Anyone who is familiar with the Simon Says Stamp card kits will probably remember the July 2022 kit that featured the Simple Stories Simply Vintage Lemon Twist paper collection. I loved this paper, and as any good paper hoarder does with a fabulous paper line, I labelled it and stacked it neatly with all my other paper collections and then refused to cut into it. I even bought extra paper in this collection, just to make sure I had enough.
Fast forward to the Spring/Summer of 2024 and I was ready to create some bright, fun, summer vibe cards and decided it was time to put this kit to use.
I decided to follow a card design pattern that I really liked, which uses 4 different pattern rectangles from the collection, with a focal image in the middle. It’s a great design to use coordinating paper without overpowering your card front. And if you use some central elements that include a white edge around them and pop them up in the middle of your card, they can really make a great impact.
