Love Everywhere Sneak Peeks
It’s that time of year again….Love is Everywhere! Department stores barely have the Christmas decor out the door before the Valentine merchandise hits the shelves. But don’t get me wrong…I’m not complaining! I love Valentine’s Day! In fact, I’ve already perused and purchased decor from the Valentine displays at Target! 🙂
And now it’s time to get started on those Valentine cards and treats! The stamp set we’re taking a peek at today called Love Everywhere is definitely up to the task! Our illustrator, Nancy McKinney, really brought this concept to life! So….where will you find love this Valentine’s Day?
This set is filled with love in all the ordinary places of life. For my card I started by stamping the branches of the tree onto Kraft cardstock and masking it with a post-it note. The branches and the hearts are two separate stamps for easy 2-step stamping. Then I stamped the picket fence in Cloud White pigment ink in 
the background. I stamped the heart ‘leaves’ in Memento Rhubarb Stalk ink. I stamped them again, cut some out, and popped a few up with foam tape. I also stamped the dog in Memento Rich Cocoa ink, cut him out, and popped him up in front of the fence. Doesn’t he look like he’s having fun digging one of those dreaded holes!? 😉 The patterned paper, cardstock, ric rac, and Stardust Stickles on this card are part of the Valentine Key Ingredients kit also releasing this month! I used the Small Classic and Small Scalloped squares and the Ribbon Tag Trio dies from Spellbinders. For my special Valentine treat I filled a Stampendous mini pail with M&M’s. I used the Martha Stewart picket fence border punch and adhered it around the pail with 1/4″ Sticky Tape. I stamped the sentiment and mailbox in Memento Rich Cocoa. I cut out the mailbox and adhered it to the pail with Sticky Tape. The sentiment was punched with the Word Window punch.
