Love is in the air and Simon Says Stamp has made it even more fun to create projects to show someone that you love them with their 2013 Valentine’s Day Release. I was asked to create a project using something from this release to share in today’s Valentine’s Day Blog Hop. I hope you have enjoyed the hop so far and this is the last stop! I couldn't wait to play with some of the dies in this release to make this card:
Loved turning the hearts into balloons. I die cut them out of patterned paper and then covered them in Glossy Accents - twice! I wanted them to be good and thick. I used Basic Grey's True Love 6X6 paper pad -- such gorgeous paper. I love using paper pads because you can put anything together from them and it looks great!
I was excited to use a Hero Arts Charcoal colored note card. I know... I'm silly to be so excited about new notecards but I LOVE their new black, charcoal and wet cement colors. I can see using them alot!
Supplies: Simon You Stamp Set; Simon Large Holiday Shapes die set; Simon You die; Simon Large Hearts die set; Basic Grey True Love 6X6 paper pad; Ranger Glossy Accents; Hero Arts Charcoal Folded Cards: Hero Arts Designblock Tweet Pattern Background Stamp; Hero Arts Wet Cement Mid-Tone Shadow Ink; May Arts Twine; Foam Dots: Hero Arts Soft Sand Shadow Ink
And now to the giveaway part! Leave a comment on this blog post and one lucky winner will receive a Simon Goodie Bag (if you know Heidi, it will be a good one!). We will draw the winner on Thursday morning 1/31/13 at 9:00 AM EST. so be sure to leave your comment by then.

There's so much to like about this card! I like the colors, the banner that overlaps the edge of the card, the twine balloon strings, the tone on tone background.
