Simon Says May card kit giveaway

IMG_6605
Hello Friends, How are you today?? I know some of you might be wondering how the packing is going & I appreciate you asking. As of now I am taking a break and helping my TWIN sister pack her breakables …..she’s moving next month! 

Now… let’s talk card kits…Simon Says Card Kits. TODAY I am lucky to be able to give away one of Simon Says May’s card kit all you need to do is say hello in the comment area. I will draw a random winner next Friday. 
I am in love with every paper in May’s card kit.  I also love these die cut transparences that I used on both cards. (you can purchase them separately here). I do recommend using Scrap Dots to give the transparences dimension. I would rather call the transparencies vellum because they are so smooth and silky and a nice quality. The oval frame of this card is one Spellbinders newest dies called, “Floral Ovals “ NOTICE the tiny perforated holes around the oval…so elegant and so easy. To finish off my card I added some Gathered Twigs distress ink to the edges.

This is a good photo of the “transparencies” from Basic Grey that are in the card kit. Almost a life time supply…lol 🙂 On this card I used three of them and this yummy felt cloud button and all. I used more Scrap Dots to adhere the arrow next to the cloud and you can see the clear bit under the arrow. 
IMG_6603
I was pretty proud of myself when I thought to add the dotted paper to the folded corner on the back side. Ahhh I have to mention the lovely sentiment created from the talented Kristina Werner. Love the stamp set that’s in this card kit and it will be available for purchase soon…. stay tuned 🙂

The yummy trend tape was fun to use. I trimmed the edges, placed the tape on some light blue paper and trimmed it again leaving an small blue boarder. I was into folding corners on all these cards as you see here too. This is a good close up of the lovely dots in the oval that is from Spellbinders. If you have any questions please send me an email. You can order May’s card kit here. If you want to suscribe you can order here. May you have sunny skies the rest of the week. Hugs, Kathy

    Goodness – with both of you moving I’m just amazed at you managing to get some crafting time. Take care the both of you & both your families. The papers look super the way you arranged them in that first one & accented the colours with the buttons. I’ve never used transparencies so really appreciate the detailed photography enabling me to “see” them.
    Take good care all of you.
