Simon Says Stamp - Step Right Up June 2026 Card Kit

Hello my friends, it's that time of the month when I get excited about the arrival of the latest card kit from Simon Says Stamp. This month's kit STEP RIGHT UP is jam packed with lots of amazing and innovative products to kick start your creativity. The card kit has SOLD OUT, no surprise there, but you can still purchase individual items from the kit or if you don't wish to miss out, subscribe to future kits HERE.

I created 2 cards using the Scattered Straw Distress Mini Oxide ink pad, Having Fun 4" x 6" stamp set, 3D Popcorn Box die, A1 pre-cored notecards, Schoolhouse Red cardstock and White Heat and Fluff, all included in the kit.

I began by creating 4 - A2 background panels on Distress Watercolour card using the Scattered Straw Distress Mini Oxide ink pad and Distress Sprayer.

I stamped the stripe from the stamp set on to Distress Watercolor card inked with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink, die-cut using the 3D Popcorn box die and assembled. I die-cut the popcorn box backer and popcorn kernels from one of the inked Scattered Straw Panels.

I trimmed 2 of the inked panels to 3.1/2" x 4.1/2" and stamped one with the burst image from the Having Fun stamp set, inked with Lumberjack Plaid 

I inked the edges of both panels and tickets from Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Ticket Book with Scorched Timber Distress Ink using a Tiny Blending Tool and fixed the tickets to the second panel using Distress Collage Medium.

I stamped the larger burst from the Having Fun stamp set on the second panel, inked with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide ink.

I used Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Tiny Attacher to fix Tim Holtz/Idea-ology Film Strip.

I fixed the die-cut Popcorn Boxes to both panels, coloured the box inserts and popcorn kernels with Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink, applied the White Heat and Fluff, heat set and added the kernels to the boxes and backgrounds.

I covered the fronts of the A1 blank cards with Schoolhouse Red cardstock and fixed the panels in place with Distress Collage Medium. I stamped the sentiments from the Having Fun stamp set on to scraps of Schoolhouse Red cardstock, inked with Simon Says Stamp White Pigment Ink, sprinkled with Simon Says Stamp Cream Embossing Powder, heat set, trimmed and fixed to the panels with Simon Says Stamp Thin 3D Foam Squares.

I'll be back soon to share more makes using this amazing kit. In the meantime, have fun with whatever you're making.
