Hi there! Hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating the new year. I actually rang in the new year on an airplane flying somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. We had a quick stop in Dublin, Ireland and then onto Germany where we are visiting our oldest son who is living there this year playing hockey.
I am struggling with the time change, BUT so very happy to see my boy💗He is doing great, by the way, and we have been enjoying all the delicious food and wonderful culture.
Today I’m sharing this project over on the Simon Says Stamp blog featuring the All My Heart Stencil & So Loved stamp set. I die cut the sentiment using one of the Nested Hearts dies and blended the background with distress inks, adding translucent embossing paste for the shine. This could be a great card for Valentine’s Day, but could easily work all year long. Head over to the Simon Says Stamp blog to see the video. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Thank you for sharing this adorable card ! And for the info about your foams : I had different foams for my different inks (even if I’ve got a very small choice). I will change that immediately.

January 4, 2019 at 4:55 pmEnjoy visiting with your son or are you back? Wow all the way in Germany. You must be so proud as you should be. My son still plays hockey, has been playing since he was 4 and now going on 39!!! I can’t believe that. Haha. It’s a wonderful sport and has been a wonderful stress reliever. We have met so many wonderful families. Have fun, looking forward to your updates. Gayle❤️❤️

What a blessing to spend time with loved ones who are so far in miles but so close in our heart.
Beautiful card. Your work is always a treat.
