We find cards on Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, Flickr, in our Simon Galleries, and craft blogs.
Cindy Beach made this pretty card using the Simon Says Stamp October Card Kit. We love how she featured that gorgeous gold ampersand with the raspberry paper. So delightful! You can find more projects on Cindy’s Blog.
Marcie made this cheerful card using the Simon Says Stamp One with Nature stamp set that was released for The Color of Fun! We love how she used bright colors and kept it really graphic. If you want to see more of Marcie’s work, you can find her on her blog or Instagram.
Since it’s November, it’s almost time to get out your ugly Christmas sweaters! We spotted this sweater card made by Beth, on her blog. She used the Simon Says Stamp Ugly Sweater stamps to paper piece a real beauty! Be sure to stop by her blog!
