Let’s unbox the August 2025 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp and make five cards!

July 14, 2025

Let’s unbox the August 2025 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp and make five cards!

It’s Kit Unboxing Day and I’m so excited to share the August 2025 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp called Best-Teas.

First up, the video where I’ll unbox and share all the card makes for this kit.

The Best-Teas stamp set is all kinds of cute! Plus, there are coordinating dies you can purchase for this to cut out all of the cuteness! Here are all the cards:

Give me a grid any day of the week! Gosh, I love this design so much! So basic, and yet it really takes advantage of the charming patterned paper in this kit from Carta Bella.

Next up, this simple design featuring just a bit of Copic marker coloring.

It might be me imagination, but cutting out stamped images before coloring them seems to be easier for me. Has anyone else experienced this crafty phenomenon?

For card three, I put the Demilune embossing folder to work! This texture is next level cool.

I also used a bit of the brand new Pawsitively Perfect Opaque White Splatter Medium, which I think is going to be a fantastic product to have in your stash. I also think the Fancy Thank You Wafer Dies are a lovely staple.

Next up, a simple strip design, with just a few pieces of the patterned paper and a two-toned greeting!

And lastly, I think this bookends the video so nicely, as I love this one almost as much as the first card!

SUCH a great kit this month! I hope you enjoyed the video and cards.

Plus, this month there is a special free gift for existing and new kit subscribers:

How cute is that?

You can become a subscriber to the Simon Says Stamp Card Kit starting today with the August 2025 kit while supplies last. Click on the image below to subscribe, starting with this kit while supplies last. Of course, many of the items can be purchased separately and I will have everything linked below in my supply list. But the kit is a tremendous savings. You can cancel at any time and you can skip any month that doesn’t appeal to you! Plus, card kit subscribers get $5 off the kit price.

Plus, now you can add other products to your kit before it ships if you add by the 15th of the month! This lets you add coordinating dies or other products with no additional shipping fees, beyond the normal fee. I recommend doing all of your add-ons by end of day on the 14th of each month, if you want any in your kit!

Want to see a quick video walking you through how the subscription works? Watch this:

Thanks so much for stopping by!

You can also purchase many of the items from the kit as standalone items and I will have all of the supplies I used in today’s video linked below for you.

    I think the less white area on the images helps to reduce decision fatigue! Creates a smaller palette, so you mentally don’t have to make as many decisions….it’s probably weird, but I do find the less white space, the easier it is to make color choices. However, super tiny pieces-I still need something to hold on to!
