Limited Edition Easter 2018 Card Kit by Simon Says Stamp
Hi friends! Happy Fri-YAY!
Check out this awesome card kit created especially for cardmakers young and old to be able to do loads of fun techniques for this Spring and Easter! Our Easter 2018 Card Kit is limited edition and only available while supplies last! Please note that this kit is not part of our Monthly Card Kit subscription and must be purchased separately. This jam-packed kit has a retail value of OVER $70 but purchased as this lovely kit is available for $49.99!
We’ve hand-selected a HUGE assortment of crafty-goodness, stuffing the kit full of awesome things to create with! There are 2 stamp sets included in the kit (yes, we said two!). Our Iconic Easter 3×4 stamp set is designed to fit the cutesy images under the egg-shaped scratch off stickers perfectly! And break out your favorite coloring medium, because you’ll have lots of beautiful, Spring-themed images to color from the pretty Easter Wishes 4×6 stamp set.
The trio of stencils are uniquely designed to make eggs with special patterns, or you can use each stencil on its own for creating fun backgrounds!
We’ve also included some exciting foiling products for adding a bit of shine to your projects, including four sheets of Spring-inspired Gina K Deco Foils! Adding foiled accents is so easy; simply prep the Deco Foil adhesive pen by pushing the nib down for approximately 30 seconds (or until liquid starts to flow through the tip). Then use the pen to apply adhesive where you’ll want to add foil! The adhesive stays wet for about 5-30 seconds, so quickly place the foil colored-side up on top of your adhesive. Run through a laminator or die cut machine to create a beautiful foiled look! See, we told you it was easy!
We’ve also given you three sheets of Yupo paper and bright alcohol inks, which work beautifully with the stencils too! There is also a mini bottle of Alcohol Blending Solution, which leads to lots of cool techniques!
We hope you LOVE creating with our Limited Edition Easter Card Kit; some elements of the kit can also be used for decorating eggs! Full of HOPPY things for Easter and Spring, you won’t want to miss out on this cute collection!

Art Journaling: BE KIND with Shari Carroll
Welcome everyone and HAPPY first day of March!!! I can feel it, Spring is on it’s way. I’m definitely in the mood for some bright colors and fun “free for all” creating.
I’ve added another entry to my art journal. This is a party on a page. It’s exploding with layers of paint, tissue paper and new washi tape from Dyan Reaveley and Dina Wakely. These tapes are amazing to add to your pages with super great colors and patterns!!
I’m working in my Dina Wakely Media journal on the kraft pages. I know it looks white, I added white paint to cover the outside edges once I had my design down.
Ranger has come out with some really cool Dina Wakely tissues for collage and journaling. They are printed with designs and words. I used Matte Gel Medium to glue them down.
Another fun item I used were the Dylussions paint pens. I found that I could draw with them and smear with my fingers to add little hints of color to areas of my page. They are also great for handwriting your journaling.
I had a blast creating this entry, I just let go and put down my items without much thought. I have a quick tip for you; Adhere the ends of your washi tape down with a glue stick or gel medium. This helps them become permanent.
I’ve created a full process video that you can view below or on our YouTube channel HERE.
