A Heart for You has the cutest little images on it. (You might remember them from yesterday's Valentine card!) On today's first card, I stamped and fussy cut some images and clustered them together on a die cut rectangle. (Although this stamp set does have coordinating dies too.) So sweet and simple!
Next up, I stuck a bunch of images onto one block together and stamped a super quick background. I love this technique with small stamps that can be clustered together. My tip for this technique is to lay out the images on a block to make a square or rectangle shape, so you won't have awkward empty spots when you stamp repeatedly. BUT, have no fear if you end up with empty spaces, just go back and fill in with a small image on it's own. The sentiment for this card came from another ADORABLE new stamp set by Nola Chandler, called Valentine Hearts.
On the card below, I used a cluster of images again, but I added a layer of vellum over the top so that my sentiment (created with the new Capital Alphabet dies) would really be the focus.
