Cool Summer, Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit

06/14/2018

Hello! I am sharing with you today a few cards made with the new Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit! I love their card kits- you can make so many different cards with just one kit.

Cool Summer, Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit

I LOVE all things summer, so you can imagine how much I am enjoying this kit! The 6×8 exclusive stamp set, One Cool Pineapple is wicked fun! I love how the sentiments pair up with the images. This makes for quick and easy, yet CUTE cards!

Simon Says Stamp, One Cool Pineapple

For the flamingo card, I used some of the Carta Bella 6×6 papers that came in the kit. I tore the paper to look like waves, tearing towards yourself. Then I stamped the sentiment with Lawn Fawn’s Plastic Flamingo Ink, and matted it in some of the cardstock that came in the kit. I stamped, colored and cut out the flamingo ( the kit comes with a coordinating die!!! )

I used a quickie glue pen and added some prisma glitter to the word ” flamingo” and then added some Tonic, Nuvo Shimmer pen on the wings of the flamingo. Lastly, I added some of the new Summer Gold Sequins to the card.

For this fun pineapple card, I started by doing a little bit of ink smooshing on some Distress Watercolor Cardstock with Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide, and Wild Honey Distress Ink (I love mixing both oxides and regular distress ink, it’s magical!). I stamped the sunshine and sentiment from the stamp set. On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped the pineapple and sunglasses. I colored in the pineapple and fussy cut them both out, adding some prisma glitter to the pineapple. I adhered them to the card, and added some black glaze pen and glossy accents to the sunglasses. I finished off the card with a few sequins.

The last card I created, was the easiest and happens to be my favorite! On a sheet of Distress Watercolor Cardstock, I watercolored the bands of color. My tips for doing this is to use a wide brush, the width you want the bands. I then swipe a line of water across the cardstock. Then I go over the same line of water with the paint, in this instance, I used both Distress Oxide and regular Distress in Picked Raspberry.

On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped the watermelon slice, colored it in, added some prisma glitter and black glaze pen on the seeds. I stamped the sentiment onto the card and added the fruit slice.

There are so many other combinations I could create with this awesome ard kit, I can’t wait to play with it a bit more!

I hope you enjoy these cards and find them inspiring for when you get your kit!

    Great cards, Jenn!! Loving the stripes on the melon card! It’s after 10:30 at night and I’m craving watermelon now! 😊 I think you’ve sold me on the kit this month since I’m a subscriber and I wasn’t sure I wanted it when I first saw it. Now, I have a bunch of ideas swirling around. Thanks for the inspiration!

    I’m crushing so hard on the “Your one in a melon”!! That pink (my FAV color) background is beautiful!!! 😍 Gotta try that one out. The other 2 cards, are just as fabulous. That’s definitely the perfect summer box! Unfortunately, by the time I make it home to order it, they’ll be gone. Happens every time! Lol
