Simon Says stamp September Card Kit

 Hi Everyone!


I am here to share a new Simon Says Stamp Card Kit project !
This time with the September 2022  kit!

September 2022 Card Kit Gallery | (simonsaysstampblog.com)

I used the lovely grey card that came with the last kit and embossed it using the wonderful embossing folder. I inked the edges to make the embossed flowers stand out a bit more.
I diecut a panel from the paper pad and then stamped and colored the Happy Birthday - one of the stamps in the set which also came with the kit. The sequins (also from the kit (-: ) were added using Simon's great  XL PRECISION CRAFT TACKY GLUE 









On the Simon Says Stamp blog You'll find awesome Card Kit galleries for their products where you can upload your projects to share with others or just visit to be inspired by others.  There are galleries for each month's kit which is great if you need some new ideas for how to use the things in your kit!


I'm also sharing a Stamptember card made using the fun Simon Says Clear Stamps OH FRANK :

This is my take:




How to make this card:

I started by making a cardbase and then diecutting a kraft panel that I inked using distress ink and the SSS MINI CLOUDS and Masks  . When it had dried I spattered on some white gouach paint and staped my sentiment.

132 Lawn Fawnatics Challenge: Color Board


Hi Everyone!
I'm here to share a card for the new Lawn Fawnatics Challenge. 

This time our challenge is called:   Color Board and this is my take:






I started by making a cardbase that I covered with a diecut fancy scalloped panel and then cut another panel that I inked my bg using distress oxide inks. when it was dry I added my diecut love sentiment. I embossed the birthday sentiment to a black cardstock strip and last byt not least, I created my own epoxy herats by diecutting lots of herats using the valentine border. I then put all my hearts on the sticky side of a post-it note to keep them in place while I first clored them and then added glossy accent to them. I added them to my card using the awesome Lawn Fawn Glue tube (I LOOOVE it!)
