Popcorn, Texture & Fun! Hello Card with Our Exclusive June 2026 Card Kit by Tina Smith
Hi friend! I’m delighted to welcome back special guest Tina Smith to our blog today with fresh and gorgeous inspiration showcasing our brand new June 2026 Card kit! Be sure to watch the video for all the details, and enjoy!
Get your tickets ready, crafters! Tina here, today, we are creating a popcorn explosion with the Simon Says Stamp June 2026 Card Kit: Step Right Up. I used my easy 5-step card-making formula to create a card that is literally bursting with flavor.
I wanted the popcorn to look real, so I used the White Heat and Fluff over every single piece. It puffed up beautifully! I then blended Scattered Straw Distress Oxide over the top for a movie-theater buttery finish. I finished my project with a few drops of Ranger Liquid Pearls and a generous spatter of shimmer using SSS Pawsitively Perfect Gold Splatter.
Here is how this buttery popcorn explosion came together:
Step 1: The Focal Point: I used the kit’s exclusive die set to construct a 3D popcorn box. It sits proudly on the card, looking ready for showtime.
Step 2: The Home Panel: Every star needs a stage. I crafted a dedicated panel using the a few tickets from the ticket book to ground the popcorn box so it does not look like it is floating away in mid-air.
Step 3: The Sentiment: No card is complete without the perfect sentiment. I stamped a fun, coordinating greeting from the included Having Fun stamp set.
Step 4: The Background: To capture that vintage carnival vibe, I used the kit’s patterned card panels to create a classic red and white striped background.
The final card turned out so fluffy and realistic, I might need to add a “Do Not Eat” warning label on the envelope! It is tactile, interactive, and was an absolute blast to create. I hope you give this a try, it is so much fun to create! Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hey,
Really enjoyed the popcorn texture idea in this card tutorial—it shows how small details can completely change a project’s feel. It reminds me of experimenting with different tools and testing new features before final results, similar to how beta environments work in apps. I’ve seen similar experimental spaces like Astute Beta Server (https://astutebetaserveri.com/) where users explore updates early.
The texture on this popcorn element is amazing! I never would have thought to use texture paste that way – it really does look like actual popcorn kernels. The clean layout with the fun focal point works so well together. Love how you kept the color palette bright and cheerful. This card design would make anyone smile when they open their mailbox!
What a creative and fun card design! The realistic popcorn effect, textured details, and vintage carnival theme really make this project stand out. Tina’s step-by-step approach is easy to follow and shows how much personality can be added to a handmade card with the right techniques and materials. I especially love the use of dimension and shimmer to bring the popcorn to life. For anyone who enjoys exploring interesting online platforms and new digital experiences, I’d also recommend taking a look at noble 777 download. It’s a platform I recently came across and was genuinely impressed by because of what it offers and how easy it is to explore. Great inspiration all around, thanks for sharing this fantastic project!
