May - Kind Heart card kit from Simon Says Stamp

Hi there.  Hope everyone is having a great week.  It's Friday and the weekend is finally here! I thought it would never come.

Today's post is about the beautiful May card kit from Simon Says Stamp called Kind Heart.  It is full of so many amazing goodies.  There are two stamp sets.  The Everything Together stamp set is 6x8 with gorgeous lettering. The picture above shows an A2 sized card and how the largest stamp fills up the card.  It's truly stunning!



I used emboss resist technique on the card front.  I added VersaMark ink and then embossed using a glitter embossing powder to give it a sparkly effect.  After that, I used Wild Honey Distress Oxide Ink to cover most of the card front and then wiped away the ink to reveal the prettiness. I love using this technique when I want a solid background for bold lettering stamps.





I used one of the sheets from the Pinkfresh studio paper pack that was included in the kit and cut it into strips. I added those to a Neenah Desert Storm card base.  Then I added the wave line stamp in white pigment ink for some contrast.
I love way this card came out.  It looks very natural.










                                               
My next card is a simple one layer card but so pretty.  I used another sheet of paper from the Pinkfresh studio paper pack.  I love the blue background on the paper.  I did a very simple die cut inlay for the stamped part using a scalloped edge die from my stash.  Then I added some of the epoxy heart stickers, again, from Pinkfresh Studio.  I tried to pull out some of the leafy colors from the paper.  Finally I added some Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets to finish off the card.  Like I said, simple but so pretty.


For my last card, I used the second stamp set included with the kit.  This is a 3x4 stamp set called Take Heart.  I tried my hand at water coloring for this stamp.  This is definitely out of my comfort zone.  But I just had to try it. I embossed the black ink so I could keep within the lines of the stamp.  I cut it out using a scalloped edge dies from Sugar Pea Designs Card Front Element Builder set.
The May kit comes with a beautiful word die "heart" and the shadow die. I added some shimmer with a Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Pen.  LOVE that shimmer!! This card was also finished with Pretty Pink Posh clear droplets.



I absolutely love this kit for this month!!  So many elements to use to make such pretty cards.
Unfortunately, it is sold out but the elements of the kit are sold separately if you wish to purchase.

Thanks for taking the time to read my post.  Until next time, I hope your days are filled with many blessings and much love.

I used Zig markers to color in the birdies for both cards. I love how they blend so easily on Bristol Smooth card stock. For my first card I was in a rainbow mood. I used Bristol smooth card stock with the MFT cloud stencil and distress oxide inks. I had fun with this 😂. The little birdies are so cute. You can't see it in the pictures but the sentiments have little hearts in the O's. I added clear Nuvo drops to finish off the card. I love how they pick up each color of ink used. For my second card, I used MFT radiati

April Love to Scrap Challenge Blog #120 - Male Call

Hi everyone. It's April 1st and that means the start of a new LTSCB #120 Male Call. I am so excited to participate for this month because we are creating masculine cards with stamps from Bugaboo Digi Stamps .  I don't have many masculine cards. I hear these types are cards are harder to create and I can see why. Most of my stamps are floral or frilly, LOL.  ------>> CLICK HERE   to join the challenge <<--------- YOU COULD WIN DIGI STAMPS!!! Look at this adorable little guy!!  Let's get into how I made this card.  I colored him with Zig Clean Color Brush Markers on some Strathmore Bristol Smooth card stock.  This is the best card stock to use with Zig Markers. Because they are water based brush markers they blend very easily. I tried to do a fade out in the letters for DAD.  The patterned paper is from Scrapping for Less. I love the metal arrow for embellishment. My second card I used Zig Markers again. This is my favorite medium to use
