I'm excited to share three cards today that all feel like a breath of fresh springtime air. If you're ready for Valentines Day, you'll love this new release - but I gotta say, I feel like we'll be able to use most of these stamps all year long, and I'm always a fan of that kind of versatility! 

The first card, Choose Love, is a very clean and simple card. It's flat and easy to mail, and I colored the Heart Medallion with colored pencils.

On the second card featuring Heart Medallion, I colored it with watercolor pencils. I went a little darker and bolder with the color, while still keeping the card bright and fresh.

I don't often do this, but I kept this card without a sentiment. It just felt like it worked so well without one, and it will be perfect for so many different occasions. I love the way the Heart Medallion pairs right over the Mid-Size Frame die.

And last but not least, the Follow Your Heart card, which feels the most springy to me. I love the way the Heart Vines stamp looks repeated on the background. I added just a bit of watercolor pencil to some of the leaves to add some subtle color. With super cute stamps that make a big impact, cards can be kept sweet and simple!

    Laura,
    I love your card with the Heart Medallion stamp!
    The design reminds me of the custom Hungarian cookies I ordered for my son's wedding in 2018. Your artwork is beautiful, as always! SS
