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!

Once again you have created an amazing release! I love the butterflies and the flowers.
It all looks Great!
WOW! What a great release of new product – love the new stamp sets and the new dies. It is going to be difficult to choose which ones I really, really need, as I want them all – but the pocketbook says I can’t have them all.
Looks great!
I love the Summer Garden set! The cards are terrific, especially the Mom-to-be card! Adorable!
Awesome new releases! I’m off to do the bunny hop…
Everything is wonderful!
Flowers and dies…what more could one want? Exciting.
Cute card. The release looks fun.
I love it! The butterfly and star dies are my favorite!
Fabulous! The bird “mum” card is great!
Wonderful new product. Will have to go shopping soon.
My comments are a simple “thanks”. Thank-you SSS for giving us such a great bunch of designers who not only inspire us with great ideas for not only your products but other products as well by incorporating them into their designs. It’s because of these great ideas I’ve tried new things I never thought I would, purchased some I never knew existed and explored ideas I never thought I would. I’m having so much fun with all my “new” toys, playing with my new stamps & die cuts and trying out new techniques. I feel the videos & samples posted regularly have really broadened my stamping skills and have encouraged me to “step out of the box” and try new things. I’ve been sharing them a lot with a great group of ladies I regularly get together & stamp with and they are loving them as well and we can’t wait to get some of this from the new release so a big “hats off” to SSS & all the great designers.
Love the mum to be card :)
I love it all!
Wow – LOVE the new release, especially the dies!
Great release! I especially love the butterfly and star borders. Thanks so much for a chance to win!
Oh I love the mom and dad word background stamps and the flower stamps sets.
I love release time – seeing all those fun cards is well, fun! :) Loving that expecting set~
Mum 2B, It’s so CUTE! Gotta get this tall bird set!
Just finished the hop. It was great. Got a lot of good ideas for using the new releases. Thanks for having the hop.
I don’t know how you come up with so many awesome stamps all the time!! I love these!
I really like the butterflies die. The cards are beautiful.
Wow…awesome release. I love those little birds, and my favorite stamp is the “hello, beautiful!” I think I need* it!
WOW! Love the new stamps & dies! Great cards!
Both cards are so adorable what great stamp sets. I know this is going to be a fun blog hop and what not more awesome and heart warming than the theme you have presented. Thanks SSS for all you do how you do it and what a wonderful company you are do to do business with. Your designers are outstanding and ever so talented and just so sweet and everyone does outstanding tutorials everyone is a great teacher and have expanded my creativity beyond words.
Thank your for a chance for your most generous giveaway!!

the new collection looks great. I like the concept of the multiple sentiment die. It looks very customize-able.
Wow, you have been busy. Looking forward to seeing all the great projects using these new beauties!
Another great collection, love that the stamps have matching dies. If only I’d win the lottery!!! Love the blog hops – so many talented designers, so many great ideas and techniques. Thanks!
Great hop & release! TFS :)
Just fabulous! Both cards are so bright and cheerful! Completed the blog hop and saw such wonderful and inspirational creations by your DT! If I had to choose a favourite of the new products it would be the Butterfly Drift die – love that one! The Butterflies stamps are lovely too! Thank you for a fun blog hop! Wishing you a joyful day!
Wow I love the new release. As always! So many possibilities…
I love this new Mom & Dad release. I think my favorite might be Summer Garden however, as I go though all the designers blogs, it may change……. so hard to decide!
Fantastic product…..love them all, so it’s going to be really hard to decide which one(s) I buy first.
Yet again an amazing release … can’t wait to study it all in detail. Half the fun of an order is in the preparation LOL :) Great cards too !
Always new temptations with SSS releases.
Really great card!! Can’t wait for release day!!
Looks like another awesome release. I especially love the butterfly and star dies! :)
New release..woo hoo!!! I love the butterly!
What a great way to get some clever ideas for cards for these two very special occasions.
Love the two cards above. My favorite from this release, just based on the pictures above, are the butterfly drift and star parade. I have the heart parade from earlier this year and love it!
Love love love!
Wonderful release! Love that ‘We’re Expecting’ set especially on the egg with birdie inside it!
Beautiful cards! I just love the Flower Garden set. Great!!
Love the new mommy card! So cute
My fave has to be the Star Parade! After I got Heart Parade, I wrote to your CS asking for a Star Parade die and here it is!! I can’t wait to get it!
What a great release. I just love the stamp and die combinations!
How do you pick just one product?! I love the Flower Garden set and the Tall Flower die, but really, I want everything in the new release! Beautiful projects by the DT!
This is a very cute card, and the stamps are clever.
