Good Luck Charm Blog Hop 1!

I am so thrilled to be a part of today's Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop, celebrating Simon Says Stamp's newest Good Luck Charm release!  There are so many wonderful stamps, dies, stencils, inks, and more, in this release! I have chosen to showcase tow of the new Simon stencil sets and one of the new sentiment dies from CZ Design, to make some "feelings" cards!...

These 4-part stencils are so much fun, and make it so easy to make a background for a card, so that all that is needed is a sentiment to make a wonderful card!  For this first one, I sued the Interlocking Circles stencil set with four different inksm one of them, the prettfrom Simons'y Guava(pink), is a new color!  I chose the colors to hopefully  cheer up the recipient!  I layered the CZ Design Feel Better Soon die cut sentiment , and used a piece of vellum for the background to help the sentiment stand apart from the background, but still see some of the background for continuity.  I used a small heart die from Simon's Hearts and Stars Shapes (one of my favorite and most used dies!)and die cut and layered the heart from c yardstick with the same  lended Guava as the card.  Here's a close up...

For the second one, I went with a "bluer" theme...miss you...

I used the cool new Radiating Squares stencil set and the Simon Miss You die for this card.  Like the first card, I used the four colors of ink for this card, three blues, and a brown!  I layered and popped up the colored sentiment, and popped up the square colored background.  Here's a close up...

I had so much fun making these cards!!  My fun is above, your fun is below...
