New Product Tuesday: Simon Says Stamp February 2016 Card Kit

Happy February, everyone!

Today I'm bringing back the "New Product Tuesday" series on my blog.  I will try my best to post more "new product" Tuesday projects and even some videos!  I'm shooting (no pun intended) for one video each month.  It might be a New Product video, or it might be something random... like a shopping haul.

For those who are new, I'm defining a "new product" as something new to my personal scrapbook and card making collection.  The product may have been in the marketplace for months, even years, but it's new to my stash and this forces me to use it!

Today's project is both NEW (i.e. released in February 2016) and it includes a video!  I am featuring the brand new February 2016 Simon Says Stamp card kit.  Unfortunately, it looks like this kit is currently out of stock on their website.  However, if you subscribe to the kits, you can get a new box sent to you each month.  Major Happy Mail! Note: I do not work for, nor am I affiliated with, Simon Says Stamp.  I just LOVE their products!  Yup, big fan here.

Here is the card I made:
