♥ Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Wednesday Challenge Blog Hop! ♥

Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Wednesday Challenge Group Blog Hop!

Simon Says Stamp was founded in 2002 with an interest in exclusively selling rubber stamps. It didn't take long until we realized we couldn't stop there. During the past 11 years we celebrate rubber stamping in its full glory by giving access to people around the world to a one stop shop. Rubber stamps still remain the heart of our business and we are celebrating by hosting a “STAMPtember®” event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate the greatness of rubber stamping. Part of the enticement of rubber stamping is that stamps can be used in creating or complimenting ANYTHING! From stamping dates on bank documents and postage parcels in the early 18th century, rubber stamping has dramatically expanded to include card making, life documenting, art journaling, scrapbooking, mixed media and many forms of altering and expressing art.

To celebrate the 4th annual Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® event, we're 'hopping' along sharing some great projects featuring the new STAMPtember® product releases! It's one of the biggest releases to date and features new stamp sets, dies, flair and stencils!!

All of the new releases are amazing!! I have had the pleasure of working so far with quite a few of them and can not even tell you a favorite! I love them ALL!! But I must say that I think the Sketchy Banners Dies and Stamp Set are really fun!! (You can see a card made with them below.)

We're so excited that you are here to celebrate with us and hop along in this special challenge group blog hop. Once you're done 'hopping' please head over to our Wednesday Challenge Blog to participate in this weeks challenge. This week the challenge is...

Celebrate  STAMPtember® and use a product from the Simon Says Stamp Store.

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store!

On my first card for you today, I used the Sketchy Banners Stamp and Die Set. Love this fun set! (Have I mentioned that already!) And I also used these very cool, Pointed Feathers Dies! That is the "in" thing to use right now, feathers!!

The papers are from the Summer Stories 6x6 Paper Pad by Teresa Collins. I also used a paper doily, White Opal Liquid Pearls and lots of pretty Prima flowers!

On my next card, I used the super cute Darling Baby Stamps and Die Set. You can make a lot of things with this stamp set! Invitations, Announcements, card for the new baby, Shower cards, etc. Such a versatile set. And that Baby die is so sweet too!

I used some Lost and Found, Ruby papers by My Mind's Eye on this one.

Lastly, this card also uses the Darling Baby Stamps and Die Set. That cute airplane is from the Small Planes Die Set. It comes with a large one and a smaller one.

The papers are from an old My Mind's Eye paper Pad called Cowboy. The crystal heart is by Prima.

Thanks so much for visiting my blog on the hop! I am the last person on the hop! So Good Luck to you all and I hope you had fun "hopping" along with us!!

The hop begins at the newly designed Simon Says Stamp blog, so if you encounter any broken links while 'hopping' you can head back there for a full list of participants. The Simon blog has a new address and a new look, with all the great inspiration you've come to love and expect from Simon Says Stamp! :)

Happy Hopping!! ;-)
