Simon Says Hop to It Blog Hop and New Release Reveal!
Hi friends! Welcome to the full reveal and blog hop of our new release “HOP TO IT!”
What inspires you? Our design inspiration for this series is exactly that…. to inspire. My card making friends have been inspiring me to be a better person. Whether it’s taking care of myself through exercise and meditation or enjoying time spent with loved ones, friends provide tons of positive inspiration. Knowing that Spring is just around the corner is especially inspiring to me too. Hope, rebirth, and unconditional love is celebrated through the joy of Easter. The beauty of flowers can take our breath away and lift our spirits. I wish I kept up with exercising like I should and I certainly don’t always manage my schedule in a healthy way, but these things uplift me when I need help and encouragement. Through card making we can inspire each other!
It is our greatest hope as a family at Simon Says Stamp, that we inspire YOU like you inspire us! Hopefully these product designs help us to encourage each other. Do you know what I mean when I say, there is nothing like getting home after a long, (and cold!) day and seeing a vibrant, beautifully hand addressed card on the top of the mail on the kitchen counter? Seriously!? Right!? Handmade cards rock!
Shari Carroll made this card using Rain Rain Go Away Set from the new HOP TO IT release.
I am deeply grateful for Jennifer McGuire’s friendship and that she has connected so many people in our industry to form lasting friendships. Jennifer is always spreading love and kindness. After Jen introduced me to her dear friend Shari Carroll, my daughter Abby formed a quick friendship with Shari too. It’s a blessing that people like Shari radiate light and love wherever they go! Shari designed the stamp and dies set inspired by my daughter, Abby. Abby loves her boots and ponytails (and pink!) Never has a product release been more personal to me. Thank you Shari :)

Who and what inspires me…..first is my family. There is always something happening that sends a shot of inspiration right up my spine :-D All my furbabies come second (and there are a lot of em). Spring blooms, snowflakes on the shoulder, even the discolorations of the sidewalk can be inspiring….like the clouds, shapes and images are everywhere ♥
Very adorable card!
Love this card and the stamp set. Thank you for sharing and for the blog hop. I have spent the last hour fascinated by all the creative people. Thanks so much.
What a special release for you!!Love new products!Thanks for chance to win!!
My brother inspires me! He has Parkinsons and was diagnosed at an early age.He always has a positive attitude and doesn’t let the disease stop him:)
It’s so fun to hear the story behind the product. The set modelled after your daughter is my favourite from the release!
My mom is the one who inspired me! She’s been through a lot and she still has a smile on her face! She has helped me through years of illness and mental problems! She helps me through life! As a teen life can be hard but she has always been there. I love her to death!
On another note love the cards and I have to order this :D
So many fun new things! That card is adorable and so is that stamp set.
Love all these! Hard to pick a favorite!
What a darling card!!!!
OMG OMG OMG!! TOTALLY IN LOVE with the New Release!! THANKS FOR SHARINGandhave a Fabulous Weekend!!! :-)
so excited about these new ideas. What great fun I’ll have making cards to encourage others.
Thanks again for another great release.
I have been inspired by all the great Design Team members at SSS! I almost stopped scrapping and card making because I felt I had lost all my creativity. I have connected with so many people and have found such great inspiration through SSS! Love, love, love this release! …and now that I know it was inspired by your daughter, that makes it even better! Hoping this release chases winter away and brings on warmer temps and bright sunshine!
Great new release. I love the stamps and I have a wish list started! That grid stencil is pretty awesome too!
Oh how wonderfully special to have Shari design that set after Abby! Years ago I worked with a gal whose mom worked for a now out of business stamp company who named some of their stamps after my co-worker’s kids & I thought that was pretty neat! Love the new release–lots more for my wishlist!
Such a great release!
What a cute image. Great job on the coloring. I like the simplicity of it! This is also a great release, there are quite a few things I see that I would love to play around with!
The products look wonderful. I am on my way to hop and find how they are being used and get inspired. Great release!
Just wanted to add that I really enjoyed this hop and to say how amazing and talented your designers are.
Great release, great hop! So much inspiration. Thanks to all the talented ladies who shared their creativity:)

This is a special New Release Kit. I think it is my favorite of all. I have learned so much from the SSS designers and other people such as I by them sharing their talents. SSS keeps me hopping ALL THE TIME with inspiration to work on another project and to stretch my creativity. I am upping my skills, thanks to SSS blog.
Looks like Shari did and excellent job capturing Abby and her spirit in the stamps!! Great products!!
