Simon Says Stamp | September 2017 Card Kit – Sending Lots Of Color Your Way

Hello, friends! Simon’s September 2017 card kit is full of vibrant colors and delicious celebratory images.

For no apparent reason I seem to rarely use colored cardstock from my kits and I just hoard it and hoard it and keep it for later. Yet that “later” never comes. This time I decided to challenge myself to use mainly just the cardstock from my kit to create vibrant, colorful cards.

CARDS DETAILS

I made 3 cards in total, all using colored cardstock (and a bit of patterned paper), stamps and exclusive enamel shapes. My first card, Happy Birthday, was created by adhering colored cardstock at an angle onto an A2 card base. I first added Doll Pink, next tucked Audrey Blue, added Lavender and finished off with Cotton Candy.

After having created a bold geometric background I did some stamping in black ink. I stamped “Birthdays Are For Fun, Friends and Eating Your Weight In Cake”; added a row of Birthday candles, two black stripes and a few more Birthday-themed sentiments from the stamp set included in the kit.

Next, I embellished two of the colored panels with enamel shapes – I used foam adhesive and popped them up (cupcakes and ice cream) so some dimension.

I also made a slightly smaller, 4 Bar card. I started working on this one by stamping “Sending Lots Of Color Your Way” sentiment. Next, I adhered pieces of colored cardstock at an angle framing the message.

I overlapped many of the colors to create movement and adhered enamel dots in matching color onto most of the sections. Lastly, I added 3 enamel hearts above the sentiment.

I hardly touched the patterned papers in my kit – so there are still plenty of supplies left to play with.
