Good morning! I’m so excited to be a stop on the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember release blog hop! I love the fabulous products in this release and how perfect they are for creating cards to encourage, support, and celebrate others! I shared two cards using the new release yesterday (you can find them and a giveaway here and here) and I have yet another one to share today!
These little bunnies from Forever Friends showed up in my mailbox earlier in the week and I just cannot get over how adorable they are! To start my card I colored them with copic markers and fussy cut them leaving a bit of a white border around them. Then I placed the Stained Glass stencil over a piece of white cardstock and blended a little twisted citron and salty ocean distress ink over the center of the stencil to create a subtle grass and sky scene. I stamped the first word of my sentiment from Together with versafine and heat-embossed it with clear embossing powder. Then I stamped the rest of the sentiment on black cardstock and heat-embossed it with white embossing powder before trimming it down to a label. I adhered my bunnies with foam mounting tape and then added my sentiment label with ATG adhesive. Finally I finished the card with a few strawberry jewels a little spectrum noir clear sparkle on the bunnies ears, tails, and cheeks!
I hope this gives you some inspiration for the new release! Check out all the products from the Stamptember release and let me know your favorites! 😉

This is so cute! Love the touch of color in the background!
I love this stamp set! I too am a fan of the bunnies, they are hopping all over the place where I live! Not sure that I could fussy cut as perfect as you did, but I am willing to give it a go! I’m seeing why all the design team makes a lot of noise regarding stamptember, the creations I’m seeing are just amazing. And I’m so thankful for the videos! I’m more than willing to learn if you all will teach me!
Very sweet card – thanks so much!!
