I love the embossing folders in this release!
I love the jenoblade sets and the fable animals like the Bear and Lion
Love Sheri Carrol’s cards as well as the products from this new release. The free stamp is an added bonus. Embossing folders are some of my favorites from this release.
Such a great release. Was thrilled to see a stencil for the wild and free stamp and die set. Can’t wait to get it and use it.
Beautiful cards by Shari Carroll! I love this release already – so much inspiration! My order is in! Thank you, SSS for another FABULOUS release!
Beautiful cards by Shari. I love first one – I am wondering how I could colour the stems with inks only in right place. Wish on the market would be more embossing folders with small elements with coordinating stencils.
Great release and always look forward to these because SSS always has such a nice product line.
Adore Shari’s cards with those beautiful folders!
Beautiful work as always, Barb! Especially love the first and last one! Gorgeous ink blending and coloring!
don’t know how to even pick a fav luv all of these wish i could afford to buy it all so cool
Shari’s cards are lovely. This looks like a very nice release.
Great release
Fantastic new release. There are so many items that I am wishing for.
Very sweet and adorable! Fabulous with the scallop frame. Thank you.
So many cute new stamps & dies!
Can’t wait to hop. I know I’m late. Not feeling the best.
Happy day one of the Always There hop! This collection has so many versatile designs – I can already think of a dozen card ideas. The coordinating dies are going to make fussy cutting a thing of the past. Really appreciate Simon Says Stamp for putting together such an inspiring release and organizing these hops for the crafting community!
What a fantastic start to the blog hop! Shari Carroll’s projects are always so inspiring and the Always There collection really delivers on creativity and versatility. I love how the designers each bring a different perspective to the same product line – it really shows what’s possible with some imagination. I have been making video content showcasing my craft projects and vidglory.com has been super helpful for organizing and editing those videos to share with my crafting community. Looking forward to tomorrow’s hop!
What a lovely blog hop! The designs in the Always There collection are truly special. I especially love how each creator put their own spin on the cherished connections theme. The layered window technique from one of the cards is something I want to try myself. Thanks for sharing all this wonderful inspiration!
What a beautiful blog hop! I love seeing all the different interpretations of the Always There collection. The layered designs and encouraging sentiments are so uplifting. Reminds me of how AI music tools can layer different melodies to create something truly harmonious. Each card in this hop is like a perfect composition! Thanks for sharing all this amazing inspiration today.
What a wonderful collection and blog hop! The Always There set really captures the essence of meaningful connections. I love how each designer brought their own unique interpretation to the same stamps. The layered card designs are absolutely inspiring – especially how some used ink blending and others went with clean stamping. I have been experimenting with AI image tools like Pictro to generate card design concepts before I start crafting, and it has been such a game changer for planning color palettes. Thank you for organizing this hop and sharing all these beautiful creations!
What a wonderful blog hop! The Always There collection is so heartfelt and meaningful. I love seeing how each designer interprets the theme differently – it really showcases the versatility of stamp designing. I work on video enhancement tools at vidglory.com and seeing these beautiful card close-ups makes me think about how AI upscaling could really bring out the fine details in embossing and die cuts for craft tutorial videos. Thank you for organizing this inspiring hop!
