Glitter Pen Birthday Wishes - Simon Says Stamp May Card Kit

 Hello! I'm popping in to share my first cards using the (sort of new) May 2022 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Best Year Yet! This month's kit is a fun birthday theme - which I love! Birthday cards are my most frequently needed cards, and my birthday happens to be in May as well, so it couldn't be more perfect. The included stamp set by the same name has some fun birthday images and sentiments, there is some pretty Pastel color blend cardstock, a birthday word die, glitter pens, embellishment wand...that's all not to mention the cardstock, envelopes, and more!

I'm starting off today sharing a super clean and simple card that I created in a bout of late night crafting...gotta love when you can be creative when you can't sleep, right?

For this first card, I was looking at the pretty glitter pens in all their rainbow color tones, and suddenly thought how fun it would be to create some stripe patterns. I used a ruler, and grabbed a panel of white cardstock, picked a fun angle, and then just kept adding a line of color with the pens, and moving the ruler a bit to get even lines as I went along. I then turned it, and repeated the same lines, but in a different angle. Once I had those done, I trimmed the panel down slightly, and added my stamped sentiments and sparkle images from the stamp set. I mounted that panel with foam on a Fog gray cardbase, and kept it clean and simple! This could also be a more one layer and easy to mail card if you left out the foam adhesive layer. Here are a few more photos of the card - it's hard to capture the sparkle from the glitter pens, but there's a photo towards the end that shows it a bit better:
