Hello - Simon Says July Card Kit

Hello my friends, it's that exciting time of the month when the Simon Says Stamp card kit arrives and woohoo, the Pop Art July 2026 card kit is amazing, chock full with great products to spark your creativity and if you head over to Simon Says Stamp HERE, you can subscribe to the kit if you don't already, purchase individual items from the kit and find a selection of great add-on products to use alongside the kit. 

I made an easy 5 step card using only products from the kit, the Pop Art 6" x 8" stamp set, Simon Says Black heavyweight cardstock, Clear Prism Dazzling Gems and some of my favourite colours of Distress Oxide inks. You could switch up the ink colours and chunky sentiments to create a variety of cards for different occasions.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4", inked the wonky circle from the Pop Art 6" x 8" stamp set with Kitsch Flamingo, Scattered Straw, Tumbled Glass and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks and stamped randomly over the panel.

I stamped the circles and star, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.

I stamped Hello twice on to the panel and once on to a scrap of Distress Watercolor, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink. There are dies available for the stamp set (linked below) but I don't have them yet, so I fussy cut around the sentiment and fixed in place with Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam Squares.

I smooshed Kitsch Flamingo and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks on to my glass mat and used a Detailer Waterbrush to colour the trimmed sentiment to match with the background.

I added the Simon Says Clear Prism Dazzling Gems.

To finish I fixed the panels to A2 panels trimmed from the Black Heavyweight card included in the kit and fixed to an A2 white blank, trimmed, scored and folded from the Neenah Solar White card also included in the kit.

I'll be back soon to share more makes with the kit, in the meantime, have fun with whatever you are creating.

Hello my friends, I'm back to share cards made with Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Moth Study and the newly released Moth Study co-ordinating dies from Simon Says Stamp. You can check out the 6 sets of dies released this month HERE.

I trimmed Distress Mixed Media HeavyStock to create 3 - 4" x 5.1/4" panels and coloured using Evergreen Bough, Dusty Concord and Tea Dye Distress Oxide inks and a Distress Sprayer.

I fixed torn strips of Idea-ology Entomology Collage Paper in place with Distress Collage Medium.

I stamped the moth images from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Moth Study on to Distress Mixed Media HeavyStock, inked with Ground Espresso Distress Archival ink and coloured with Distress Watercolor Pencils (colours linked below) using a Detailer Waterbrush.

I repeated using the small label and number images and die-cut using the Simon Says Stamp Moth Study co-ordinating dies.

I fixed Idea-ology Mummy Cloth and Black Hemp Twine to 2 of the panels and added the moths popped up on Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam Squares to create dimension.

I also added the die-cut labels and numbers popped up on Thin 3D Foam Squares and inked around the edges of the panels with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a Tiny Blending Tool.

I stamped the sentiments from Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Tiny Text on to Distress Black HeavyStock, inked with Versamark, sprinkled with Simon Says Stamp Cream Embossing Powder, heat set and fixed in place with Thin 3D Foam Squares.

To finish I matted the panels on to Distress Black HeavyStock and fixed to A2 white card blanks.

FOOD AND/OR DRINK

While I wait for Summer to arrive, I'm dreaming of drinking cocktails on a beach in an exotic faraway place. To create my card, I used Tim Holtz/Stampers Anonymous Tiny Text and Simon Says Tiny Text co-ordinating dies, Tim Holtz/Sizzix Happy Hour and Vault World Travel Thinlits.

I created the background on Distress Watercolor card using Evergreen Bough and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks. I inked the Tiny Text stamp with Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink and stamped on to the background.  I applied Distress Translucent Gloss Texture Paste through the Mini Ringer Layering Stencil from Set 7 and once dry, added the globe die-cut from Idea-ology Blac KraftStock using the Vault World Travel Thinlits.

I coloured Distress Watercolor card with Mustard Seed, Abandoned Coral, Spiced Marmalade, Crackling Campfire, Peeled Paint and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks using mini round blending tools. I die-cut the Happy Hour Thinlits base layer from vellum, the additional pieces from the coloured card and fixed in place with Distress Collage Medium.

I fixed the die-cuts in place on Thin 3D foam squares and added splatters of Fossilized Amber Distress Spritz.

I inked the sentiments from Tiny Text with Versamark ink, stamped on to scraps of Idea-ology Black KraftStock, sprinkled with White Embossing Powder, heat set, die-cut with the Tiny Text co-ordinating dies and fixed to the panel with Thin 3D Foam Squares. I added the die-cut plane and arrow from the Vault Word Travel Thinlits.

To finish I trimmed the panel to 4" x 5.1/4" and fixed to an A2 white card blank.
