Simon Says Stamp May 2016 Card Kit – You are my Sunshine!

Hi crafty friends! It's been a month already….since I shared the latest Simon Says Stamp Card Kit! Today I'm showing you my cards made with the kit for May 2016….and boy is it cute! The stamp set is sooooooo adorable and it has teeny sayings that fit perfectly into a word bubble. Oh…and my very favorite paper too!  The card kit is already available in the Simon Says Stamp store….You can buy one kit, or sign up for a subscription! The stamp set is also available separately!  I put all the links at the bottom for you. I made the first card and couldn't help myself, but to make another one! I think you will like this one too! Hope you are having a great week, and hope this post brings a little smile to your face. 

The images in this stamp set are sweet and also small in scale…That sort of lends itself to clean and simple card making. I used one of my go-to layouts for clean and simple cards but putting a small piece of the patterned paper across the bottom of the page and then creating a border with a bright color paper strip. I used my Copic Markers to color my images (list of colors below).  

 

 

The sequins that come in the kit are SOOOOOO pretty and iridescent! I love this assortment! 

 

 

Here are my Copic Colors that match the papers….

 

The sun and cloud are mounted onto the card with foam squares for a bit of dimension. I stamped all my images with the Simon Says Stamp Intense Black Ink. I'm starting to become a bit obsessed with cute word strip stickers! These are so cute! 

 

 

 

 

For my second card I knew I wanted to use that cute flower stamp! I stamped it several times and cut out three flowers. Then I stamped some extra leaves for layering! I had fun again coloring with my Copic Markers to make the images pop! 

 

I made my own 'flower' by layering some leaves with some vivid sequins! I wanted a bit of an accent to go with my word circle. The circle was cut using this punch. It's the perfect size! 

 

 

This finished card is a 4.25 x 4.25 inch square card. I used the pretty Stitched Squares dies to make my white layer. I hand cut the 'green grass' by hand using some scissors. No need for it to be fancy! 

Thank you so much for popping in today! I'm so excited to share new things with you! Sometimes these kits sell out – and I have the feeling this one will! Get it while it's hot! Have a great day! XOXO
