Simon Says - A Grateful Heart

Hello my friends, I'm back to share another card using products from the amazing value for money Simon Says Stamp Be Your Beautiful Self February 2026 card kit which is still available to purchase. You can buy the kit, subscribe to future kits if you don't already or purchase individual items from the kit HERE.

I created a card using the Be Your Beautiful Self 6" x 8" stamp set and the co-ordinating dies, Artful Palette Stencils and Dies, Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Orange Palette Collection papers and Simon Says Stamp Cosmos Duo Wafer Dies.

I trimmed the Ivory cardstock included in the kit to make a 4" x 5.1/4" panel. I used a baby wipe to apply Dried Marigold and Rusty Hinge Distress Paints and dried. I placed one of the Artful Palette Stencils over the panel and dabbed Rusty Hinge Distress Paint using the same baby wipe through the stencil.

I die-cut the Artful Palette shapes from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Orange Palette Collection paper and fixed to the panel with Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Perfect Craft Glue. I stamped the sentiment from the Be Your Beautiful Self stamp set, inked with Ground Espresso Distress Archival ink and fixed the panel to an A2 Ivory card blank.

I die-cut Simon Says Stamp Cosmos Duo from Distress Watercolor card and the Orange Palette Collection paper, coloured the stem with Ground Espresso Distress Archival ink and the centres of the flowers with Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide ink using a Round Detail Brush, assembled and fixed to the panel with 3D Thin Foam Squares.

I stamped the sentiment from Be Your Beautiful Self on to a scrap of Distress Watercolor card, inked with Ground Espresso Distress Archival ink, die-cut with the co-ordinating dies (which are not included with the kit and are a separate purchase) and fixed in place with 3D Thin Foam Squares.

To finish I added Trinity Stamps Creamy Vanilla Heart Sprinkles.
