Textured Floral Card Trio - Simon Says Stamp August 2026 Card Kit

Good morning! I'm dropping by to share a few more cards using the newest August 2026 Simon Says Stamp Card Kit - Made to Flourish! This month's kit is a wonderful and eclectic mix of florals - most of them aren't really designed to work together, but instead to give you lots of fun variety for whatever technique or style you want to use! The included Made to Flourish stamp set has some adorable floral and vase images, and super cute and playful sentiments. The coordinating dies are also included in the kit, which is amazing! There are some printed floral watercolor panels, a layered floral die, an embossing folder, beautiful floral ephemera, and that's all not to mention the cardbases, watercolor cardstock, Distress Crayons, and more! And, there are also several add on sets available in the store now!

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

I had lots of fun with this fun layered set! I actually had recently picked up THIS pack of handmade paper from SSS, and used those as the base for my cards. I trimmed a couple pieces in half to make them perfectly sized for my cardfronts (which I trimmed slightly less wide, so they are 4"x5 1/2"). I scribbled each of the 3 Distress Crayons in my kit (Festive Berries, Mowed Lawn, and Fossilized Amber) onto my glass mat, misted with water, then smooshed the handmade paper onto them to get a soft background. They are SOOO pretty and textured - I love it! Once those dried, I added a couple of the Flowers Ephemera from the kit onto each one, popping up with foam, and a sentiment from the Made to Flourish stamp and die set, heat embossed in white on black cardstock. A few coordinating Dazzling Gems in Butter, Sprout, and Taffy, and then some May Arts jute string (I added more from my stash beyond the 12" in the kit) - and these cards were finished!
