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.

Beautiful cards as always. I am especially in love with the Drawn Hearts stencil, and what you did with it.

Loved all of the cards, especially the Emma background stamp card. Just purchased that tonight. Loved all of the cards on the blog hop made with those background stamps.
These are super pretty, I’m totally falling for the second card with your cute hearts!!
I really like the intricate heart die cut out of vellum. Gotta try it!
Beautiful. I love your colour combinations!
I’m loving the color combination you used on your cards. Pure un.

What an inspiring bloghop. Thx for the great cards, giving me great ideas! Love the cards you created, especially the second card, very pretty!!
I really really liked the second card. Your watercolor technique has inspired me. Thanks.
A Beautiful set of cards. I really like the simplicity of the first 2.
Simply gorgeous! I love the fun of the stencil, not readily apparent from the icon. I would not have looked twice (maybe a touch too much brutal with the honest opinion!), but seeing it done was such a lovely surprise! I love the playfulness in this with the hearts all different sizes and shapes and some a little wonky! Thank you for that!
Love your cards!
Thank you for the detailed instructions for all three of your lovely cards! Beautiful!!
Just love your cards!!
Gorgeous yet fairly simple cards! Love the color combinations that were used as well! I’ll definitely be putting in an order soon, thank you for the inspiration!

Beautiful cards. The inking is fantastic.

These are all just beautiful cards!! I love inking over embossed backgrounds. I love big background stamps where you can ink up some pretty colors & showcase a large sentiment!
