Holding You in my Heart - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

 Good morning! Dropping by today with another card featuring the BRAND NEW Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release! I've used one of those lovely new cardstock colors again, and paired it with several other new items from the release to create a shaker card!

I started off with one of my favorites of the new cardstock colors - Seashell. It's such a soft and pretty pastel tone! I embossed it with the new Apple Blossoms embossing folder to create some texture inside my shaker window. I created my shaker window by die cutting another favorite from the release - Scalloped Arches Frames from a panel of white cardstock. I then cut the same frame from Altenew glitter cardstock to inset to add the frame around my shaker. I filled my shaker with the new Cream Puff Embellishment mix. I heat embossed a flower from the Wild Rose stamp set in white on vellum for a lacy flower to add to the front, and tucked it behind a sentiment from Friendship XL EZ Strips sentiment strips that I cut with XL EZ Strips Banner die. I added a secondary sentiment from Wild Rose stamp set to finish this card off! Here is a closer look:

Floral Mother's Day Duo - Simon Says Stamp In My Heart Release

Hello! It's release day for the amazing BRAND NEW Simon Says Stamp In My Heart collection - and I'm stopping by with my first couple of cards using lots of items from the new release! I'm super excited about a few of these items (THE NEW CARDSTOCK COLORS!), and can't wait to share lots more with this release!

I am absolutely in love with the new cardstocks in sweet and soft pastels! I love each and every color, and know I will be using them a lot! I started off by die cutting the new Jaunty Stem and Fresh Crocus Duo and assembling them together. I used Seashell and Apricot for the Jaunty Stem, and Moonflower for the Crocus, then Starlight for the stems, as well as the cardbase. I die cut the new Teardrop Pinpoint Frames from white cardstock, and used popped them up with foam adhesive to use as a canvas for my design. I added the flowers with liquid adhesive, then tucked a bow on each one from the new Little Bows Dies (another favorite!) cut from Altenew glitter cardstock. I added sentiments from the new Thanks, Mom stamp and die set, stamping them in Nocturne black ink, then heat embossing with Clear Sparkle embossing powder. Finished off with a few Dazzling Gems in clear for extra sparkle! Here is a closer look at both of these fun cards:

So Much Love - Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Moments Release

 Good morning! Today I've got another card to share using some of the Beautiful Moments Release from Simon Says Stamp! I created THIS card for the release, and had a few of the lovely florals leftover that I had to put to use - they were too pretty to waste!

I also had an unused die cut Rounded Heart, and that stamped sentiment from Good Greetings 1 that I hadn't used on another project, so I added the sentiment, and tucked the florals and greenery from Wildflower Bucket die around it on the heart. I had a panel already embossed with the Fanfare Embossing folder, so I tore the edges all the way around for some texture, then wrapped and tied some Lawn Fawn white twine around that panel before adhering to my white cardbase with thin foam adhesive. I added the heart with more foam adhesive, and then embellished with a few Clear Dazzling Gems, and added Nuvo glitter drops to the centers of the flowers for extra sparkle! Here are more photos of this finished card:

Raise a Glass - Simon Says Stamp April 2026 Card Kit

 Good morning! I'm dropping by to share another card using the newest April 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - A Little Artsy! This month's kit has lots of bold and bright elements and some creative twists! The included stamp set by the same name has some coordinating dual use stencils included for lots of fun techniques. There are some rub-ons, pattern paper, twine, distress paint, black splatter, and that's all not to mention the cardstock, overlays, and mini distress oxide inks! And, there are  some great add on items available that coordinate wonderfully with this kit, and are live in the store now as well!

The monthly card kit has even more perks now when you sign up for the Subscription service! There is a video HERE you can watch to learn more! 

For this card, I decided to focus on the fun celebration toast in the rub-ons, and pair it with some of the fun pattern papers in the kit! I trimmed out some colorful squares from one piece of pattern paper, and then applied a rub-on to each one. I tore a bit of a scrap of paper to wrap around one of those panels, and made a loopy bow from some of the black twine in the kit that I attached to another with my Tiny Attacher. I tore the edges of another piece of pattern paper, added a tiny butterfly rub-on in the top left corner, and then adhered over some of the black cardstock in the kit to make it really pop! I added all my decorated tiny panels with foam adhesive, then embellished with a sprinkle of Dazzling Gems in black for a bold touch of sparkle! Here are more photos of this fun card:

Keep on Dreaming - Simon Says Stamp April 2026 Card Kit

 Hello - we have an early surprise drop of the card kit for this month! I'm dropping by to share my first card using the newest April 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - A Little Artsy! This month's kit has lots of bold and bright elements and some creative twists! The included stamp set by the same name has some coordinating dual use stencils included for lots of fun techniques. There are some rub-ons, pattern paper, twine, distress paint, black splatter, and that's all not to mention the cardstock, overlays, and mini distress oxide inks! And, there are  some great add on items available that coordinate wonderfully with this kit, and are live in the store now as well!

The monthly card kit has even more perks now when you sign up for the Subscription service! There is a video HERE you can watch to learn more! 

While much of this kit is bright and bold and fun - I love how this more light and airy card turned out! I started off by using one of the add-ons - the Petal Lattice stencil - along with the Distress Oxide Inks I got in my kit. Those will vary, but you can always mix and match others from your stash! I ink blended a bit in the corner of my cardbase with one color, used the stencil over the top in another color, then for texture, used the Mini Distress Blending Brush in the kit to brush across that in another color for some added texture - I love the tiny lines that adds! I then used a couple of the rub-ons in the kit to layer on the cardbase, and added some of the Black Splatter in the kit. I chose a couple portions of some of the pattern paper in the kit and trimmed them out, added one tiny rub-on in the corner of one, curled up the edges slightly, and adhered with thin foam tape over the top. I rounded off one corner of the cardbase, then finished off with a few Rainbow Dazzling Gems for sparkle! Here is a closer look at this finished card:

Watching You Grow - Simon Says Stamp Beautiful Moments Release

Good morning! I'm back with a tiny, sweet, and simple card using a set I shared before from the Beautiful Moments Release from Simon Says Stamp! It's the same new Rainbow Splash sweet little set that my daughter, Katie, designed! I shared a more layered and intricate card HERE, and a trio of different cards on the Simon Says Stamp blog HERE if you want more inspiration with it!

For this card, I went super sweet and simple with the Budding Blossoms set! The Rainbow Splash collection lends itself so well to these kinds of designs - and I love it! I started off by taking a standard A2 card, and trimming off the bottom to create a square card - so it is 4.25" x 4.25". I did a bit of soft ink blending around the outside with Seafoam ink, then planned my placement and stamped the florals and the bee directly onto my cardbase. I colored them in simply with Copic markers, and then stamped the watering can on Fog cardstock, and die cut with the coordinating die. I popped that up with foam adhesive, and then stamped my sentiment underneath. Finished off with a sprinkle of Dazzling Gems in clear! Here is a closer look at this card:
