SSS Sweetheart Release, Printmaking Hearts and Hugs & Kisses

 *This post contains affiliate links to Simon Says Stamp.

Hi friends!  It's a release day at Simon Says Stamp!  As you might imagine, the Sweetheart release is full of all sorts of Valentine's themed products including several designed my yours truly.

It always takes me a while to figure out what to share first.  A lot of times I'll highlight products one at a time, but this card is my favorite created for the release and includes all my new products, so I figured I would share it right off the bat.

It's been a while since I released a Printmaking set, but I thought that Hearts would be a great addition.

Printmaking Hearts is similar to the Printmaking Pines set where there isn't an outline layer, just three layers that create the completed hearts.  I used Watermelon, Sunbeam, and Sherbet for my three layers.  The hearts were then die cut with the coordinating die.

I thought the previously released Lava Lamp stencils would create the perfect background.  There are six stencils in the set, but I chose to use just three of them, using the same colors I used for the stamping.

The stenciled panel was trimmed down and then adhered to my card base, and I then placed my die cut hearts in groups of three on the background.

Hugs & Kisses is my newest sentiment die set.  It comes with the sentiment itself as well as a shadow piece, but for this card I'm using just the sentiment piece.  It was cut from yellow and pink cardstock, adhered slightly offset, and then popped up over the background and hearts.

I did adhere one of the front hearts with foam tape as well for some additional dimension.

I have lots more to share in the coming days, including tomorrow when there will be a fun blog hop, so stay tuned.  For now though, you'll want to head over to Simon to check out the full release.  See you tomorrow!
