Hello, crafters, this is Yana Smakula for Simon Says Stamp! Welcome back for another Yippee For Yana video! In this video, I’m stamping a one-layer card using the Simon Says Stamp Sunshine Background stamp.

This stamp is brilliant! It is not a single stamp, but rather a grouping of individual stamps that make up this beautiful san ray design. And because all of these are separate this gives you options. You can stamp each section in a different color of ink, you don’t need to do any masking, it’s just that much easier to use.

Because I have all of these individual sections, I can easily stamp them in different ink colors. There are 12 sections, so I selected 12 different colors of ink. I used the Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks, they come in nice groupings of 3, so a light shade, a medium shade, and a dark shade of the same color and they have a very pretty, very fresh color palette.

I used Simon’s 130lb cardstock, this is my go-to paper, I love using it for anything stamp related, it is very thick and smooth, and it is just a dream to work with. It is a little bit on the expensive side, but so worth it.

I cut my panel to 4 1/4 x 5 ½ and placed it inside the MISTI. Next, I stamped the abstract sections one by one, stamping each in a different color of ink. I didn’t stamp the center section but added a circle sentiment there instead. It comes from the Just Because Word Mix 2 set from Simon, I stamped it in Earl ink from Simon.
I also added additional sentiments to this card using the Simple Sentiments 02 set from CZ. I stamped a different one onto each of the colorful sections.

I adhered this panel to the A2 side folding card base and added Aura sequins to embellish it.
Have fun stamping!
