Simon Says Stamp has a Big Book French Bulldog that is really, really cute. My youngest wanted to go to the store and buy cards for her class but in a cardmaker’s house?!!!!!I was deeply appalled. ‘NOOOOO’, I kept thinking. Are you kidding? My brain is configured to visual arts and an opportunity to make Valentine’s cards always makes more sense. I lead my youngest to the bin where all my Simon Says Stamp dies/stamps are organized by season. I pulled out several Valentine theme stand alone dies and Valentine theme stamps. My youngest decided on the French Bulldog and from there we designed this Valentine’s Day card together. Deciding to stayed within the brand of Simon Says Stamp, my youngest liked Hello, Beautiful stamp set. The sentiment, ‘Happy Valentine’s Day’ for the font which we stamped with Tim Holtz New Kitsch Flamingo.

Happy Monday! Today I am featuring Simon Says Stamp Love You Beary Much in the Box Card. S The kit is worth purchasing because it has a heart stencil, glossy accents, colored paper , an additional stamp called Sweet Truffles and envelopes. To see what is in the Valentine’s kit click here.

My goal was to utilize the valentine’s kit’s content. I have only one regret, I did not purchase the matching dies. I wish I had. Here is the list of supplies I used from Simon Says Stamp that were not included in the Valentine’s kit. I have also included the links to make it easier. These are not affiliate links, I am sharing what I enjoy doing and that’s making cards.

There are two sides to box so no matter what angle you are looking at the box, you can see an image. One side is a shaker heart filled with Pastel Hearts Speciality from Micheals. The other side is stamped with the words, ‘I love you’ from the Love You Beary Much stamp set. I used Waffle Flower Craft Tool Mini Media Mat to do a reverse image of the speech bubble. You might be asking yourself what does this mean? It means I stamped the image on the mat. When the image it wet I pressed paper onto it and that’s how I got a reverse image.
