EZ with CZ: Clean & Simple Slimline Card
Hi friends! Happy Tuesday and welcome to another new series we’ve officially launched that we’re super excited about EZ with CZ a monthly series where Cathy Zielske shares some easy crafty techniques in card making with a gorgeous result!
Hello all! Cathy Z. here with a new series for Simon Says Stamp. The goal of EZ with CZ? Make clean and simple card projects that are easy to replicate. That’s my goal and today I’m excited to be tackling my very first slimline card.
Have you made a slimline yet? Normally, I stick to a standard US A2 (5.5 inches by 4.25 inches) for most of my card projects but after seeing all of the fun slimline cards being shared out there on social media I decided to give it a shot.
The finished card size is 3.5 inches wide by 8.5 inches tall. I thought that this Etched Linear Heart Die would be perfect for filling up a tall, skinny card front. Here is my video showing you how I created this simple card.

September 2020 Card Kit – Stamped Scenes with Kristina Werner
Hi all! Kristina here. I’m back to show you some more card kit inspiration! The September 2020 card kit is packed with amazing products, and today I’ll be showing you two ways to use the Just Miss You stamp set from the kit.
My first card was stamped on white cardstock and then the heart was colored using Polychromos colored pencils. I only colored the heart so that it was the focal point of the card.
For my second card, I stamped the images from the stamp set on watercolor paper. I watercolored the sky area and hearts, and then added some details to the balloons using a white gel pen.
Both of these card designs rely on precision stamping, so be sure to watch the video for a tip on how to get your images positioned just right when stamping. :)
You can pick up the September 2020 Card Kit here, or subscribe for this kit and future kits here. As usual, you can purchase elements of the kit separately, including the Just Miss You stamp set and Sending Smiles die set. Thanks for stopping by!

Magical Unicorn Picnic
Hi friends! Happy Sunday! I’m delighted to welcome special guest Yainea of the Lawn Fawn design team to our blog today to share a super darling scene created by a variety of Lawn Fawn products! Read on to learn more and enjoy!
Hi everyone! It’s Yainea here with a sweet and magical card featuring Lawn Fawn products that it’s perfect to send some love at any occasion. I combined the cute Unicorn Picnic stamp set (one of my favorites from the latest release) with Bannertastic and Mom + Me stamp sets to create this magical scene.
I started by die cutting the grass pieces using Grassy Border and Grassy Hillside Borders dies and the frame with the Bayou Backdrop die, then I colored these pieces and the background panel with Distress inks and a blending tool. I applied some white embossing paste over the background using the Starry sky stencil.
Then I stamped, die cut and colored with Copic markers all the images and mounted all the pieces of the scene together, using liquid glue and foam adhesive to create dimension. As a final touch I took my Wink of Stella pen and added some shimmer to the unicorns, sweets and fairy, it’s hard to see on the pictures but it looks so cool! I hope you like my project and feel inspired to go and create something today! Have a nice day!
