Hi there! How are you? Our weekend was full of lots of creative time and football time! I hope you had a nice weekend where you live! I'm here today for the Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit Blog Hop! Woot woot! Loads of projects on this hop. And, this kit is so great!
Today's card features the gorgeous new October 2015 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp. WOW. These colors! The entire kit is so fresh and pretty and feminine. Lots of pink and gold and some very cool project cards – think typewriters and hearts and butterflies. Delicious!
Did you arrive from the extra fabulous Shari's Blog? Welcome! If you need to start at the beginning of the hop CLICK HERE. After me is the awesome Yana! So much inspiration today. It's one of my favorite things — to see what we all make when given the exact same supplies.
Here's the card I made for the hop today:
I layered a bunch of the papers together and then layered on the butterfly project card last. The kit comes with a gold ink pad and I stamped one of the sentiments onto a paper flag. I cut some of the butterflies out of the patterned paper and scattered them on my card.
I distressed all my edges and turned up the corners, for a more shabby-chic look. Then I die cut the "hello" die cut in rich black to offset the pretty colors.
I hope you've found some card kit inspiration here. This one is a great one!! It's perfect for cards and also really great for you Project Lifers out there! I like that Simon Says Stamp will let you buy one kit at a time without a subscription so you can do what fits your budget and style. Thanks Simon!!
PRIZE ALERT!!!! Simon is going to select a random blog comment on EACH and EVERY stop along the hop to receive a $25 gift card to redeem at SSS. YAY! Winners will be announced this Friday!
