Rainbow SUMMERTIME card, seashells and sequins; text: Simon Says Stamp Shine On Release, Happy Cover Summer Card

Hello Lovelies! The Pawsitively Saturated Inks from Simon Says Stamp give you so many options to create a beautiful color story for your crafting. Today, I'm choosing some of my favorite blues and greens to do some bold paper-piecing with the Tall Happy Cover from Simon Says Stamp's Shine On Release. This card is all about the color and with the help of a bold die like this one, you can quickly have a fresh and fabulous Cover Plate Summer Statement card for your Seasonal crafting!

Cute birthday card with squirrels and pastel balloons on a yellow embossed background; text says Up, up and hooray-it’s your birthday! — I'm thinking Beachy Summer Breeze with the colors for this card.
