14 Days of Valentine's Day Inspiration | Day #3
Love is in the air and Simon Says Stamp has made it even more fun to create projects to show someone that you love them with their 2013 Valentine’s Day Release!
I was asked to create a project using something from this release to share in today’s Valentine’s Day Blog Hop. I couldn't make just one project. The Valentine's Day Release is so very good and I love it all so I had to make two projects!
I love all the amazing greetings, phrases and text included in the stamp sets and thought it might be fun to create a chalkboard-style background. I stamped the greetings with the Hero Arts Unicorn White Ink on a dark gray cardstock. (Don't you just love the way this ink looks on darker cardstock colors? It. Is. Ah-mazing!)
I stamped heart images and one phrase with Versamark and embossed the images with Rouge Embossing Powder for contrast (and to give that nice red Valentines-y color!).

For this next card, I was inspired by all the gorgeous colors of Hero Arts Mid-Tone Inks and wanted to do something a little different than the traditional red/pink/white Valentine's color scheme. I also wanted to keep this one simple and keep the layers to a minimum but keep the card vibrant and fun!
I started with a white card base where I stamped parts of my greeting (taken from a couple of different stamp sets) using Memories Black Ink and gluing the Simon Says Stamp exclusive "you" die (cut from 6x6 patterned paper) in between for color and interest.
Then I die cut several hearts from the die set that coordinates with the SSS Lots of Hearts Stamp Set and stamped a coordinating heart on each using a bright Hero Arts Mid-Tone Ink. Then I adhered each to the card and finished the front of the card by stamping a tiny, tiny heart around the large die cut stamped hearts using the same colors of ink.
I finished the card by stamping a greeting inside the card. :)
