Hello friends! I know I've been really quiet on here (and YouTube and my Facebook page and Instagram) - lets just say it's been a rough month so far. HOWEVER, there have been some fun new products released, I have free gifts with purchase info AND a giveaway plus new cards and a video. Lots of fun things!! ❤️
First off - Simon Says Stamp's And Back Again release was revealed a couple of days ago - and it's actually the follow up to their To The Moon release from December! So it's To The Moon And Back Again (honestly I think it's adorable how they named these two releases).
You can check out the To The Moon release HERE <--------click!

What's even more fun is the free gifts you can get too - since this post is part of a blog hop I have this one to share with y'all:

While supplies last get the exclusive SSS zipper pouch FREE with purchases of $10 or more - no code needed (so you can get both the pouch and stamp set for free with purchase if you want!).
Lastly - if you missed any of my previous posts so far for my 2022 Valentine's Series you can find them all here:
Easy Rainbow Watercolor Backgrounds | AmyR 2022 Valentine's Card Series #1
One Stamp, Two Cards, NO Coloring | AmyR 2022 Valentine's Card Series #2
First Attempt with Pigment Deco Brush Markers | AmyR 2022 Valentine's Card Series #3
Foiled and Textured Cards | AmyR 2022 Valentine's Card Series #4
Now on to today's cards:
I used the new Heart Masks stencil set and ink blended Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Ink Trio 1 inks onto the card on the left and Simon's Pawsitively Saturated Ink Trio 6 onto the card on the right.
To create the splatter I used Zig's Gold Mica Ink and Silver Mica Ink - I've shown the gold one a couple times now in recent posts and LOVE it and the silver is great too.
The sentiments are from the new XL Love Greetings stamp set and I heat embossed it using Simon's Gold embossing powder and Silver embossing powder. There's a coordinating wafer die set available for these sentiments so I used that to die cut the heat embossed sentiments and adhered them with foam tape.
On the insides of the cards I used one of the Heart Masks stencils and Simon's inks to add the hearts, then stamped another sentiment from the XL Love Greetings set on top. To create all the heart embellishments I die cut Simon's Silver Glitter Paper and Gold Glitter Paper using the Mini Hearts Party wafer die set and Chunky Hearts Panel wafer die to get a variety of sizes and that was it!
To see how these cards came together check out my video below:
