The season of Love is upon us...and love is not only in the air, but it's at Simon Says Stamp with their new release, appropriately called...LOVE!! This release has some amazing new stamps and dies that have made me, and I'm sure will make you, fall...in...love!!
You should have reached my blog on the hop, from Heather Ruwe's blog!
I have used one of the sweet new dies from this release for the three cards I have made to show you today, Cupid's Heart Border die ...I am smitten with this die!!...
My style of creating is generally pretty clean and simple, which is probably why I'm so in love with this die...the Cupids Heart Border die is wonderfully simple and simply lovely...perfect for a clean and simple cardmaker!!!
I die cut and adhered the hearts, leaves and dots in the three colors, to the card, which I had embossed with the die onto the cardstock, making it easy to place all the pieces! I layered the hearts twice, and everything else once. I stamped the pretty and timely sentiment from the Simon set, Hydrangea Blooms set, and clear embossed. Here's a close up...
The second one, I used paint chips for the colored hearts and the same sentiment as the first...
I die cut the border from the white cardstock, then layered two more times below the top panel. I, again, embossed the heart border onto white cardstock, and adhered the colored hearts and pieces to that embossed piece. I then adhered the hearts and borders together. I added Tonic Jewel Drops onto the hearts and card...just thought they added some extra pretty! The striped papers are recycled paper from gift card packaging. Here's a close up...
The third one is done much like the first, except I hand cut off the bottom piece of the panel below the die cut border, and added a black polka dotted bottom onto the front panel...
I popped up the heart panel over the polka dots and added some of the Jewel Drops.
Well, THAT'S MY fun...it's on to yours!!...
