Whew…what a busy few weeks. Last weekend I went home to PA for my niece’s 10^th birthday/Mother’s Day, the previous weekend I traveled out of town for the wedding of one of my best friends, and this weekend I’m going to a family reunion. I’m very much looking forward to next weekend – for which I have planned a whole lot of nothing!  In the midst of all of this I’ve been editing the video for my Simon Says Stamp April Card Kit which you will finally find below.

I thought the stamps in this card kit were really cute, but I’ll be honest I struggled a bit to come up with 10 different card ideas.

Here are some still shots of the cards I created:

I really love how this card came out. I think it’s so fun to have the giraffes peeking out behind the window as if to say hello.

This stack of animals looks like a crazy bunch thanks to those eerie eyes from doodlebug.

I often want to keep adding layers to my cards, but I think this simple penguin card is my favorite of the bunch.

I don’t make a lot of tags, but wanted to give them a try since they came in the kit. I really just treated mine like mini cards and I think they came out ok.

Thanks for stopping by today, below you’ll find a list of links to the supplies I used.
