I am so thrilled to be a part of todays Blog Hop, celebrating Simon Says Stamp's newest release, Celebrate You! There are so many wonderful, pretty, and fun stamps and dies that celebrate all kinds of events that celebrate those "yous" in your life!!
If you're following the hop, you should have reached here from amazing Amy Rysavy's blog!
I chose to showcase the very pretty Filigree Message Circle die, celebrating birthdays, for today's hop...
The first one, I simply used a gold embossed Filigree die underneath a die cut white panel with a gold embossed birthday sentiment from the new Tiny Words Birthday stamp set....
I embossed the die's image on a piece of shiny gold cardstock. I then die cut the die on a white cardstock panel. I adhered the white over the gold and adhered to a gold panel adhered to a card. Here's a close up...
The second one I used markers to color an embossed panel...
I colored the embossed piece with markers, hand cut out, and then adhered to a layered , die cut that I die cut with circular stitched die. I centered on panel with a striped piece of patterned paper on the top and bottom of panel. I used another sentiment from the Tiny Words Birthday stamp set...wonderful sentiment in this set!! Here's a close up...
The third use for this pretty die, I die cut and layered like the second, but made into a gift tag!...
I layered the die cut and then cut out a couple times, then adhered to colored cardstock. I used the circular die to die cut a "card" with it, and adhered to the layered white and blue piece. The "Happy Birthday" is a very cool sentiment stamp(love the font and size of this sentiment), from the new Big Birthday Greetings set! Added some twine and ready for a birthday package:)!!
