Welcome to my unboxing and card making video for the May 2026 Card Kit from Simon Says Stamp, Long Stem Florals. Here is what’s in the kit:

It’s a little modern AND a little vintage. Let’s get into the video first:
Now let’s take a closer look at each card.
Card 1 felt very much like a me kind of card! I love how the drawers lined up, and the little bit of pink floral and the butterfly were designed so nicely. Sometimes your patterned papers just hand you a perfect design with little to do other than cut and paste.

I adore the Long Stem Floral stamps and coordinating stencil in this month’s kit. (And there are coordinating dies you can get as an add-on!) They are SO simple to use.


For Card 3, I wanted to use the rest of that patterned paper from Card 1 for this fun look. A few more techniques, but still a very simple design!


For Card 4, these frames just make a picture perfect scene. It’s a bit vintage, but also very minimal. And possibly a tiny bit heavy! Lol.


It was fun to use something I don’t usually create with!
For Card 5, which might be my favorite today, I clustered three rub-ons and topped with a greeting, a flower and some black pearls. When in doubt with rub-ons, look for ways to layer them


And for my bonus card, I wanted to work in the Squoval Tag Dies from the kit!

And that wrap’s up the cards for today!
You can become a subscriber to the Simon Says Stamp Card Kit starting today with the May 2026 kit while supplies last. Click on the image below to subscribe, starting with this kit. 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.
That said, you can preorder the card kit as a standalone purchase, if you are not interested in becoming a subscriber at this time.

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!

I watch all of your videos and this has to be at the top of the list! I love the simplicity of your cards and the creative way you use the items from Simon. I would have never thought of using the inks the way that you did, especially the green and purple inks with the single flower. Beautiful card!
Many thanks from a fellow card maker.
