Hello there! Today is the 14th of the month which means there’s a new kit from Simon Says Stamp just around the corner! Here’s the card I made using the stamp set from the kit plus a few other goodies from my stash.

When I opened my kit I got most excited about the stamp set – Thankful Heart. It features a lot of beautiful handwritten sentiments that are great for saying Thank You. I used several of those sentiments to create my card. First I stamped So Much To Be Thankful For in Fog ink onto A2 top folding Fog card base (I have to say I love that there is a coordinating ink pad to go with the cardstock). I did my stamping at an angle and covered the entire card front to add some visual texture to my project.
I needed something to house my main sentiment so I created a vellum banner and folded it over my card front. I really love various wreath images this Fall, so I stamped a leafy wreath using Sunshine ink onto white cardstock and cut it out using a coordinating die. I slid the vellum banner through the wreath just like I did on there cards here and foam mounted it onto the card.
I heat embossed Thanks directly onto vellum using Simon’s Antique Gold embossing powder and added “You Are Simply The Best” heat embossed in white over black.
To top this off I stamped, Copic colored and die cut the funniest little bird from the Cuddly Critter Accessories stamp set and foam mounted him above the sentiment. I wanted to add some flowers to this card, so I drew in little white dots everywhere the two leaves met on the wreath. Lastly I adhered several sequins.
