much fun creating cards with the new & exciting release. These sweet and adorable bunnies kept me busy for hours...I just couldn't stop myself.

When I think of bunnies I think of brown or white so I thought it would be fun to use spring colors for the little critters. After coloring with some Copic markers I added a little distress ink to the bunnies. For the heart cut out I used this die cut and this stencil.

For this guy I cut the head off and turned it at an angle for that look puppies give you. For the rest of the supplies on my card you will find at the bottom of my post.

A closer look at the butterfly for my pin board. Check out this post to see the pin board.

giveaway... lots of inks and paper

Hello hello Friends!!! I have been waiting for this day!! Today I am lucky enough to give you a opportunity to win a huge GIVEAWAY thanks to my friends at Simon Says Stamp.

Simon will provide a random winner with a full set of ink pads (all 14 of the current colors) as well as a rainbow pack of the current colors of cardstock,to one of my blog readers! All you need to do to qualify is leave a comment on my blog ;)Woo Hoo!!

YOU must CHECK BACK TO claim the prize either at my blog or at the Simon Blog on February 20, 2014 when the winner is announced.

This is the entire collection of 14 inks in the giveaway!! I know...WOW!

This is the rainbow pack in the giveaway! So excited to give all of these goodies away!

The cardstock from Simon Says Stamp is so sturdy, substantial and saturated with color. I love that when you score the paper you don't get that that shiny line or any of those pesky cracks in the paper.

For the card above I used some of Simons beautiful paper and the "Tic Tac Toe Hearts" die cut. It's nice to have some blank cards on hard that can be used for any gender.

To stamp this fun background (on my first card) I used this stamp set with some of the juicy Simon ink pads (see supply list for the colors). After stamping the background I used this glittery pen to add some pizzaz to the inked "sea glass" flowers. You can find the "Hello" die cut here.
Thanks for your visit and best of luck with this awesome giveaway. Thanks again Simon!! Hugs, Kathy

P.S. In a few weeks, Simon Says Stamp will be releasing 5 new colors of ink pads and coordinating cardstock to compliment these 14 colors that were launched at the end of 2013. THE NEW INKS & CARDSTOCK WILL BE RELEASED FEB. 21ST with Simon's Spring Release.
