simon says stamp: love you and love you, too release blog hop day 1
Hello there crafty friends! I am super excited to once again be joining Simon Says Stamp in a blog hop to celebrate their newest releases – Love You and Love You, Too! You should have arrived here from the blog of the amazingly talented Sidnie DesJardins.
I’m not sure about you, but I am already in full swing making Valentine’s cards. Before I share my cards with you today, I want to point out the special code in the graphic above that will give you a FREE Faraway Hugs 6 x 8 stamp set with any purchase of $100 or more (while supplies last) – good until 1/18 at 11:59 ET.
Today, I am doing one of my favorite things to do with new stamps – using one stamp from the new release 3 different ways, and this time it’s the new XOXO Background Cling stamp:
For my first card, I stamped the XOXO Background onto black card stock and embossed with Pink embossing powder. I added part of a Reverse Slimline Love Sentiment Strip and two of the Mini Interactive Envelope dies. I stamped a some sentiments from the Inside Friendship Messages stamp set onto the little card on the open envelope.
For the second card, I stamped the XOXO Background and embossed it in gold. I added some gold and black splatter to the card and some metallic thread to add texture and interest, then I added an Etched Linear Heart die cut from Metallic Kraft Stock. I finished the card by adding a piece of a Reverse Slimline Love sentiment strip and another XO embossed in white on black and some clear droplets.
For my final card, I created a watercolor background look by inking up a panel with my Distress Inks in rainbow colors and spraying it will a mist of water, then stamping the XOXO Background stamp onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock using DIstress Oxides. I cut the panel with the Wonky Rectangles die and added the Love Your Guts die along with a tiny heart from the Mini Hearts Party Die.
