Blog hop exclusive promo for a free Simon Says Stamp Hot Mess 3x4 stamp set, with colorful background and product packaging

Hi Lovelies!

Welcome to Day 1 of Simon Says Stamp's Shine On Release Blog Hop! The moment I saw the Dewdrop Daisy die set, I immediately pictured red Gerbera daisies and this pop of color seemed perfect for letting someone know how amazing they are. The Circle Frame dies are the quiet star here for me though. This nesting die set allowed me to cluster and frame the daisies, bring all your attention to our gorgeous blooms.

Join me as I walk you through the details of this fun card and hope inspire you to send this card to that special someone in your life.
