Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Blog Hop

Welcome to the final stop on the Simon Says Stamp STAMPtember® Blog Hop. Today I am participating in a HUGE hop, showing you some of SSS's brand new releases. And now, a word from SSS:

The new release goodies are awesome... so much variety!! And so much possibility...
So, I have 4 cards to share with you. Yay!!
Here is my first card. I used the fun Whimsical Flowers stamp set here, stamping on polka dot paper, and adding Pink Liquid Pearls and a sprinkling of white glitter to each flower centre.

That background paper - it's from a Christmas pad... but I'm pretending those snowflakes are flowers. :)

Next, a simple feathery card, featuring the FABULOUS Curved Edge Die. Love this die!!!!! What a GREAT idea. I also used the pretty Feathers dies, the Sketchy Banner die, and a sentiment from Handwritten Greetings.

To give my feathers a little sparkle, I dragged them roughly through Glossy Accents then added some white glitter.

Next, a kitty card which uses the adorable Hey Pumpkin cat... I customised it to create kitty in bed!!  Again, I used the Curved Edge Die and the smaller Sketchy Banner dieDSC_0002
Oh, and I couldn't resist adding a few little hearts...cat
And my final card, which features the Big Hello die. I love this die... a LOT. :) I made a shaker card, adding some acetate behind the negative die cut, then adding sequins and beads:
