STAMPtember 2022 Collaboration with Kitchen Sink Stamps

KSS’ day at Simon Says Stamp’s (STAMPtember 10th), has finally arrived!

I am thrilled to collaborate with Simon Says Stamp for another year by designing an exclusive stamp set for STAMPtember! Today is KSS’ turn to join the month-long party!

🎉 Hooray! 🎉

This year I wanted to design a stamp set that could be used year-round. I wanted a set that would also be versatile and go with other stamp sets one may already have in stamp collection and could be used for all types of cards of encouragement! Seems like 2022 has been the kind of year where more encouragement is needed worldwide! 💖

I think butterflies are the perfect symbol of hope and uplifting encouragement, plus they can come in a rainbow of colors! What could be more cheerful?! Plus, is it possible to have too many butterflies?

Now, if these butterflies look familiar, that is because they are the same ones used in the Multi-Step Butterflies set, only bigger! I’ve always wished I could have these lovely butterflies larger, and today is the day! The largest butterfly image (fully opened) in this set, Butterfly Kisses, is approx. 2.75″ wide x 2” tall. This same image in the original Butterflies set, is approx. 1.75″ wide x 1.25” tall. That is almost twice the size!

I LOVE having these butterflies larger!

This set can only be purchased from Simon Says Stamps and only while supplies last (which are limited). Remember, once it sells out, it is gone!

Simon Says Stamp has doubled the fun again this year by offering two options for purchasing this stamp set: 1) the stamp set sold separately or 2) as a stamp set and metal die bundle.

[NOTE: If you are looking for a coordinating SVG Cut file for Butterfly Kisses, it can be purchased in the KSS store HERE.]

Today, I am sharing how I have used Butterfly Kisses, for a whimsical single-layer slimline card. I used the stamps two ways: 1) layered and 2) using only layer #3 by itself for a different-looking butterfly. You don’t always have to layer layered stamps. 😉

Stamps to create the card above: Butterfly Kisses designed by Kitchen Sink Stamps exclusively for Simon Says Stamps’ STAMPtember.

The Color Recipe and a Stamp Alignment Guide for Butterfly Kisses, can be found under the menu tab above.

The coordinating SVG Cut file for Butterfly Kisses, can be purchased HERE.

Next, I have a clean & simple card with the large butterfly cut out (with SVG Cut file) and added over a two-layered Fern (SVG cut) stenciled background (that will be available at Kitchen Sink Stamps soon). The antennas were stamped directly on the card panel and then the butterfly wings were added on top with pop dots.

Stamps to create the second card: Butterfly Kisses designed by Kitchen Sink Stamps exclusively for Simon Says Stamps’ STAMPtember and SVG 2 Layered Fern Stencil Cut File from Kitchen Sink Stamps.

My last card for this post is another clean and simple one-layer card. I then added the two-tone clouds as a background to help give the card added color and depth.

Stamps to create the second card: Butterfly Kisses designed by Kitchen Sink Stamps exclusively for Simon Says Stamps’ STAMPtember and SVG Cut Cloud Stencil from Kitchen Sink Stamps.

Again, this year-round stamp set can only be purchased from Simon Says Stamps and only while supplies last. Get it while supplies last! You never know how quickly STAMPtember sets will last!

I will be back later with more samples using this whimsical butterfly stamp set with other Kitchen Sink Stamps’ favorites!

Please check out what the Kitchen Sink Stamps’ Design Crew and Simon Says Stamp’s Design Team has cooked up to inspire you using this set!
