Paper Pieced Poppies - Simon Says Stamp April Card Kit

 Hello! I'm popping in to share my first cards using the BRAND NEW April 2022 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Poppy Perfection! This month's kit is full of beautiful poppies in stamp and pattern paper form! The included stamp set by the same name has several beautiful poppy images and fun sentiments, there is some gorgeous pattern paper, some fun acetate decorative elements, sequin mix...that's all not to mention the cardstock, envelopes, and more!

I have a simple card to share first, featuring a bit of stamping and paper piecing!


I love the beautiful poppy images in the stamp set, and the largest one is particularly lovely, so I decided to focus on that one on my card. And instead of coloring, I thought it would be fun to paper piece it.


I used some of the pattern paper in the kit, choosing one that had a fairly simple pattern, and would work for paper piecing the flowers. It was actually leftover scraps from another card that I will share soon - so a perfect way to use it all up!


I stamped the flowers, fussy cut them out, and attached with a glue pen to the flowers. I loved leaving the leaves and stems solid black - and how it pulls the focus to the flowers so well. I also stamped the sentiment in black in the open space.


I matted that panel with some more pattern paper from the kit, and added another tiny strip of the same pattern paper that I still had left behind the bottom. Once again, not wasting any of that paper, and I love how it draws the entire card together, adding one additional pop of red!


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


I have a couple more cards to share over the next few days too!
