HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2025 is here – can you believe it!? Every year, I wonder where the last year went. As I get older, I feel that holidays sneak up on me and I’m usually unprepared as I try to make a holiday special for my kids. I need it all to slow down a little! As I continue to chug along with work this year, my goal is to be more mindful of TIME. I hope the next year brings you great joy and opportunities for growth!

My card today uses some products from the Simon Says Stamp To Love release! This is a soft Valentine’s release, and more is coming soon!

The background of this card uses the Harlequin Heart background stamp. I stamped the entire background with the light pink. In order to add the darker color, I cut 1/2″ strips of paper and used temporary adhesive to mask of every other row of my stamped panel before inking my stamp up with a darker color.

The large heart and sentiment is stamped from the Retro Hearts set. To give it more interest, I used some dark pink (Magenta) glitter cardstock from the Hot Tamale Glitter Cardstock Pack. Additionally, I added some Hot Tamale Embellishments.
