Simon Says Stamp - June 2022 Card Kit, Happiest Wishes

Hello Lovelies! All the sunny greetings from Simon Says Stamp's Happiest Wishes Card Kit! I made 4 Clean and Simple (CAS) cards for you to give a try.

I leaned heavily on all the pretty patterned paper to create vibrant backgrounds for 3 of the 4 cards and did a little stenciling with the enclosed Stickles Gel to bring on the sunshine for the 4th card.

I didn't even get to use all the items in the kit, because there's so much to play with!

Cut the Neenah Solar White Cardstock into 2 equal pieces measuring 5 1/2 x 8 1/2". Cut one of those pieces into 2 equal pieces measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". Use one of the 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" pieces of cardstock to create the ink-blended panel as shown below: Set aside the remaining pieces for other cards.

INK-BLENDING

Using the Large Simon Citrine Blending Brush, blend Lemonade and Sherbet inks onto the cardstock as shown below:

STENCILING

Secure the ink blended panel to your surface ( I am using a Wendy Vecchi Make Art Stay-tion) and apply the Stickles Gel using a palette knife.

Create the card base, trim the patterned layer, fussy-cut the sentiments an adhere the patterned strip to the card base.

Pop up fussy-cut sentiments with Foam Tape and adhere to card front.

I first stenciled the Stickles Gel onto white cardstock, but decided that it packed more of a punch with a little ink-blended color!

It's all about the sun for this card!

Some jewels emphasize the sun rays and draw attention to the sunny sentiments.

Be the Sunshine Lovelies!

COLORING

Stamp the bear with balloon image in Memento Tuxedo Black and color as shown with the selected Copic Markers. Finish by cutting the image out by hand or with the coordinating dies (not included in the Kit).

STAMPING AND LAYERING

I did it backwards here, so I recommend that you stamp the sentiment and stars first BEFORE popping-up the patterned layer with foam tape and adhering to a Mini Slimline card base. I am using a pre-cut and scored on from Simon Says Stamp.

Adhere jewels to finish!
