Love is in the air and Simon Says Stamp has made it even more fun to create projects to show someone that you love them with their 2013 Valentine’s Day Release. I am so honored and excited that I
was asked to create a project using something from this release to share in
today’s Valentine’s Day Blog Hop!
When my children were little...nothing was sweeter or more precious than getting a handmade Valentine's Day card from them...treasures!! Things have changed a bit... NOW, with them grown, I am the one giving THEM the handmade cards...but telling my family and friends I love them...it something that brings such joy to my heart:)! Creating for this Hop brought joy to my heart and was soooo much fun, I have three cards to share with you...

***Just wanted to let you know that all the stamps and dies I used for my cards were Simon Says Stamp and the pics and links to all of them are listed below:)!!
I made this card with Talk Bubbles 2 (the 9 rectangles), the sentiment is from Just a Love Note. I stamped the framed rectangles with versamark and white embossed. I cut out the frames and used the 2 smallest heart dies from Large Heart dies to make the cut out and the heart for the framed rectangles, and popped up the hearts in the popped up frames(the frames have the same colored paper behind each frame). Used Stampin up papers for the 3 browns and pinks. Here's a close up of the frames hearts...

For this card I used the Curly Heart die and a sentiment from Just a Love Note. I used some red metallic paper and die cut the heart 3 times. I adhered the hearts together and adhered them to white panel with sentiment and framed in black. I then cut off the side of the heart that went beyond the framed panel. Added a red rhinestone to the sentiment and layered on metallic red paneled white card. Here's a close up...
For the last one, I used the Lots of Hearts stamp set and the coordinating dies, Large Heart Craft dies, with a sentiment from Just a Love Note. I die cut the hearts and stamped them with versamark and white embossed.
Here's how I made the hearts...
I used 2 of the dies and two heart stamps...then I popped up the smaller one over the larger, framed heart. I used my Martha Stewart Scoring Board and scored lines on the white card. Here's a close up of the hearts and scoring...
