Hello friends!
I'm thrilled to be sharing a new card set today showcasing the Simon Says Stamp exclusive Cardstock and Inks! Simon Says Stamp currently carries 14 colors of cardstock and inks in an amazing rainbow of vibrant colors! I love them all, however, the Sea Glass, Island Blue and Khaki sort of make my heart go pitter patter! ;) And the SSS Black Ink is my new go-to basic black ink pad for crisp, perfect stamped images and greetings!
You may just want to check back a little later this month, say the 21st, for the Spring 2014 Release. Word is that SSS will be adding to their exclusive cardstock and ink collection! Whoohoo!!!!
I decided to showcase several of the cardstock and ink colors today with a card set. I created four cards all with the same design, just changed up the colors a bit on each.
I used the SSS Mod Window Die to create the border along the bottom of a piece of 4"x5.25" SSS Khaki cardstock. I filled in the design with both white cardstock and SSS cardstock to create a patterned design along the bottom of each card.
I trimmed a piece of SSS Green Leaf cardstock to fit along the top edge of the die cut border and stamped a greeting from SSS Thanks 3x4 Stamp Set using SSS Black Ink.
I die cut the rest of the greeting from white cardstock using the SSS Thanks On A Line Die. I wrapped some string or twine around each card and tied it in a bow.
For each flower, I used the SSS Whimsical Flowers Stamp Set and coordinating dies. I die cut the larger flower from one of the SSS cardstock colors and cut the smaller floral and leaves from white cardstock. Then I stamped the flower and leaves with SSS ink colors to match each card.
I adhered each flower with foam adhesive, added some Glossy Accents to the center of the flower and adhered a tiny, tiny wood veneer heart.
- Hemptique Thread in white, yellow and blue
Simon Says Stamp is generously allowing me to give away a full set of 14 ink pads and a rainbow pack of cardstock!

Quick question if I may...how do you mail your cards? I love the look of elements overhanging the edge of the card but am always concerned that they will get dog-eared along the road. This is such a pretty set to give as a gift.
Thanks for the chance and for sharing!
