Love, Hugs and Kisses

Hello my friends, Valentine's Day may have come and gone but Love is a timeless theme suitable for cards throughout the year. I created a card using the Outline Hearts set of stencils, Love Letter stamps and co-ordinating dies, Pawsitively Saturated Ink Pads from the Simon Says Limited Edition Sending Love Card, Box and Tag Kit along with the flower image and sentiment from Simon Says Distressed Vintage Love Notes stamp set included in the February 2025 card kit. Both kits are sold out but individual items from the kits are available to purchase, see the links below.

I trimmed Distress Watercolor card to 4" x 5.1/4" and used 3 of the stencils from the Stencil Set with Carnation, Tropic and Cranberry Pawsitively Saturated Inks, applied with Simon Says Round Detail Blending Brushes, to create a background.

I die-cut an aperture using the Love die from the Love Letter set of dies and fixed the panel to one of the pre-scored Sea Glass side-folded A4 cards included in the limited edition kit.

I stamped the floral image from the Distressed Vintage Love Notes stamp set, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, also included in the kit.

I stamped Love from the Love Letter stamp set, inked with Pawsitively Saturated Carnation ink, the flowers from Distress Vintage Love Notes, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne Ink on to a panel of Distress Watercolor card. I smooshed the Carnation ink pad on to my Glass Media Mat and used a Detailer Water Brush to colour the flower petals.

I die-cut Love with the co-ordinating Love Letter die and fixed into the aperture with Simon Says Thin 3D foam squares. I fussy cut the flowers with my trusty Tim Holtz/Tonic Studios Mini Recoil Snips and popped up with the Thin 3D foam squares to add dimension.

I stamped the sentiment from the Distressed Vintage Love Notes stamp set on to a scrap of Distress Black HeavyStock, inked with Versamark, sprinkled with White Detail embossing powder, heat set, fussy cut and fixed in place with Thin 3D foam squares. I stamped the postmark image from the Distressed Vintage Love Notes stamp set on the die-cut, inked with Versafine Clair Nocturne ink, to add interest.

Have fun with whatever you are creating.
