Hello Lovelies! Simon Says Stamp's Let's Celebrate Kit has all the bold vibrancy and playfulness of Summer, while celebrating Birthdays with sweet sentiments in cool fonts and withsimple line art. I paired with some coordinating Simon Says Stamp nested shape dies and made 4 Clean and Simple (CAS) cards for you today.
This a definitely a kit that is all about the patterned paper though, and you get beautiful designs from Vicki Boutin's Sweet Rush Paper Pad to play with and as you can see, they are the central focus of most of my cards here!
Those papers gave me so many simple card ideas that I was bummed that I only had time to make four!
