Simply Love…
Well…It’s not Saturday but I’m going to share a very simple design with you today instead. These holidays mixed up with a lot to do have really done a number on my schedule!
I’m hoping another week of the kids home and then I’ll be able to get back to normal!
This is a super quick Valentine’s Design. I’m really loving simple these days. I love designing a variety of styles and mixing them up to keep things interesting. When you design pretty much daily…this is a good thing. I shared a design with you on Thursday with this same set and it has a totally different look. I still have another one up my sleeve
for another day. It is totally different again so stay tuned!
{Heart} U
For this design, I used a simple card of Very Vanilla cardstock and used a Spellbinders Oval Nestability die to emboss the front. This gives a very subtle look with no layers but still gives a sense of boundaries in the design. Inside the embossing, I stamped a simple U and heart from the Heart To Heart stamp set by Lizzie Anne Designs. For the heart…I added a little interest by first inking the stamp in Regal Rose ink and then Rock n Rolling the stamp by rolling the edges with my Rose Red ink pad. I love the dual tones and this is such a great simple technique for solid stamps.
For my super quick embellishments…I just adore these little felt birds from Maya Road…how cute is that?! A little button is tied with some May Arts ribbon and helps anchor the design.
Hope you are having a simply wonderful weekend!

Beautiful.
very cute, just love the bird with button!
Love the embossed oval, J! cute birdie, too
Pulling off a simple card isn’t as “simple” as it seems — and I always am impressed when I see one turn out as beautiful as this one! I love the embossed area and the little black bird. Really cute!
I LOVE this card! It’s awesome and now I’ll have to go get some of those felt birds!
This is simply gorgeous! WOW!
Fabulous!
Many Blessings,

So sweet, Julia! Love the bird and button!
Elegantly simple. I will try some of these. Thanks for all that you do. btw, how is your craft room progressing?
This is absolutely gorgeous Julia. I can’t even single out a favorite thing about it because it all works together to make a stunning card.
This is so sweet. I was hoping that bird was a punch I could get.
Very cute bird! I love the simple look almost as well as the real detailed “stuff”. A mix to me is perfect…and you do it sooo well, Julia!!
OMGoodness Julia… you do “simple” so well! Love it! You must share WHERE to get these darling birds? *wink* Yes, I admit… birds are a passion of mine, whether it’s my friend Kim’s bird stamps, chipboard, brads, etc….
Hugs,
Anne
