Hi there! Today I’m joining Simon Says Stamp for their Hugs & Kisses Release Blog Hop!
My first project features the new Nested Round Hearts dies. I used one of the Reverse Bold Love Sentiment Strips for the sentiment.
The second card showcases the Concentric Hearts Background Cling Stamp. I stamped it using Carnation, Blush & Melon Pawsitively Saturated Inks.
For the sentiment I used the CZ Love Ya word die with vellum and matte gold cardstock.
Here is a video showing how I created these simple heart projects.
GIVEAWAY!
Simon Says Stamp is giving away a $25 coupon to every stop on the hop.
