Playing With Simon Says Stamp's, "You Have My Heart" Release
Hi there crafters!
I've got a bunch of cards to share with you today, using some new stamps and dies from the Simon Says Stamp, You Have My Heart Release.
Retirement sure does fit me well! I knew I'd have more time to create but I'm loving it even more than I thought I would! Now if I could just stop creating and get this house in order - lol!
I know many of you have seen Simon's newest release. If not, head over here to check it out! It's awesome!
Here are the cards I've created recently.
Is this not the cutest set? Seriously love it! I's called Stacking Animals and they are so fun to color!
This Scribble Heart and Arrow die set is really cool! Had to create a shaker card with it!
And then there's the Heart Breeze die! So intricate and pretty! I used foil cardstock for this one. Simple but effective!
The Roses For You stamp and die set was created by the amazing and talented Shari Carroll and it is gorgeous! This one in blue . . .
. . . and one in pink. :)
Okay, I'll be honest. This card took me FOREVER! I know it looks simple but . . . yikes! I used one of the two heart dies from the set, Heart Duet (from their Diecember release.) Then I added all those tiny flowers and leaves from the Mini Flowers and Leaves die set. I DO love how it turned out and it's another shaker - yes! *fist pump*
This last one is from Simon's Diecember release but I wanted to share it too. I love playing with watercolors to create fun backgrounds! I added the fabulous and popular, Stacked Hearts die. I cut it apart and offset the different pieces on the panel. And that sentiment? Love it! It's the Painted Hugs die.
Whew! Thanks for hanging in there with me - that was quite a few cards! In the future, I'm hoping to post more often here on my blog with only a card or two at a time. We'll see if that happens - ha!
I always appreciate your visits and love reading your comments! Thank you for stopping by! ♥
