Hello, hello crafty friends, TGIF!
Welcome to the Simon Says Stamp Hey Love Release Blog Hop!!
I have three Valentine’s Day themed cards featuring several new products from the Hey Love Release!
The Hey Love release is so pretty! I had so much fun working with these new stamps and dies!!
For my first card, I used so gorgeous Laura’s Love stamp and die set. I 1) Blended a reddish background using Festive Berries, Wild Honey, Worn Lipstick Distress inks and the mini ink blending tool. 2) Stamped the Love Is background on the ink blended paper using Festive Berries Distress ink. 3) Trimmed the background panel with the Basic Rectangles die. 4) Added water drops on the panel. 5) Die cut the word “Love” from white card stock 3 times, then glued them together using the fine tip glue pen. 6) Die cut the Clipping Heart from vellum paper. 7) Heat embossed the sentiment “you so much” from the All My Love set on black card stock in white, then cut it the small banner. 8) Mounted all elements as shown to the Ivory card base using some adhesives. 9) Embellished with a few PPP clear sequins.
To create the second card, I 1) Laid the Drawn Hearts stencil over the watercolour paper panel. 2) Inked on the panel with Distress inks and the mini ink blending tool – I used (from the top) Festive Berries, Wild Honey, Worn Lipstick, Fossilized Amber, and Picked Raspberry. 3) Die cut the word “Love” from the Lipstick Red card stock using the Kristina’s Love die 3 times, and then glue them together. 4) Heat embossed the sentiment from the Love set on black card stock in white, then cut it the small banner. 5) Mounted all elements as shown to white card base using foam tape.
For my last card, I used a fabulous Emma background stamp. I 1) Heat embossed the Emma background on watercolour paper in white. 2) trimmed the panel with the Stitches Rectangles die. 3) Watercoloured the panel with Festive Berries, Wild Honey, Worn Lipstick Distress inks and a wet paint brush. 4) Die cut the sentiment “Hey Love” from pearl white card stock five times, and then glue them together using the fine tip glue pen. 5) Mounted all elements as shown to white card base with some adhesives.
