Hey everyone! I'm back again already! How are you enjoying the Hero Arts blog hop? (see yesterday's blog post) Be sure to leave a comment on that post for a chance to win a prize! It's been a fun and busy week for me. My husband had to go to away for work this week, so I tagged along with him. Heck, free hotel room, right!? I brought my laptop and some work with me and in between sight seeing and adventures I did my work. I'm so grateful for having the kind of work that I can bring with me! I'll be headed home tonight so I can give my kitty a big ole hug and get things back on track at home. Lots going on creatively this week too!
Simon Says Stamp is releasing a "Mini Release" today called Dads and Grads! It's five products geared towards Father's Day and graduation projects. A couple of new ink pads too. Can't beat that! I used the "Fathers Day Finds" stamp set and dies to make a cute fishy card to share with you today. CLICK HERE to see the full release at the SSS Store. I used a brand new paper pad that just came in the mail on Saturday. It's so fun and it's called Summer Party! Woot! I matched my Copic colors to the fish in the paper.
This stamp set doesn't have to be just for Father's Day. I think this would be a great all occasion card for anyone who enjoys the outdoors or the beach! The matching dies make this card a breeze to create. And not too much coloring. I added a few Doodlebug Bubbles enamel dots too. (Supply links below)
The Splashy Waves Dies come as a set. I used one of the patterned papers from the package (an ombre blue) and cut all three dies from the same paper. Then I used foam squares to mount one on top of the other for my water.
You can't really see it in the photo, but I added clear Wink Of Stella pen to the fish's fins and the fishing pole.
Thanks for stopping by today! Have a wonderful day and I'll see you soon! My next projects will be right here on Saturday (new SSS Card Kit) and on Sunday on the Simon Says Stamp Blog - I'm posting a cool Tim Holtz project! Take care! XOXO
SUPPLIES FOR TODAY!

Hi! I like all the above cards, but the one that stood out for me was the "Be Happy" card. It's a sentiment that I needed to hear right now. Thanks for sharing!
