Today I'm sharing some clean and simple Valentine cards featuring the new Triple Heart Love stamp. Just one stamp, but so many possibilities. We'll look at two cards today, one with paper-piecing and one with some inky fun.

First up, paper-piecing. To create this idea, stamp the image onto white cardstock. Then stamp the image again onto two shades of pink cardstock. Fussy cut and adhere the cut hearts onto the white cardstock. A few sequins, and a strip of black and white paper finished up this sweet and simple card.

For this next card, I had some inky fun. To create this look, first stamp the image onto watercolor paper. Here's a TIP: When stamping onto textured cardstock or watercolor paper, it helps to use a MISTI or stamping platform. That way you can stamp your image a few times to get a really nice dark impression on rough paper. 

After stamping the image, mist with water and then add a drop or spritz of your favorite liquid dye ink. One of my favorites are Jane Davenport Inkredible Inks, (used on this card.) Play around with the amount of water and ink to achieve the look you like. Once it was dry, I added a splatter of Silk and this card was done!
