Welcome to another edition of Throwback Thursday — a trip back in time! For each throwback, we’ll be spotlighting fantastic cards and projects using products from previous releases. The new stuff is always SO fun, but think about all of those great products you’ve collected and set aside. They are STILL AWESOME! And we want to inspire you with fantastic inspiration from our creative archives.

Valentine’s Day may be over, but it’s always fun to share the love with friends and family alike. Our Friends release includes many ways to show love and appreciation, but you might remember some pretty spectacular products from last year’s Hey Love collection. In celebration, let’s take a look at some cards from our Hey Love release!

First up this project from Nina-Marie Trapani:

Nina-Marie created a whole slew of gorgeous cards focused around the Hey Love release and Prima Watercolor Confections. This card in particular features our You Make My Heart Smile die. The white really pops off all of that fabulous color, doesn’t it? If you’d like to see how this card (and several others) were created, you can watch Nina-Marie’s informative video HERE. And you can see Nina-Marie’s original post HERE.

Next, let’s throw it back to this stunningly sophisticated card from Jessica Frost-Ballas:

In her original blog post, Jessica admitted a bit of an obsession with Simon Background Stamps, and honestly, we can’t blame her! For this card, she featured the Elizabeth Background Stamp dressed up in beautiful gold heat embossing and rich blues and greens. The gorgeous sentiment from our Hand Lettered Encouragement stamp set is the perfect finishing touch.

And let’s not forget this inspiring project filled with all kinds of love from Heather Ruwe:

Loads of saturated color and a pleasing grid design make Heather’s cheery Valentine’s Day card a stand-out. Our Envelope Purse Die isn’t big, but repeat it several times, and you’ve got a unique design with lots of impact. Heather added just the right contrast with her sentiment in black using the Love stamp set and Love die from our Hey Love release. Visit Heather’s original post HERE.

Our last throwback project is this stunner from Marge Yoon, and it comes from our New Beginnings release.

Marge gathered a pretty bouquet of flowers on this lovely card using our More Spring Flowers stamp set. Such a lovely design with a wonderful and heartfelt sentiment. You can see Marge’s original post on her Instagram feed HERE.

Did you know that we have inspiration galleries on our website showcasing project ideas for all of our releases and card kits? It’s a veritable treasure-trove of terrific ideas just waiting to inspire you, and you are invited to share your projects, too! You can find all of the Simon release galleries HERE and galleries for our monthly card kits can be found HERE. Scroll through today, and maybe you’ll find one of YOUR projects linked there!

Step into spring with our March Card Kit Choose Joy!

Spring is coming, and soon the world will be awash in freshness as the earth reawakens! Our March Card Kit celebrates the joys that spring brings. Twelve double-sided 6×6 patterned papers and two sticker sheets from Carta Bella’s Spring Market collection anchor this gorgeous kit. The lovely shades of peach, pink, blueberry, yellow, rustic browns, and fresh greens are complemented perfectly by hand-picked, coordinating cardstock from Simon and Neenah. With this kit, you’ll give in to spring fever!

Check THIS out! The kit includes not one, but TWO Simon exclusive stamp sets. Oh my goodness, YAY! First up is the Choose Joy stamp set which includes pretty florals and an adorable pair of rain boots filled with a springtime bouquet. In addition, there are five lovely sentiments in a gorgeous font and a striking stitched border. The gingham stamp is particularly unique—it’s been engineered to interlock so that you can build a gingham border or even a background!

The second Simon exclusive stamp set is the sweet Showers & Flowers. Grab your favorite coloring medium and bring to life an adorable bunny, a chick splashing in the rain, and a super-cute pair of galoshes festooned for spring. Add details with hearts, a carrot, and raindrops accents. Then finish off your project with any of the seven delightful sentiments. You’ll be singing in the rain as you create!

All of the little details are what take your designs from good to amazing, and we’ve got you covered there! Add gorgeous shimmer to your raindrops (or anything else you please!) with the Glitter Gloss Aqua Shimmer pen from Tonic. You can control the amount of shimmer with a light or heavy touch and apply layers for eye-popping, yummy sparkle. And the adorable bunny needs a cottontail, right? A fun pack of white pom-poms from Darice will add fun dimension and touchability to the bunny’s bottom! And your ink stash will thank you with the addition of two pretty, pastel ink cubes from Simon in Wisteria and Hollyhock.

Rounding out this delightful kit is a three pack of Simon Says Stamp pre-scored cards in Cream, and three coordinating Simon Says Stamp envelopes (that Khaki Woodgrain is to DIE for!), because we like to encourage you to send your cards when they are complete!

Our March Card Kit Choose Joy will put a spring in your step!

We have a walkthrough video for you which you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.

The Choose Joy and Showers and Flowers are available for individual purchase in our store.
