"TO LOVE" RELEASE CARDS:

I won't go into detail on each card because I have quite a few of them to share, and they are all fairly simple. If you have any questions, just let me know in a comment.


Water coloring with this pretty Anemone Wreath stamp.


Such a fun stamp set called Circle Sentiments!


Foiling made easy with these Falling in Love, Foil Transfer Cards!



I always love a good, heart stencil set! This set is called Outline Hearts.


Simple stamping for a fun design using the Retro Hearts stamp set.


"TO BE LOVED" RELEASE CARDS:

Gold embossing on red cardstock and a fun, die cut sentiment! Tucked Hearts stamp set and Love You More die set.


Simple, white embossing on colored cardstock, with a bit of added shading. I used the Sketched Clovers stamp set for this card.


A sweet, pink, love you card using the Lined Heart stamp set.


Love these puffy letters! Such a cute set called Hugs to You! Colored with Copic markers.


This next set is a beauty! It's called Always and Forever. I white embossed the heart and sentiment over a watercolor background. 

Okay, that's it from me. I hope I've given you some fun ideas for using some of the products from these two, fabulous releases! Thank you so much for stopping by!

The Love You More card is amazing! Just gold and red and yet so impactful with sentiment the main attraction but the hearts behind were no backstage attraction. You did this so well and now I need that heart stamp.
