Hey my loves! How are you? Hope you've been having a great week! I had a great week, because all kinds of awesome new crafty things arrived in my mailbox this week! I have been a busy bee in the studio making things to share with you! Today is the launch of a new release from Simon Says Stamp – called HEY LOVE! It's the beginning of the Valentine products, but these stamps and dies are really perfect for all kinds of projects where you want to say I love you! The new word dies are the best!! You're going to love them. I have a happy card to share today with you – all die cuts, and no stamping. Sometimes it just works out that way! CLICK HERE to see the entire new release! Let me know what you think!
Every time I get a box of new products from Simon Says Stamp, it's like Christmas morning! I rip that box open and spread everything out on the table in my studio and kind of take it all in…let the ideas come to me… And, every time, there is always one item that I'm instantly drawn to use first! With today's release that product was the Heart of Flowers Die. It's so pretty and I can think of a million ideas of things to make with it! I decided to use one of my favorite color palettes: white, red, aqua and grey, to make a 'love'ly greeting.
My finished card is 5×5 inch square. I made a square card because I wanted the heart to fill up the entire space in the center of the card. I made my own card base using bright white cardstock, and then layered some rich deep grey over it. The "love" die cut is the same grey paper to tie the project together. (product links at the bottom of my post).
The Heart of Flowers die actually doesn't cut out in the shape of a heart – it cuts into your paper (I hope that makes sense)…. I wanted to pop it up off the page and put some red behind it so I got an idea and I ran and grabbed my SSS Nesting Hearts Dies! It worked perfectly! I die cut the new Heart of Flowers die out of white paper and then I die cut a bigger heart around it! YAY! Then I layered red behind it with foam tape. I die cut the Heart of Flowers a second time in pretty blue paper and filled in some of the petals. I really like this color combo. Very fresh!
I added pretty white twine and some shimmery white pearls to make the card really feminine. I also speckled some white mist on the grey layer piece.
The 'love' word is a die that says 'hey love' and I used just part of it. There are LOTS of new word dies and I love all of them! This font is so pretty!
Thank you for coming by today! I was so excited to share this with you! Saturday (the 17th) I will have a post on the Simon Says Stamp Blog using Tim Holtz products to make some Christmas thank you cards. I hope you will check that out! Have a wonderful day friends! XOXO
