 Hi everyone, it's Vicky here and today I am back with my one kit 10 cards So I am featuring the September card kit by Simon's tab and there is also a giveaway on my blog So make sure to visit and enter your details So let's start with a quick look on what's inside the kit You get four different tags that they have a window two of them have a balloon and two others have a little heart You also get those plastic pouches that fit perfectly inside those tags so you can make shaker tags Now you also get some stickers. These are puffy stickers and they are shiny You also get a stamp set which is perfect for birthday cards and also you get six by six pattern papers in beautiful Female colors as you can see here Perfect for creating your birthday cards for this month and as always you get card stock in Five different colors this time that perfectly match the colors of the rest of the papers and the stickers Now let's start with the first card So I'm going to create a tag and as you can see I'm coloring the inside of the balloon And I'm using two different colors of distress oxitings in pale Inking and I achieve pale inking when I use my new for brushes So I like them for this look now. I am going to add a little bit of water I'm spraying a just a little bit and this is going to help all the inking to blend even more And now this is going to be a shaker tag So I'm going to bring in that little pouch I'm going to peel off the backing so now this is sticky and I'm going to add some You can see how it fits nicely inside and now I'm going to make sure that I apply some Tape adhesive all around that inside of my tag just to make sure that they are going to say stick nicely and then I'm going to apply some Sequence that I had on my stars from a previous card kit I believe and then I'm going to Close the tag Now I'm going to embellish my tag a little bit So I have chosen this pattern paper and I'm going to cut out some of those strips it I actually chose to use the one with the unicorns and Underneath it says happy birthday And I'm going to glue that at the very bottom of my shaker tag I'm going to use my scissors to cut out the excess and now this step is totally optional I decided to embellish my the top of my tag a little bit more So I'm using an eyelet and I'm going to set it with my crop a dial But either way if you use it or not, it's not a big deal. It's still going to look beautiful Now I have brought in the pink cardstock I have already created a top folding card That's four and a quarter by five and a half and this is where I am planning to stick my tag And of course you can leave the tag as it is and use it to go along with a gift for a birthday But I just wanted to show you how you can turn this into a card So all I'm going to do is to stamp directly on top of my card base The phrase happy birthday and this is a stamp included in the stamp set I am stamping it with VersaMarketing and I'm going to apply white embossing powder and hit set it And to to embellish my card a little bit more I decided to give my balloon a string so with my white glue I'm going to draw a line and I didn't want the line to be straight and now with a string. I'm going to follow that glue line I'm going to cut off the excess string But I'm going to leave a little bit of tail hanging out of the tag now. I'm also going to tie a little bow I'm going to make it as tiny as I can Chop off the edges and then I'm going to use my white glue again to stick it just underneath my balloon And now my tag is ready if you wish or you can add some thread at the top of this tag But I decided not to I'm going to add some glue at the back and then stick it just underneath my sentiment And this is the first card for today a little tag with a shaker element But you can always use it just as a tag. You don't have to turn it into a card now let's move on to the second Tag and this is the one with the tiny little heart this time I'm going to add some color, but instead of using my new braces. I'm going with my blending tools this way I am going to have a more Intense color as you can see and I'm going to mix up three different colors of the stress oxide inks Now I'm happy with how the tag looks at the moment and I'm going to apply some Droplets of water These are going to react with the distress oxide ink I'm going to leave them on top of my tag for a few seconds and then I'm going to blot them with a clean piece of cloth I am planning to do some embossing on top of this tag So I need to make sure that the ink and the water is totally dry Otherwise, I'm going to create a mess. So I'm using my heat gun there And now I'm going to use my misty to do some stamping again I'm going to use Versa marking and then white impose the sentiments as you can see I chose two of them from the stamp set the one that says to the very best friend ever and At the bottom it says happy birthday After heat setting my sentiment I am applying a little bit of the yellow ink on the inside of my tag and again I'm going to go all around the window at the back stick the little heart pouch I'm going to add my confetti there And these are actually tiny little iridescent Stars and hearts. I'm going to peel off the backing of the pouch and Then close the tag together and again you can use this shaker tag as it is to go along with a gift for a birthday Or you can turn it into a cart and I'm going to show you how easy it is I am just going to use the yellow ink again, and this is actually fossilized amber and With my new brush, I'm going to apply a little bit of ink at Directly on top of my cart base I'm starting from the bottom and I'm going my way towards the center and as I Go towards the center. I make sure that I have more inking at the bottom So I get that ombre look and it really helps that I am using the brush instead of The blending tool since I took yet a more subtle look. I Used some string to thread it at the top and I'm going to add some white glue at the back and stick it on top of My cart base now this time I'm going to stick the tag on an angle just for a different look than I did with the first card And my card is ready And now let's move on to the third card and this time I'm going to use this pattern paper that makes a card on its own so I'm going to cut out a square out of this image and You don't have to use a die. You can use just your paper trimmer and to help this image stand a little bit more I'm going to mud it on top of a scrap piece of white paper and I am going to trim it all around making sure that I leave a very thin little white border It should be about 1 eighth of an inch Then I'm going to apply some tape adhesive at the back and stick it on top of a pink card base Again, I used my cardstock to create this top folding card and just because I want this to be a square I'm going to use my paper trimmer and cut off the bottom of the card So I'm going to turn it into a square and that matches perfectly the alignment of the center image Now I need to add the sentiment and for that I'm going to pick up the pattern papers again And there is a pattern paper that is full of a little sentiment strips I'm going to cut off one of them that says you brighten my day and I will stick that at the very bottom of my card Now all that's left to do is to add some Sparkle on top of my card since this is a magical card and it's going to I'm going to give it to a little girl So I'm using my nouveau crystal drops. This is actually only going to add glitter and it's going to dry Transparent I'm going to apply some glitter on the rooftops as well as in different areas of those unicorns And my little square card is ready For the fourth card I'm going to use the little heart that was included in the stamp set and I am stamping it With the Versa marking many times on top of these white cardstock. This is actually watercolor paper I am going to apply white embossing powder and you probably can't tell what I'm doing now But here is how my watercolor paper looks after I have white embossed all those hearts on top Now I'm going to use my nouveau brasses and a collection of Distress Oxide inks and I'm going for a very pale look So I will go ahead and color the hearts with one color each now as you can tell I am working on a rainbow order and And the white embossing powder actually resists the ink so when I finish Hanging up all my little hearts I'm going to use a clean cloth and go over it to make sure that I reveal all those white Lines and then I'm going to use my scissors to cut out all those hearts And the plan is to stick them on top of my card now after cutting out all those hearts I played around a little bit with replacement and once I was happy with how my card would look I went ahead and Committed with glue and before starting assembling my card with all those hearts on top I am going to stamp the sentiment first that says sending lots of color your way And that comes from the same stamp set that I was included in the kit and now I will go ahead and stick everything down I'm working on a piece of white cardstock that's slightly smaller than a standard card and I got this from my stash I'm going to bring in all the hearts and some of the hearts I'm going to stick them with foam tape so that I can add some dimension while on others as you can see I am using my tape runner at the back I'm using my scissors to cut out all those hearts that stick out and then I'm going to bring in my Card base and I'm going to stick that on top of the card base and I'm using foam tape at the back and Now I'm going to bring in all those puffy stickers And I'm going to stick some of those tiny little dots as well as some of the hearts here and there And this completes my fourth card, which is one of my favorites from today Now the fifth card is super quick and simple So I have just cut out four white squares and I am adding some foam tape at the back just to add a little bit of dimension I'm going to stick them on top of my card base creating a little square and You can go ahead and eyeball it like I am doing here or if you want to make sure that everything is going to be super straight and Perfectly aligned you can use your rollers, but I think it went perfectly there. I'm going to stick the four stickers on each one of those squares and the card is pretty much finished All that's left to do is to add a sentiment for that you can either go ahead and stamp a sentiment Below or you can use one of the strips from the pattern papers And I went with one that says happy birthday and it's very colorful Now this is a great pattern paper because each and every one of those rectangles you can turn it into a card So for this card, I decided to go with the label that says never let anyone dull your sparkle I'm going to cut all around it leaving a little border And now I'm going to create a background for this label So I'm using double-sided tape and I'm working directly on my card base I'm going to stick my double-sided tape on a diagonal and I'm doing a stripped pattern paper as you can see You can of course use the grid on your mat to make sure that these are aligned correctly I am using my non-stick scissors to cut off the excess and Then I'm going to apply three different colors of glitter now if you hate glitter you can do the exact same Thing but instead of applying glitter you can apply foil paper So I am going to peel off every third of those strips And then I am going to apply the darker of the colors that I have. This is actually a Nouveau glitter It comes in this huge bottle So I have colors for pretty much the rest of my life and this is the violet And I like to use a stiff brush as you can see just to make sure that I clean up everything I'm going to put back the glitter on the jar And I'm going to move on to the next color and this is lilac Again after applying the glitter, I'm going to go ahead and use the stiff brush all over it to make sure that I clean up any excess I'm going to place the glitter back in the jar and move on to the next color This is hot pink and it's the last color that I'm going to apply and imagine If you do the exact same technique with rainbow colors on top of white cardstock I think it would make a stunning card And again you can do foiling if you want to avoid glitter or you can even use those flakes Now I have added some foam squares at the back of my tuck and I'm going to stick it at the center of my card For the next card again I'm using one of those pattern papers that are full of little squares that you can turn each one of them Into a card and I picked the one with the unicorn that has a little birthday cake So I'm going to create a cute little birthday card I have already cut out a square frame by using my nested Square dies, but if you don't have these dies you can always use your paper trimmer to create a little white frame I'm going to add some foam tape at the back. I'm not going for a shaker card here I just want to have this frame a little bit raised I am sticking the frame on top of my little square there and this way I have created a little embellishment that is going to be a great focal point for a birthday card. I Have cut out a strip of this pattern paper I am adding some tape runner at the back of my elements and notice how I am using the grid on my mat Just to make sure that everything is nice and straight And once I'm happy with the placement I'm going to stick that on top of my card base and I'm working directly on a card base That's four and a quarter by five and a half which I have created out of the cardstock that was in the kit Now all that's left to do is to add a sentiment and I am going to use this scrap piece of white cardstock And I'm going to stamp one of the sentiments included in the stamp set with black ink I'm using my scissors to cut out a fishtail on one side of my Sentiment and my sentiment by the way says happy birthday to the kindest most beautiful person I know and I'm going to stick that coming out from the little square and on top centered and on top of my Strip and I embellished the end of my sentiment with a little heart Now for the next card. I'm using one of my favorite pattern papers from this kit And you will see that I'm going to use every bit of this pattern paper so I'm using one of my squares to cut out a little window and Just like I did with the previous card I used the nested squares one inside the other to cut out a little frame for this window again if you don't have the squares You can always use your I'm sticking this panel on top of my card base and I have used foam tip at the back So that I have that window a little bit raised and on inside the window I'm going to use those little stickers the one is the rainbow and the other one is the cute little cloud Now both of those stickers are quite puffy, so they are bulky So I decided to go with a tiny bit of foam tape at the back of the cloud so that it stays nicely on top of the rainbow And again for this card instead of using a sentiment a stamped sentiment I decided to go with the pattern paper So I've chosen this one that says you make me happy and at the bottom. It says hello and This is going to add the sentiment while embellish my card even more and Let's make one more birthday card for today So again, I'm using this pattern paper with all those images and I'm going to cut out that little square that has four little squares inside and They are all birthday images, so I'm going to cut them all out and After cutting everything out, I'm going to use this scrap piece of paper that I have from the previous card I'm going to stick just one strip on one side I'm using my scissors to cut off the excess and then I'm going to stick all those four little images on top of that Now I'm going to use foam squares at the back to add a little bit of dimension And I'm going to eyeball them in a row Of course, you can go ahead and use a ruler or the grid on your mat to make sure that everything is perfectly aligned But I usually don't bother with things like that after all it's a handmade card And it's not the end of the world if something is a little bit off And then finally it's time to add the sentiment for that. I'm going with happy birthday I'm stamping that at the bottom of my card base with Versa marking I'm applying white embossing powder, which I am going to hit set it A very simple card, but so beautiful And now let's move on to the last card for today For this I'm going to use all the scraps that I have from the striped patterned paper As you can see I have cut them out in strips of paper that are in different widths and lengths and I'm going to stick one next to the other Again, I'm not measuring anything I just eyeball everything and I try to keep all the shapes quite organic So the lengths of those strips are totally random Now these are going to be candles on top of my card And this is actually a great design to Distach and use all those scrap pattern papers that you have for creating beautiful pattern paper cards in just minutes Now I'm using my white gel pen to draw the candle wick on top of each candle And before I add my flames I'm first going to stamp the sentiment and for that I went with the one that says more candles more fun I am stamping it with Versa marking applying my white embossing powder I'm going to use my heat gun to melt everything And then it's time to add the flame on each one of those candles and for that I'm using my Nuvo crystal drops and this is actually bright gold. I am going over it to create a Dot and then you can drag towards the top to create that Drop look or if you want you can use one of those book tools and drag that Dot towards the top This creates the perfect flame and completes your card So now let's take a quick look on all the 10 cards that I have created for today Using the September card kit by Simon's stamp.
