Hello, friends! Today I'm sharing another card created with the Simon Says Stamp September 2022 Card Kit, Let's Celebrate. My goal for my SSS Card Kit videos is to show ideas with the kit only. Additional tools like dies, small embellishments, etc. are added as needed to make the kit shine. This edge to edge shaker card is such a fun way to showcase the embossing folder, stamps, and sequins from the kit!

SEPTEMBER 2022 LET'S CELEBRATE CARD KIT FLAT SHAKER CARD
More supplies linked in the supply list at the bottom of this post
The Distress Oxide inks from the supply list below were applied to the Simon Says Stamp Minted Florals Embossing Folder using the SSS Small Round Detail Blending Brushes. The inks were very lightly spritzed with water from a Mini Mister and then a scant 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" panel of smooth white cardstock was embossed. The result is this gorgeous debossed floral background!
Another greeting was stamped on Doll Pink Cardstock from the kit using clear embossing ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The sentiment was die cut with a Sentiment Label Die and adhered to the front of the shaker to finish the card.
A coordinating envelope was created with stamps and an envelope from the September Kit!

Currently I am doing a Friday morning Lives at 9 am CT. Replays will be on my YouTube Channel.
I have a few requests to edit the Lives. Currently I am not going to edit them. This is for a couple of reasons:
1) Lives are new to me and we are going to stick with this format for a bit. I personally love Lives. I haven't watched an edited Live so I reserve the right to reconsider in the future if I think it's something I can fit in my schedule.
2) I don't want to spend the precious hours I have for creating new content, editing a Live. I will be bringing the exact same amount of traditional content and videos to my channel. Lives/replays are in addition to that content.
If you want to join us for some real-time crafty fun each week I would love to "see" you there. Please make sure to SUBSCRIBE to my YouTube Channel and click the notification bell so that YouTube alerts you when I'm going live. I am trying to reach 100,000 subscribers so if you haven't subscribed yet I would SO appreciate it! I am grateful for my community on all the platforms!
Thanks to everyone who joined me today! I had a blast visiting with everyone. ❤️
