Hello everyone! OK so I shared my Unboxing Video of the Simon Says Stamp Limited Edition Valentines 2020 kit here:
SSS Limited Edition Valentines 2020 Card Kit Unboxing!
I started creating with the kit and I couldn't stop. I ended up making 5 cards with custom envelopes.
First off - the envelopes. I used Simon's new A2 V Flap Envelope wafer die that was in their Hey Bestie Release (I did a Release & Review video on that release just the other day HERE). I die cut the main part of the envelopes from Simon's card stocks and then the flaps were die cut from the patterned papers that come in the kit.
I used the Heart Pattern Doily stencil on the first card with the DecoFoil Metallix Aged Copper gel. Once dry I trimmed it down and then added ephemera from the kit as well as stamped images and sentiments from the Be My Valentine stamp set.
For my second card I used the gel over Simon's Tumbling Hearts stencil that was a part of their Love You More release (and I used that stencil in a previous Valentine post here).
I added a bunch more ephemera to this one, and another cupid from the Be My Valentine stamp set.
For the next two cards I used the rose and leaf stamps from the Be My Valentine stamp set. I stamped them onto Neenah Solar White Classic Crest 80lb card stock with Simon's Intense Black ink and then coloured them in with Copic markers.
Finally, for the last card I used the Heart Rose cling stamp from the kit and stamped and coloured it the same as the other rose images. I stamped the leaves from the Be My Valentine stamp set onto a scrap of green card stock using Delicata Celestial Copper ink. To make the images pop (and I did the same with all the stamped cupids) I brushed on Bronze Perfect Pearl Powder.
To see how all these cards came together check out my video below:
