Hello friends! Today, Simon Says Stamp is having a fun Instagram hop to celebrate their two newest releases: Smitten and Sweetheart. I have an inspirational card to show you featuring products from each release.
My first card features products from the “Smitten” release and also one of my favorite techniques…Eclipse. I adore everything about this card so I hope you do too!
Step by Step:
- Cut a white panel of cardstock to 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches.
- Using the “Hearts in a Heart” stencils, blend various colors of ink onto the center of the white panel.
- Add texture to the panel using Concord & 9th “Stitched Hearts Card Front” die.
- Die cut the panel using the outline and lined “Love You” Die. Make sure you save all of your pieces!
- Cut the outline from blue violet cardstock 3 times and the lined love you from the same violet cardstock 3 times.
- Add white panel to a top folding purple card base with liquid adhesive.
- Working layer by layer, add violet cardstock and then white panel elements to build dimension for the outline and word parts of the die.
- Add a secondary sentiment using the “Reverse All the Love” sentiment strips. Using foam tape helps to raise it above the dimensional Love You.
- A little sparkle with sequins was added as a final touch.

My next card from the “Sweetheart” release features a fun rainbow light bulb slimline card. And I found the perfect sentiments to go with it!
Step by Step:
- Cut a panel of white cardstock to 3 1/4 by 8 1/4 inches.
- Die cut the “Love Bulb” from pastel cardstocks 3 times for each bulb. Adhere bulbs and hearts together for dimension.
- Using similar ink colors to the cardstocks, add ink to the white panel for a “glowing” effect.
- Apply light bulbs and hearts to the card.
- Add the sentiment using Reverse Happy sentiment strips. I applied them slightly off for a fun look.
- Cut a panel of black cardstock to matte the bulb panel. This helps make the card pop and ties the black in from the sentiments.
- Add finished card front to a white slimline card base (3 1/2 by 8 1/2 inches).
