Simon’s Choose Joy March 2018 Card Kit: Inspiration + See Inside!
Hello crafters! I am thrilled to be sharing the newest card kit from Simon Says Stamp with you today called, Choose Joy! This Spring-filled kit is sure to get you craving those April showers and May flowers! :)
Additionally, I am also thrilled to be sharing that I have a NEW stamp design that I created especially for the kit. Let me introduce to you the Showers and Flowers stamp set:
I had a blast designing this stamp set and have colored all the images already! :) I’ll be sharing more cards using this set very soon, so stay tuned!
Let’s take a look at the card I made using the pair of golashes and florals. I used Zig watercolor markers to color in the image; nothing super-detailed. Each area of the image is colored with a single shade of marker.
The gorgeous patterned paper from Carta Bella’s Spring Market collection are so pretty and I thought it would be fun to put the image I colored into a “scene”. There is a paper sheet with cute pails of flowers and a classy black and white awning that worked perfect for that!
Another fun feature in the kit is the Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer pen, which I added onto the boots and flowers. I love sparkle, and this pen gives THE PERFECT clear shimmer. If you watch the kit walkthrough video I put together (linked HERE or down at the end of this post), I’ll demonstrate this pen for you to see what I mean! :)
Some of Simon’s gorgeous envelopes are included in the kit as well, which I used along with the Choose Joy stamp set to make a coordinating envelope for this card! I love how the shimmer of the envelope along with the plaid goes so well with the features of my card! Be sure to watch the video on how I made this card (located at the top of this post)!
You can find the March 2018 card kit HERE; plus check out the Simon Card Kit galleries HERE to see further inspiration on using this STUNNING card kit!
Thanks for visiting with me today; I will be back with more tutorials for you VERY soon!

Awesome videos on the products contained in kit (you answered my questions about the pen) also the card is beautiful and I am very inspired to get going with my kit. The showers and flowers stamp set that you designed is going to be one of my favorites I can already tell. Thanks
Nina-Marie, you have me raring to go! I have had three major surgeries in the past nine months…housebound and feeling blah. My (she says the favorite) daughter has sent me this kit. YEAH I can not wait to bring the bunny, duckling and flowers to life. My husband has moved my crafting stuffs to the kitchen and I am ready to dive in. To top this get-up-and-create adventure, the daughter is coming for a visit . Car packed with her stuffs from MA to my WI kitchen. We crafters are certainly blessed.
Awww that makes me so happy to hear Cindy!!! I am sorry to hear about all the surgeries; I hope they resolved any health issues you may have been experiencing to have resulted in surgical procedures. Sending hugs your way!!!
I love the stamp set that you designed! Can’t wait until mine arrives!
YAY!!! So happy you liked the stamp set Joyce!!!!
I have seen a few of the cards made with this kit and so far yours if my favorite! I love the way it turned out! I can’t wait to get my kit!
Awww thanks Perla!!! That means a lot! I hope you have fun creating with the new kit!
This stamp set is adorable! I love how fresh and spring-like it feels. And your card is gorgeous with the bright colors and ‘awning’ over the boots!
