Hearts for Sally!

Oh dear me… I was assigned to work with heart stamps… my true LOVE. Of course ideas flooded my mind so I created three quick cards today! I was inspired by a recent trip to Japan, where design is minimal and simple. No wonder I loved every single minute!

I'll start with the letter of love card. I stamped a piece of paper in Red Royal ink using the Love is Love Bold Prints background, then die cut it with the Love Note Pair Fancy Dies to create a mini envelope. Next, I stamped several little woodblock messages (Love You Message, XOXO, With Love Message, Hugs and Kisses) on various colors of carstock, then die cut them with the Nesting Hearts Infinity Dies. I love how the messages are shaped perfectly to fit inside a heart! I finished the card with a little heart seal and Valentine's message from the Love Stamp & Cut set.

The little envelope is overflowing with love!

For the next card, I stamped the Love Little Heart woodblock stamp onto another background created with the Love is Love Bold Prints. I used some of my treasures from Japan on this card. Washi tape and paper was everywhere there! I was in heaven. I mounted my stamped piece onto gold paper, and then washi paper, and then again on gold, then mounted in all onto a small white card. Add the little tab from the Love Stamp & Cut, lining up the word love on a cling stamped scrap.

Lastly the tag, which was made from die cutting the small heart with scraps of washi. It is easier to work with them when mounted onto a second layer of card stock. Add xoxo in black and randomly mount the hearts with foam tape.

I hope you have a day filled with extra love!
