All You Need is Love!!!

Greetings friends and fellow crafters. I feel so bad as here it is 2 days before Valentines Day and I am realizing my post for Maker's Movement did not publish.

I had so much fun using the Notes of Love Stamp set and the Special Delivery Die set to make this cute Valentine. Sit back and relax and I'll tell you how I did it.

I found the Recollections pattern paper I wanted to use for the envelope using the Special Delivery Die set, and ran it through my die cutting machine.

I then ran the second die through the machine with Pink card-stock to be the front of my envelope. I used white card-stock for the "postage stamp" and the word Love.

I also used White card-stock for my Valentine card which I cut with the label die, and then Kraft card-stock to be a backer layer for that.

Once I had all my layers cut, I went to stamping. Using Memento Tuxedo black ink I stamped the arrows on the postage stamp and the sentiment on the card. I used Ladybug Red to stamp the Heart and word Love. Using New Sprout and Bamboo Leaves I stamped the wheat vine on either side of the sentiment.
Putting together the envelope was easy, the die set scores the paper while cutting out the shape. All that is needed is to crease on the folds, and add some double side tape along the two sides in the back, release the backing paper and adhere together.
I also used double side tape to adhere all my other panels together, and On Point Glue to adhere the die cut love to the front of the envelope. And with that my project is complete.

Unfortunately it appears the stamp set I used may not be available any longer, as it is not showing on the company website.
