Hello everyone! It's Friday!!!
Apologies for the lack of posts and videos lately. I had a horrible chest cold last week that developed into a case of walking pneumonia (so nowhere near as serious as full-blown pneumonia - but still not fun). I got in to see my doctor and got loaded up with antibiotics and am already starting to feel a bit better. I'm resting as much as I can (with 4 kids to take care of LOL - irony....) but I still need to get posts and videos up as this is my full time+ job and I can't pay the rent or buy groceries otherwise!
I'd filmed this video a week ago and it's taken me 'till now to get it edited and uploaded. Like I mention in the video the Simon Says Stamp July Card Kit is still available but won't be for much longer - I've linked to the kit at the end of my post but you can also get the stamp set and everything individually. If you missed my unboxing video you can watch that here:

OK on to the cards:
I made 6 cards using the One Cool Pineapple stamp set in the kit - I LOVE this set! Love the big sentiments and the quirky/cute images that go along with them. I couldn't decide on which one to use so I made cards with all of them lol!
I stamped the sentiments and images onto Arteza watercolor paper with SSS Intense Black ink, then used my Arteza Real Brush pens and a water brush to color them all in.
I die cut all the panels with Simon's largest Stitched Rectangle wafer die, and added highlights and whatnot with a bold white Gelly Roll pen.
I also stepped them up with a bunch of Tonic Nuvo Glitter and Gloss drops - kind of obsessed with those still and love adding them to everything lol.
To finish off the insides of all the cards I stamped the main images multiple times using various Distress Oxide inks - and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:
