Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Dream Big Day 1 Blog Hop!
Today I have a set of four beautiful cards featuring lots of new products from the Dream Big Release: Talavera Vine, Big & Bold Stamp/Die Combo, Layered Hummingbird, Blossom Vine, Alstroemeria Stem, and Sword Fern. The bright, lovely colors of these cards are perfect for many different occasions. You could even leave the sentiments off until you need a card and add the sentiment for the occasion!
