Valentine Note Card Set - Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit

  Good morning! I'm popping in today with a little set of cards using BRAND NEW February 2022 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Season of Sentiments! My kit this month took a bit of a detour and came later than normal, so it took me a bit longer to get something created to share. :) This month's kit is filled with sweet valentine themed products! The included stamp set by the same name has a huge beautiful floral design, there is also a smaller stamp set with some great sentiments, of course some sweet pattern paper, a cute word die...that's all not to mention the cardstock, envelopes, and more!

I had fun with the pattern paper in this kit to quickly put together this set of 4 note cards!


These fun panels from the Simple Stories Happy Hearts 6x8 papers in the kit had 4 on one sheet of paper - I only used half of them, and still have 4 more I can create more cards with!


These papers are double sided...and the reverse side was so pretty, I wanted to at least let a small peek of it show through on the front of my card, so I folded over a corner, and added a small twine bow with my tiny stapler as a fun design element.


I also tucked some more of that pattern paper behind each one - that striped design was the perfect match for all of these! I trimmed them down to small panels to fit behind and peek out just slightly.


I adhered everything down just with an adhesive runner, but I left the edges free, and curled them up a bit with my fingers. This gives the illusion of dimension, without having to have lots of bulky weight from foam adhesive and such. One of my favorite tricks!


It also might be hard to see in the photos, but on each card, I also pulled out my favorite new white gel pen from Arteza and added a bit of detail accents. I have tried SOOO many white gel pens and struggled with them clogging, and so far, these are magical! They work SOOO well!


Finally, a little row of sparkly Glacier Jewels in the bottom corner to add a touch of sparkle and balance the design!


Here is a closer look at the entire kit contents - you can see it all HERE:



Which design is your favorite? I'm a bit partial to the balloons...although that fun frosty drink makes me think of bubble tea which I love, so that is fun too!
