Sending Love w/Stamp Simply

Hello, and welcome by my blog today.  This is a sweet Valentine's Day card I created using some of the (many) amazing products from Stamp Simply.  The thing I love most about Stamp Simply is that I know I can always count on them to have the perfect sentiment for every occasion.  They also have gorgeous images, dies, papers and so much more.  It makes is easy to create beautiful cards when you can truly count on a company to always have just what you need.

I started with black cardstock and layered it with some pretty patterned papers and a journalling card from the Carta Bella My Valentine 6x6 Paper Pad and the Echo Park Love Notes 6x6 Paper Pad.  I did a bit of machine stitching on my card.  Over the journalling card, I added a Fishtail Banner Die from black paper and added the sentiment (Sending Love) in white ink using the Vintage Peony Stamp Set.  The red paper at the top of my card is found in the Craft Consortium's Beach Hut 6x6 Paper Pad.

I also cut several hearts using the Farmhouse Pierced Nested Hearts Dies.  By cutting the hearts from various materials (paper, wool felt, etc.) there are many wonderful textures.  The small clusters of berries were stamped using the Christmas Blessings Stamp Set and were fussy cut by hand.  The Sending Love sentiment was repeated again in the Tim Holtz Metal Pin that holds it.

Be sure to stop by Stamp Simply to look around at all their wonderful products, and by the Stamp Simply Blog and Instagram Page for lots of amazing inspiration.  There's so much to see, and you'll not only love the inspiration, but you'll also love whatever you may happen to purchase.  It's all pretty fabulous!  As always, I'd love to have you visit and Follow my Instagram Page.  Thanks again for visiting.

Here's where I'm playing along with this card:

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge - Challenge #2505 Sponsored by the wonderful Lawn Fawn

Neglected Stuff Challenge - Challenge #1 - My "neglected stuff" on this card is, first and foremost, the Tim Holtz metal pin.  I have so much ephemera/trinket items in my stash that I really need to use.  I also used some patterned papers had been long-neglected.  It's good to use up these older products, so this is a great new challenge.

Happy crafting, everyone.  Come, play along in some FUN challenges.

Blessings,
