I’m so thrilled to be able to celebrate the 6th birthday of Simon Says Stamp with them!  I don’t think there is a better company out there in terms of supply, (they always have the latest products available),  customer service (this is just second to none in my experience), value (I frequently order from the UK and the prices and shipping costs are great) and just general “niceness” (I can’t express how fabulous they are to work with – every one of the team is a total pleasure!).  There are are just so many good things I can say about them.

I created a birthday card in they’re honour using some of their newest products and what is becoming one of my favourite dies!  I stamped the three different outline flowers from Artful Flowers onto Tim Holtz water colour card using Versamark and then heat embossed them in white.  I then chose three colours from the Kuratke Gamsai water colour palette and simply coloured three flowers in each colour.  I don’t yet own the dies to co-ordinate with this set so I cut each one out and then just arranged them (I TRIED to be as random as possible) on the card and stuck them in place using glue dots.  I die cut the Wishing sentiment using Fog SSS card and stamped the sentiment in black under neath.

Happy Birthday SSS
