Hi friends! The new Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine release is now available, and my gosh does it have some absolutely darling new products!! From sweet little bunnies to flowers to farm critters to elegant embossing folders, this release truly has such a wide variety that there’s something for everybody! I am a sucker for gorgeous silhouette images with intricate patterns inlaid in them, which remind me of Scandinavian artwork and are so elegant. The bunnies in the super affordable new Hoppy Birthday mini stamp set are just precious, with an air of elegant simplicity that makes for a super cute card. Let’s get started with the details on my project!

To begin my project, I wanted to channel my inner Laura Bassen and stamp a row of bunnies from Hoppy Birthday in a warm rainbow, so I stamped the bunny silhouettes in Butter, Melon, Cheeky, and Rhubarb Pawsitively Saturated Inks, using a MISTI to get extra vibrant and crisp stamped images. After I had finished stamping all of the bunnies, I used the coordinating die to die cut them. The stamp set comes complete with an “insert” stamp so that you can have a multicolored image, but I was going for crisp white with a pop of warm colors, so I left the pattern blank and allowed the bright white cardstock to do the work for me!
Because these bunnies are generously-sized, I increased the size of my card base to an A7 in order to accommodate them all in a horizontal line. I trimmed down a 4″x6″ panel of white cardstock, then used the Simon Says Stamp 6″ T-square ruler to line the bunnies up perfectly straight, adhering them with thin foam adhesive squares. I matted the 4″x6″ bunny panel with an ever-so-slightly larger piece of Dazzling Diamond Glitter Cardstock from Altenew, adding a teeny bit of sparkle.
For the greeting, I stamped several of the sentiment components from the new Happy Eggs stamp set and heat embossed them with silver glitter embossing powder. I die cut the finished embossed sentiments with their super-detailed dies and arranged them beneath the line of bunnies. Finally, I adhered the glitter-matted bunny panel to an A7 card base with some Tear-rifically Tacky Tape!
Well, that’s all for my project today. Be sure to check out the rest of the new Simon Says Stamp Rain or Shine release and check back here later this week for even more inspiration using these beautiful new products! Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a marvelous day!
