Hi there! Today I’m excited to join Simon Says Stamp for a Mini Hop showcasing the August 2020 Picnic Parade card kit. I’ve created three cards using the Hello Sunshine stamp set included in the card kit.

For this first card I simply stamped the sun ray image with Aqua Sky ink onto a panel of white cardstock and then stamped it again going the opposite direction with Oceanside ink.

For the sentiment I used the Thinking of You Sentiment Strips.

For this next card I used the solid stripe to create a diagonal striped background. I used the ruler guides on the MISTI to shift the panel 3/4″ each time to get consistent spacing.

For the sentiment I used the CZ Miss You word die.

For this last card I used the solid circle image in the Hello Sunshine stamp set and stamped it repeatedly, again using the MISTI rulers to get consistent spacing each time.

The Concord & 9th ink colors look amazing with the overlapping design. I used another Thinking of You sentiment strip for the sentiment on this card.

Here is a video to show you how I created these simple cards.
