Simon Says Stamp June Card Kit Card

Happy Tuesday! I have another Simon card for you today!

Last week we revealed the June Card Kit, so today was perfect for creating a card using the kit. This is a different style for me, but at the same time… familiar. :) A more soft, vintage feel can translate to different styles and aesthetics, too. I generally go for a more clean look, and I think I still achieved that even though I used more vintage supplies and imagery.

This kit is just yummy. Plus, you get two stamp sets with it. Totally worth it in my mind. Plus, the papers are gorgeous, too.

Anyhow, enjoy! You can pick up a June Card Kit by itself, or you can subscribe to receive this kit and future kits.

MACM – Glitter Love

by Kristina Werner on May 14, 2012

in Cards, Make a Card Monday, Videos

Hello! Sending you lots of glittery love today! Hope your weekend was wonderful! :)

For today’s Make a Card Monday card and video and I wanted to try out the American Crafts Glitter Tape. It’s been out for a while, but I haven’t really had a chance to play with it too much until now. Or rather, I haven’t thought about it too much until now. :)

Anyhow, I used the glitter tape to create a pattern. Super easy and simple. A bit time consuming, but totally worth it in my opinion. I finished the card off with some white Thickers and a punched heart that I covered with red Stickles glitter glue. Lots of sparkles today!

Hi all! I have another Simon card for you today. And I adore this sunny card. :)

I just adore this stamp set from Ali Edwards and Technique Tuesday. It’s just calling out to be used with a yellow sun rays card, don’t you think? It just makes me happy. :)

To create the rays pattern on the card, I created a template. You can DOWNLOAD THE TEMPLATE HERE. It’s a PDF file that you can print out and use to make your own sunshine rays card. Enjoy!

Morning! I have another Simon card for you today. :)

For today’s card, I wanted to do some white heat embossing on cardstock vellum. It turned out so great with the Flower Medley Background stamp from Hero Arts and BasicGrey! I also made some glitter hearts with Art-C silver glitter.

Anyhow, enjoy!
