I recently won an older card kit (May 2012) from Simon Says Stamp, and I thought I would pull it out to make a couple birthday cards. The kit itself isn't necessarily geared towards birthday cards, but I was able to get a couple done, as well as a congratulations card. There's still a ton of product left, so I will definitely be using the kit again, but here's what I have for you today.
The very nice people at Tombow also sent me some new adhesives, so that's what I used with these cards. They sent some of their clear adhesive dots, which I was really impressed by. The hot air balloon on the first card is a transparency piece, and you really can't see the adhesive at all. I also got some of their little square dimensional adhesives which I used for all the popped up pieces, including the entire fussy cut flower portion of the card below.
A very fun kit, so glad you stopped by!
