My second card features the Giant Party Balloon Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set. I used the Balloon Garland & Sentiments Stencil to blend polka dots onto Nectar cardstock for the background.

I created a shaker with the sentiment foiled on the inside and filled with clear confetti.

June Card Kit

May 31, 2023

Hi there! Today I’m sharing a simple card using the June Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp.

SSS-June Card Kit

After watching a video by CZ, I pulled out my Mini Minc and foiled one of the Reverse Gratitude Sentiment Strips using some of the Deco Foil Sheets included in the kit. I stamped the floral image from Etched Greetings in white onto khaki cardstock and added a few strips of solid colored cardstock for a pop of color behind the cute little bird, which is from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Organic Layers Ephemera, also included in the kit.

Here is a short little Reel showing how I created this card.
