So Very Loved - Simon Says Stamp Always There Release

Good morning! I had a tiny bit of leftover die cut pieces from a card I shared a couple days ago, so I had to put them to use and create another cute little strawberry card using the NEW Simon Says Stamp Always There Release! This is my 3rd card using this set, and I still can't get enough!

As I mentioned above, I still had one little set of the Strawberry Pint dies from the previous card I posted a few days ago (you can see it HERE). For those cards, I die cut using Lipstick, Green Apple, Green Leaf, Honey, and white cardstocks, then ink blended a bit of Brick ink on the red layer of the strawberries, a bit of Kale on the large leaves, and a bit of Buttercream ink on the white flowers. I pulled out some fun Simple Stories Pink Lemonade pattern paper and cut it with one of the new Rounded Rectangles dies to create a fun coordinating background, then die cut a Stitched Rectangle from Starlight cardstock - the perfect soft gray tone. I grabbed a die cut banner from EZ Strips XL Banners (sometimes I cut them on their own to use with other sentiments or to tuck into a card like this), and used one side of it to arrange my little berry cluster. I added sentiments stamped and die cut with Keep Palm, and a little sprinkle of Sprout Dazzling Gems to finish this simple little card off! Here is a closer look:

Patterned Paper Hexagon Thank You - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Today I have a simple geometric card to share featuring some pretty pattern paper and all die cutting - no stamping at all! I love this die set from Simon Says Stamp, and hadn't had a chance to use it yet. Pairing a nested die with pattern paper is a fun way to use several sizes on one card!

I used the Basic Shapes Hexagons paired with some of the Carta Bella Silly Goose 6x6 pattern paper pad. I also used one of the more neutral papers for the background, adding some black splatter on for some extra interest. I die cut 3 sizes of the hexagons from different papers, and then layered them on with foam adhesive. The sentiment is a CZ Designs Thank You, cut from black cardstock for the shadow layer to make it pop, and white for the main one. I found some Simple Stories Enamel dots that PERFECTLY coordinated for a tone on tone bit of texture, and love the fun addition those make! Finally, I rounded off two opposite corners for some interest! Here are more photos of this card:

Best Mom Ever - Simon Says Stamp

Good morning! Mother's Day will be here so soon, and I couldn't resist those little Highland Cows one more time - and how cute is this sweet little baby?!? I used lots of supplies from Simon Says Stamp to put this sweet and simple card together - plus, I even used up another leftover from the last card I posted!

That pretty ink blended Basic Circle? Well, I wasn't even planning to keep that, it was what I used as a mask for the card I shared yesterday. But it looked so pretty, I decided it needed it's own place on a card! It coordinated so lovely with some pattern paper from the Carta Bella Silly Goose paper pad, and a little die cut Scalloped Circle set it off nicely. I had that sweet little cow from Highland Cows already stamp and clear heat embossed, so it was all ready to go! I added a sentiment from Thanks, Mom - also from another project that I hadn't used it for - and a bit of Lawn Fawn white twine tied around the entire card. Finished off with a sprinkle of coordinating Glitter Enamel Dots! Here are more photos of this little card:

Neutral Love You - Simon Says Stamp May 2026 Card Kit

Good morning! I'm dropping by to share another card using the newest May 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Long Stem Florals! This month's kit has some fun florals with a modern feel, and some elements with a vintage twist - such a fun combo! The included stamp set by the same name has a fun set of coordinating stencils included for some creative fun. There are some rub-ons, pattern paper, embossing glaze (colors may vary), distress crayon, fun frames and floral embellishments, and that's all not to mention the cardstock, metallic kraft stock, and more! And, there is also a coordinating die available that is live in the store now as well!

The monthly card kit has even more perks now when you sign up for the Subscription service! There is a video HERE you can watch to learn more!

This card features a simple monochromatic color scheme - if you left the little flower embellishments off, I think it would work fabulous for a masculine card! I started off with a panel of watercolor cardstock, and the Walnut Stain Distress Crayon in the kit. I scribbled a line down the entire panel, then misted with water, and used a brush to spread the color around the panel. Once that dried, I tore the edges off and adhered onto a white cardbase. I chose that one main pre-printed panel from the Simple Stories pattern paper in the kit, and used a small strip of a different piece to tuck underneath it. Finished off with a little cluster of those pretty Heirloom Roses embellishments! Here is a closer look at the finished card:

This card really features the amazing pattern papers, and some other little touches to bump them up a notch! I trimmed the one pattern piece down to size for my cardfront - all I can think of was those little drawers that I used to hunt through at the library when I was a kid to find a book. Anyone else know what I'm talking about? Ah...the memories! Does that make me old?!? Anyway - back to the card, haha! I used some text paper for the background (another nod to the library idea), a bit of May Arts Ivory Faux Silk ribbon tied in a fluffy bow wrapped around that panel. For extra details, I used a couple of the Heirloom Roses embellishments in the kit, a sentiment from the Long Stem Florals stamp set in the kit (die cut with the separately available coordinating die), and a few Dazzling Gems in Gold as the finishing touch!

Framed Florals Mom Card - Simon Says Stamp May 2026 Card Kit

 Hello! I'm dropping by to share my first card using the newest May 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Long Stem Florals! This month's kit has some fun florals with a modern feel, and some elements with a vintage twist - such a fun combo! The included stamp set by the same name has a fun set of coordinating stencils included for some creative fun. There are some rub-ons, pattern paper, embossing glaze (colors may vary), distress crayon, fun frames and floral embellishments, and that's all not to mention the cardstock, metallic kraft stock, and more!

I love how this card turned out, using lots of goodies from the kit! I fell in love with those metal frames, and knew I wanted to use those. They felt like a perfect fit for some of the pattern paper in the kit, so I chose a few frames and glued some sections of the pattern paper behind the frames. While those dried, I swiped an embossing ink pad on some white cardstock, and then sprinkled on some of the Abandoned Coral embossing glaze in my kit (you might get a different color of that). This provided the perfect sketchy color background for those frames, popped up on thin foam adhesive for a touch of dimension. I added a bit of pattern paper behind that, then mounted on a cardbase created with the Ivory cardstock in the kit. I stamped a few sentiments from the stamp set, and die cut them with the separately available coordinating dies, then mounted all the frames and sentiments with foam adhesive. Finished off with a few pearl embellishments! Here is a closer look at this finished card:

Masculine Highland Cow Birthday - Simon Says Stamp

 Good morning! Back one last time with the final masculine card from the collection I created the other day using supplies from Simon Says Stamp. The ones I made before were in trios, and this one is just a single one that is a bit more layered and intricate! And...it uses up the final leftover from the first cards too! 

For this card, I wanted to use the inside leftover pieces from the first cards, cut from the Carta Bella Cowboys and Cowgirl paper pads, cut with the Square Shaker die. They were small enough that instead of putting them each on a separate card, I thought they would mix well on one card! I grabbed the Dancing Starlets embossing folder and embossed some Lawn Fawn Speckled Eggshell cardstock to create a soft textured background, then adhered those pattern paper squares overlapping in the center. I die cut the Ornate Star die from Honey Gold cardstock to add a touch more interest, then stacked one of the Highland Cows over the top, stamped in black ink and clear heat embossed to make it pop a bit extra. Sentiments are from Birthday Basics for the main one, and EZ Strips birthday for the second one, cut with EZ Strips banners die. I rounded off one corner of the entire card, and then added a few more coordinating enamel dots to finish this one off! Here is a closer look:
