Have you seen the new Better Together release over in the Simon Says Stamp store? So much goodness full of Valentine’s fun and products for spreading love all through the year. I have just a couple cards to share today, but I’m sure there will be much more to come!
My first card features the new Soaring for You stamp set with coordinating dies. I love making colorful kites that can soar off the side of the card, and those delicate kite tails….love! I stamped the tails in a soft Smoke ink. Then I heat embossed the kites in clear and then blended in some color using SSS inks. I also added just a touch of Sea Glass to the bottom of my card to give it the feeling of wayyyy up in the air. You know how it goes, the feeling of bliss when the kite is soaring only to get stuck in the tree and your kid cries for the rest of the afternoon…yeah, that.
This next card features the fun new Quite the Pear stamp set as well as the Sending die and Greeting Blocks to create that window.
This just cracks me up, because our cat stalks us night & day through the window. I love the bow tie and that Sending die….that handwritten font…so gorgeous! You just know it’s gotta be Kristina’s handwriting. Love it!
