Happy New Year to all my crafty friends! It has been a little quiet around here due to the craziness of the holidays.....that and a lack of mojo. Like seriously in a rut. A big one.
I got in to my craft room, cleaned it really good. So good that I have Priority Mail boxes FULL of crafty stuff to sell. If you are interested in those, click HERE. I have several boxes left and they are ready to go to a good home.
After all the cleaning and purging, I went to my box of "stuff to use" that I hadn't opened yet and I found this ADORABLE die from Simon Says Stamp. It's called Clipping Heart and I love it. Seriously. It's like a bonus die. Why, you ask? Well, you get this amazing outline and then look at all those hearts!! It's a 2-fer. :)
Here is the card I whipped up for today.....
I did a simple watercolor wash in the background and then added the "i love you" from WPlus9's Bubble Talk. I added in the Clipping Heart after stacking 4 of them together. Then I ran one through with the sliver glitter paper and added in the hearts. So easy and so much fun!
