I'm excited to be here today to tell you about a Pocket Folio I created using the Simon Says Stamp February Card Kit - Distressed Vintage Notes. Now why would anyone send me a card kit, when I don't make cards? Well the stipulation was that I NOT make a card. That worked perfectly for me, so I got started unpacking all the elements to the kit...a big stamp set, a cool embossing folder with hearts, and the Nocturne Ink pad which I absolutely love. The kit also comes with a pack of Palette Ephemera, which I am very familiar with, so all was good! I just needed a substrate, and that is where the idea-ology Pocket Folio came into play.
Please note that the full step-out blog post I wrote for Simon Says Stamp can be accessed through this LINK. I hope you'll follow it to see the rest off the pages and make your own Pocket Folio.
SSS February Card Kit - Distressed Vintage Notes
includes:
- Simon Says Stamp Distressed Vintage Love Notes 6x8 inch clear stamp set
- Simon Says Stamp Pinnacle Hearts embossing folder
- idea-ology Palette ephemera pack
- Nocturne Black Versafine Clair ink pad
- Distress Collage Matte medium bottle

The kit comes with three random Distress Watercolor Pencils. Lucky for me, I got Saltwater Taffy, Shabby Shutters and Stormy Sky. Three colors that go perfectly together!
I was able to create three wonderful stamped cards for the folio using the provided Watercolor cardstock, Love Notes stamp set, and the Watercolor Pencils. I love coloring so this was part was so relaxing.
You can see from the last photo how cool that Pinnacle Hearts embossing folder is. Super fun to use to cover a pocket!
I better stop now or I will give the whole thing away! Oh, and here is the LINK again!
Now carry on,
