Simon Says Stamp September 2025 Card Kit Balloon Birthday Card

  Celebrating with Simon Says Stamp's September 2025 Kit - Double the Balloon Fun!

Hello, crafty friends!

I'm absolutely bubbling with excitement to share today's project with you! I just got my hands on the September 2025 Simon Says Stamp card kit, and let me tell you - it's pure creative magic in a box. For about $50 a month (including shipping and tax), this monthly subscription delivers such delightful surprises that I find myself eagerly counting down the days until each delivery arrives.

This month's kit had me completely smitten with its cheerful balloon theme, and I was having so much fun that I couldn't stop at just one card - I made two adorable birthday greetings that are practically twins!

Here's how these little beauties came together:

I started with a gorgeous Peach Pie cardstock base (8½" x 5½", scored at 4¼") that gives such a warm, welcoming feel. The patterned paper (5¼" x 4") from the kit was absolutely perfect - those colors just sing together! I layered on a lovely lavender embossed piece (5" x 3¾") that adds such beautiful texture and dimension.

For the inside, I kept things clean and bright with Basic White cardstock (5" x 3¾"), giving plenty of space for heartfelt birthday wishes.

The finishing touches really make these cards special - I reached into my trusty twine stash to tie those sweet balloons together (there's something so satisfying about that little detail!), and couldn't resist adding some magical Wink of Stella for that perfect touch of sparkle. Because honestly, what birthday card doesn't need a little extra shimmer?

What I absolutely love about this kit is how effortlessly everything comes together. Even if you're new to cardmaking, these designs are wonderfully approachable, yet they look so professionally polished when finished.

While this particular kit has sold out (they're just that popular!), you can still snag all the individual components from Simon's website if these balloons have captured your heart like they did mine.

I hope these cheerful creations inspire you to try your hand at this delightful hobby - or maybe even treat yourself to next month's kit subscription. Trust me, that monthly surprise never gets old!

What's your favorite birthday card style? I'd love to hear about your latest crafty adventures in the comments!

Happy crafting, dear friends!

P.S. - Don't you just love when a project turns out so well that you can't help but make multiples? These balloon cards definitely fall into that category!
