NEW RELEASE Mothers & Fathers 2014 Blog Hop
Let’s CELEBRATE!
We would like to celebrate our new Mothers & Fathers 2014 release with you by “hopping’ along and sharing some amazing projects!
Before we get to the hop, be sure to check out the PDF catalog below…
Our families are growing! You may have heard, Shari Carroll is going to be a grandma to a baby girl this summer. AND my brother and his wife are also having their first baby. It will be my first niece :) SO EXCITED! My daughter will finally have a lil’ buddy during our family gatherings. That’s great because I think she’s starting to lose interest in the games her big brother and her boy cousins prefer – mud stomping, truck racing, and minecraft (is this an addiction, or what!? )
Shari designed the Expectant Mother Stamp & Die set to celebrate this joyous occasion. Check out the awesome card she created!

We also have an amazing card created by Emily, one of Simon’s amazing, talented teammates. She is part of our home office team in Columbus Ohio and a graduate of Columbus College of Art & Design. Emily is new to the card making world and had joined us to celebrate the Mothers and Fathers release! Thank you Emily for sharing your card & talent with us :)
We’re so excited to hear what you think of the new products and hope the rest of these amazing designers help to inspire you at each stop!

Great collection in this release! Can’t wait to get hopping!
Great cards! My favourite new product is the butterfly drift die.
I was invited to a shower this past weekend and discovered I really didn’t have a stamp that was for the mom just a baby stamp! I’m excited about the new stamp as my really good friend’s daughter is having twins and I would love to make her a card with that stamp. Love it!
This blog hop was truly inspiring and awesome. Loved it all.
I love those die cuts and that bird card is so cute!
A wonderful selection of Mother’s Day and Father’s day supplies. I’m really looking forward to finding out what new colors you will be releasing. :)
Did you guys do something different as all of sudden your emails alerts are going to my spam folder. I have not changed anything on my settings, so something is different. When I open in email it says part of the message is blocked. I always looked forward to getting the emails and new ideas, and thought maybe simon wasn’t posting this week. I opened my spam folder to see if something else I was waiting for went to the folder, but it hadn’t.
So far, I’ve only visited your blog & 1 other, but I do already have a fave. It’s Shari’s expectant mother set. It is just so cute with the baby in the egg! And it’s a perfect sentiment for a baby shower.
Loving the goodies on the Mom & Dad’s Dad Release! The designs the DT Members are creating are soooo inspiring! My SSS wish list just got longer :) XOXO-Shari
This hop has been so much fun! Love the stamps and dies:)
The mom to be stamp is awesome! Can’t wait to add the new inks to my collection.
I love the new “Summer Garden” stamp set and the coordinating die.
Looks like another fabulous release! As I start making my wish list… ;)
Can’t wait to have some of these new products in my stash!
These new products will go down a storm x
What a great release! Can’t wait to try these new stamps and dies!
