 Hi and welcome back it's Vicky here with my one kit 10 cards this time I will be working with the July card kit by Simon Says stamp and first let's take a quick look on what's included First of all, you get the Amitangerine sunshine at good times This is a sticker book and as you can see it has so many pages and so many different stickers And what I love about them is that you don't get that white edge all around those stickers The edge is actually transparent and you get one hundred and sixty two different stickers You also get these tiny cute puffy stickers that are forty nine of them And let's take a look at the stamp set. This is a big stamp set with lovely sentiments and you get a sun a pineapple Cactus you also get sunglasses to dress up your pineapple or your Sun so many different options and there is also a flamingo and they give you also a diet To cut it out and pop it on your cards if you want to now the six by six papers are double-sided as you can see a Lovely summer-themed paper pad that I will be using a lot in this video since I always get Comments on how you can use up your pattern papers There is also this glitter paper, which is really fabulous that I imagine of cutting out the flamingo out of this You also get an envelope Some orange sequence for your shaker cards and embellishing your cards This is white foam. It is a product by Cezix and it is Adhesive self-adhesive in both sides and you can use it on your die cutting machine And you will find that it cuts beautifully You also get three card bases. These are pre-cut and pre-scored for you. This is a great card base It is quite thick. It is 120 Pounds thickness, which is perfect for your card bases. I'm just going to fold them and have them ready for my cards And finally we get cardstock in lovely colors that coordinate perfectly with the rest of the kit the kit is still available so you can grab it if you like But if you want to grab just the stamp set for example, you can do you will find links to everything separately Down below the description area Now I'm working on my first card and I'm using this gorgeous pattern paper I have just cut out the top on an angle following the line of the string And I'm just going to stick it on top of my card base for all 10 cards today I will be using a part of pattern paper. I Know that you will be able to find lots of inspiration on how to use just the stamps So I will focus today on how you can use up those gorgeous pattern papers So now I am going to pick up one of those stickers for my sentiment That says yes, please in a beautiful shiny gold Color and my card is finished super simple, but really fun For the second card, I'm going to use this gorgeous pattern paper I have to sacrifice the back of it obviously and this reminds me of the sea So I will use one of my circle ties and I'm going to cut out the circle And I'm going to stamp the fish from the stamp set a couple of times I actually did stamp it three times later on as I wanted three fish for my card Now I will color everything with my zig clean markers And then I'm going to use my scissors and fuzzy cut all three of those fish By the way, I'm working on Bristol paper, which is perfect for zig clean markers Especially if you want to follow my technique, which is blending the colors with Only two markers and not using water at all Now this is going to be a birthday card So I have chosen the sentiment from the stamp set that says fishing you a happy birthday I'm going to stamp with a pale blue ink pad And then I will move on to a second darker color And I have inked up only the bottom of my sentiment This is going to give me a number look, which I absolutely love Now this is stamped directly on my card base So it's time to put everything together I'm going to stick the circle of the pattern paper on top with using foam tape at the back And now I'm going to stick the fish on top I will make sure that some of them go outside of the circle Just for some added interest And you can pretty much follow the same design, the same idea And maybe cut out three different circles from your pattern paper And add every fish on a different circle Lots and lots of ways to use the same idea and make different cards Now the stamp set comes with a couple of sets of bubbles Which I'm going to stamp with black ink coming out of my fish And then to finish off my card I'm going to use some white Nuvo Drogs I'm going to add tiny little dots inside all those bubbles And this is going to finish off my card Now on to the next one This time I will use a pattern paper that makes a card on its own with this beautiful scene So all I'm going to do is to just cut out a piece as a panel for my card Making sure that this is slightly smaller than the standard card So it will leave a lovely border all around And then you get this pattern paper with those four different beach scenes And there are also strips of sentiments Which I am going to cut out one of them to use on this card I'm keeping everything simple on this card So I'm going to stick this on top of my standard card I do have the sentiment in place And the card is ready For the next card I'm going to use one of those scenes from this pattern paper And I'm going to cut out a strip And I'm also going to cut out two of the strips of sentiments from this pattern paper as well I'm going to stick my pattern paper on top of white cardstock And that's just because I want to have some white border on top and at the bottom This is going to help my pattern paper to stand out even more And now I'm going to put everything together I'm working directly on my card base And I'm going to stick all the strips of paper that I have cut out And again, this is a very easy card to recreate And you can make three or four out of this pattern paper using the same design I'm adding those strips of sentiments on top and at the bottom of my image But if you don't want to stick those strips You can stamp your very own sentiments along the image With blue ink I stamped the sentiment vacation time This is not actually from the same stamp set that comes in the kit I used one that has just came out from Simon's stamp But of course you can use sentiments from the kit I just thought that this sentiment was really appropriate for this card And to finish off my card I'm going to add some clear nouveau drops Along the letters of my sentiment Just to make it pop a little bit more It's going to give some shine And of course you can use glossy accents for that Here are some close-up photos of the card And you can see all the photos of all the cards If you visit my blog If you're watching on YouTube you will find the link down below So now let's move on to the next card This time I'm using this lovely pattern paper And I love those warm colors all together I'm using a rectangle die as well as a circle die So here I was just making sure that the pineapple fits inside that circle And I'm going to run it through my big shot Now I'm using my anti-static powder tool Because I will be stamping with VersaMarketing And then embossed with white embossing powder I'm using a sentiment from the stamp set Which says you are one cool pineapple I hit set it with my heat gun And now at the back I'm going to stick my acetate Obviously I'm going for a shaker card And I'm going to add my foam tape all around the circle And at the top and at the bottom of my frame And now I'm adding my sequins directly on top of my card base I'm going to stick my panel on top And this is what I decided that I needed to add more sequins So my panel goes on top and my card is pretty much ready I need to add my pineapple Which is supposed to be the focal image on my card So I'm going to stamp it And I am stamping my image with archival ink Because I'm planning to use my Zeke markers I'm working on Bristol paper And I find that just because it is so smooth Those markers blend beautifully on top of it I'm just using a couple of markers for each area And I will be using my scissors to cut around my image Leaving a tiny little border white border all around The border is going to help my pineapple stand Against that green background To finish it off I'm going to add some dots on my pineapple And for that I'm using glitter drops by Nouveau In a gorgeous color which is called Hanay gold I believe you will find link it down below And here are some close-up photos on all the shine and sparkly Moving on to the next card And again I will be using one of the pattern papers I promised I will make the most out of this pattern paper pad From the kit So I will cut out a panel to cover up my card front This is going to be a very quick and simple card again But I don't want to chop off the tiny little images At the top and at the bottom of my card So I cut out this panel in two pieces And this way I can slide them on top and at the bottom Leaving a tiny little gap in the middle But this is not to be worried about Because I will cover it up with my sentiment later on So I'm going to stick this panel down I'm going to cut a thin strip out of this sentiment And with some foam tape at the back I'm going to stick it where that gap is Now as I said in the beginning This video is more focused on how you can create cards Using the pattern papers in the kit But if you want more inspiration On how you can use the stamps Or create different backgrounds and designs for your stamps Then you can go to the Simon Says Stamp blog You will find there lots of inspiration in the gallery That is dedicated to this card kit For the next card I'm going to use this scrap That I have from a previous card I'm going to use the pink side this time And I'm going to place it on top of a white panel I'm going to chop off the excess from the sides And now I'm going to play with some stickers These are from the sticker album included in the kit And I have picked all the cacti that was included there I love the color combo And I am going to combine it With the sentiment that says Stuck on you And this is why I have placed the stamp on top there Just to make sure that I will leave enough space To stamp my sentiment And as I'm putting everything together here I have a little bit of time to chat So I wanted to let you know that I will be More slow on posting videos and blog posts During the summer Since I live in Greece We spend most of our days by the beach Swimming and playing with the kids and friends and family And that means that I might be missing in action For days and days But I will do my best to answer any questions And I will be reading my emails etc So now I am adding a thin strip of double sided tape Which then I'm going to peel off And then stick on top some foiling Which is going to bind nicely With the golden details that I have on my cacti stickers And now it's time to stamp the sentiment That says Stuck on you From the stamp set included in the kit To finish off my card I'm going to add some dots on the flowers of my cacti I'm using Nuvo Drops in a color which is called Rubarb Crumble If I'm pronouncing it correctly You will find it linked down below It's really gorgeous It has kind of a metallic shine to it And it is opaque Hopefully you can see how gorgeous it looks here And it matches perfectly the color of my card base Now I just had to use the die And I just had to use the glitter paper And however I will try to incorporate One of the pattern papers in this card as well So I'm using the foam adhesive by C6 And I have stuck on top a piece of this glitter paper And I'm going to run it through my big shot machine And you can see here that it has cut out beautifully Just make sure to run it a couple or three times And there is a little piece there in between those legs Which I'm going to poke out And my little element is ready This is going to be the focal point for my card Now I'm using a couple of pink shades of ink And I'm going to stamp my sentiment That says be a flamingo in a flock of pigeons And this is a stamp coming from the kit I'm going to stamp the bottom With my darker color for that ombre look And notice how I blend out just with my finger That rough edge there And now I'm going to use a circle die Run it through my big shot And I will end up with a lovely sentiment in a circle You can add the sentiment at the center Or pretty much anywhere you like I decided to go at the bottom And I'm going to chop off the excess So I have quite enough space Open space on the top of my circle At the right to stick my flamingo This is so sparkly in real life And to finish off my card I'm going to browse through the pages with those stickers And just try and find a few of them And stick them around my circle I went with a pink heart With a little flower as well as a fish star And finally I gave my flamingo a black eye By using black nouveau drops And you can see a close up here Of the beautiful patterned paper With the palm trees at the back A really exotic card Now at this point I don't have many 6x6 papers on my stars Since I have used most of them So I have to work with this busy one And a great idea of working with really busy ones Is to cut out circles all over the place Just like I did here And then since I have all those puffy tiny little stickers I'm going to stick them inside Now just because all those stickers are real colorful I need to have a contrasting color to help them pop So I used a piece of white cardstock at the back Just some scrap I had on my table I'm going to stick this panel on top of my card base And then I'm going to pick some of those stickers That remind me of summer Pretty much all of them do Such as a watermelon A suitcase A little strawberry A cup of coffee Because ok coffee goes for every season And then I'm going to stick a little sentiment Just from my stars And my card is finished So now at this point I only had 3 patterned papers That I haven't used And this scrap paper So this one is full of swimming pools And this has a lovely background That feels like a swimming pool I don't know if you can tell all those little tiles So I decided to combine those And I'm going to use this banner die to cut out a banner And from the scrap that I had I cut out this tiny little image That says pool time And I'm going to stick it on top of my banner Now if you don't have a banner die Of course you can just use your paper trimmer And use your scissors To create that fish tail at the bottom I have home tape at the back of this banner And I'm going to stick it on my panel Chopping off the excess And I have also cut out a couple of more banners Out of white This is going to contrast against the pool background And I'm going to stick them on top of my panel Just to add more interest on my card To finish off this card I'm going to use some of those bubbles By pretty pink polish And I'm adding dots of white glue All around my card So that I can stick those on top I get a lot of questions about this pencil By the way this is just a wax pencil I think it is used mainly in nail art But it is perfect for picking up a little pieces Such as this sequence and more At the moment you can see the white glue underneath But this is going to dry completely clear And you won't be able to see it in the final photos And now like always Let's take a quick look on all the 10 cards That I made for today Using products from the July card kit By Simon Says Stamp One of them is upside down But anyway I hope I have inspired you today To use up that pattern paper that comes in your kit To create beautiful and quick cards And now let's take a look at what's left Of course you get your stamp and the die Lots of stickers And puff stickers that I haven't used I still have some of this glitter paper And the foam The envelope This is the only pattern paper that I haven't used The one with the pink with the flamingos And I have a few scraps And I haven't used up all my sequins So here are some close up photos of all the cards that I made Simon Says Stamp is giving away one of these card
