Heart Banner and It's Leftovers

Ok...a couple cards with the sweet and uber pretty new Simon Says Stamp Heart Banner die and my rainbow colored paint chips!  The first simply uses the banner, layered with the paint chips placed into each of the hearts.  I used a sentiment from the Simon Set, Hello Friends. and rounded the bottom corners...super simply done...
 The second card uses all the leftovers of the first one(plus a few extra) and the Simon Says Stamp Painted Thanks, along with the Grid Background stamp (stamped with Versamark and clear embossed for some interest and dimension)...
I used the paint chips again on this one, using 2 shades of each color from paint chips for the hearts.  What made this so easy, were the lines from the grid stamp...placement was a breeze!!  Here's a close up (if you look closely, you can see the embossed grid)...
LOVE this die...had SO MUCH FUN!!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

You Make Life Sweet

I used some "sweet" new products from Reverse Confetti to make a tag card...
I used Lovey Words Confetti Cuts die for the sentiment, along with the Lovey Words Coordinates sentiment stamp.    I LOVE the Heart Tag Topper Confetti Cuts, which I filled with a rainbow of colors...a sweet addition to the Topped Off Tag Confetti Cuts.  I layered both the heart tag topper and sweet sentiment, then glossy accented the "sweet"...
Here's a list of the products I used...


Ok...so much fun...oh how I love hearts...SWEET!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Thanks with Single Roses

I have been enjoying time with my wonderful sister Rachel, visiting from Buffalo...she got snowed in here because of her connecting flight  home in Baltimore, so I get to enjoy her for one more day!!  Until I get back in my "haven", I've put together a card that uses the pretty Simon Says Stamp Single Roses dies and Painted Thanks die, along with...my beloved paint chips!!...
I die cut the roses from 3 shades of yellow...shades are what I LOVE about paint chips...making these flowers was easy and fun to do with paint chips, the leaves from one green paint chip and the "thanks" from a black chip:)!!  I layered all the elements... twice for flowers and leaves, three times for sentiment.  Added to card with tiny glue dots to adhere to card and to each other.  Here's a close up...
These flowers are so wonderful:)!!  See you in a couple days:)!!  Thanks so much for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Sending You Lots of Love

I LOVE the little flowers in the new Simon Says Stamp Mini Flowers and Leaves die set!!  These are the cutest flowers...and I love the fact that they are so small...you can put a bunch of them together for a virtual garden of loveliness:)!!...
 I die cut and layered the flowers twice, and hand drew the stems.  I hand drew the stitching around the heart by using the heart die, placing it over the window, and tracing around the die:)!  Here's a close up...
Did I say I love these flowers?...oh yeah...I did...so much fun!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Biggest Heart

I used the  new Simon Says Stamp die, Stitched Heart Collage, to make a quick, simple card for Valentine's or any time:)...
 I used paint chips for the 2 shades of pink for my heart "windows".  I thought the sentiment from an older set of Simon stamps, Lila's Heart went PERFECT with this die and perfect for so many occasions!  I LOVE Valentine's Day, but I also LOVE to see hearts used all through the year, and love taking this season and opportunity to show off hearts this way!!  Popped up the die cut panel over the chip pieces underneath.  Here's a close up...
Ok...so much fun and so easy and simple...and speaking of love...I LOVE easy and simple!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa

Love and Thanks

I made another card with the beautiful new stamp/die set from Simon Says Stamp, Roses for You...I LOVE these flowers...the last card the roses on stems, this time all together to form a pretty heart...
I stamped the roses with versamark on vellum and white embossed.  I colored on the back of the vellum with my Prismacolor pencils, using some Gamsol and stumps to blend the colors.  I did the same with the "Love", except on white cardstock, not vellum.  The "& THANKS"is from another Simon stamp set, Jumbo Stripes.  Here's a close up...
I've got a bunch more of these stamped vellum rose filled hearts...hmmmmm...oh what great fun!!  Thanks for visiting me today!! Hugs!! Lisa
