Here are the cards I'm sharing today:

This first one uses the beautiful new Hero Arts Flowers Stamp & Cut set. I die cut the banner on Neenah white cardstock, placed it where I wanted it on the card and white heat embossed the sentiment on the coral card front. I then stamped the flowers and leaves, die cutting one flower and adhering it with foam adhesive. I embellished the flower centers with enamel dots and adhered the whiter panel to my card with foam adhesive.

For my second card, I stamped the new Hero Arts/ BasicGrey Triangle Background stamp onto Neenah white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured in some of the diamonds with alcohol markers. I then die cut the panel using one of Simon Says Stamp's Stitched Rectangle Dies and adhered it to black cardstock. I stamped the new Hero Arts Thanks for Being You sentiment on Neenah white cardstock, die cutting it with a Simon Says Stamp's Stitched Squares Die. I diecut the same square in black and adhered it off kilter behind the sentiment. I adhered this panel to the card with foam adhesive and embellished with sequins and enamel dots.

Simon Says Stamp March Card Kit: Dad

Hi everyone,

I'm back to share another card using the fabulous Simon Says Stamp March 2015 Card Kit: Classic Beauty.



The first 2 cards I shared focused on the beautiful stamp set designed for this month's kit called Flowers on my Mind. For today's card I didn't use any of the stamps but focused on the papers, die, and Liquid Pearls to make a masculine card. I love that this month's colors work great for both women and men.

Here's my card:

I die cut Simon's new Medium Dot Line Die twice from Simon's Fog Cardstock, backed it with Simon's Smoke cardstock, and added Liquid Pearl dots to all the centers. I cut a strip of Crafter's Companion Yellow Pearl Cardstock and adhered it to the left of the dots. I then diecut 2 of Simon's Large Tags (one from Authentique patterned paper from the kit and one from the Smoke cardstock). I mixed some of the Liquids Pearls with water in my Mini Mister and spritzed the Fog tag with it. Once dried I diecut some of the circles at the bottom and adhered the tags to the panel. I then diecut Simon's 'Dad' and some stars using Simon's Holiday Shapes Dies and adhered them in place. Finally, I adhered my panel to a notecard made from Simon's Black Cardstock.

Supplies:

Simon Says Stamp March 2015 Card Kit	Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card Kit	Simon Says Stamp Medium Dot Line Die	Authentique Classique Beauty 6x6 Paper Pad	Simon Says Stamp Black Cardstock
SSS Smoke Cardstock	SSS Fog Cardstock	Crafter's Companion Yellow Pearl 6x6 Cardstock	Ranger Black Onyx Pearl Liquid Pearls	Simon Says Stamp Large Tags Dies
SSS Dad Grandpa Uncle Dies	Simon Says Stamp Holiday Shapes Dies	Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting Machine	Sizzix Magnetic Platform	Tonic Studios 12 Inch Guillotine Paper Trimmer
Martha Stewart Scoring Board	LIfestyle Crafts Quickstik Tool	Ranger Craft Sheet	Ranger Mini Mister Spray Bottle	Tombow Stamp Runner and Refill
Mini Multi Medium Matte Adhesive
