BLOG HOP: Introducing JessicaLynnOriginal.com "True Love" Stamp Set

Hi everyone!

It's time for another JessicaLynnOriginal.com Blog Hop! Today we're featuring the all-new "True Love" stamp set.  This set comes with a ton of fun stamps that are good for more than just Valentine's Day.  You can use these for weddings, just because or a note for that special someone.  You can fill the frame with the sentiments that come with the set, or the butterflies, or pick some of your favorite sentiments from other sets and mix and match to your heart's content!  I didn't use the frame in these cards, but I plan to make more cards in the future with the frame.  It's great for any occasion.

If you came here from Jennifer's blog, then you're in the right place.  If you want to start the hop from the very beginning, click here.

This stamp set is so fun. I couldn't just make one card, so instead, I made two!  The first is inspired by yesterday's historic news in the US which has taken over social media, news outlets, and courthouses across the nation. #LOVEWINS.  I mean... who doesn't love rainbows and butterflies and love?

Card #1: Love Wins

The second card is a Flip-It card -- which shows a sentiment on the front and the butterflies on the back.  These Flip-It cards are so fun to make and the sentiments from this stamp set fit perfectly in the messaging area.

Card #2: Always You (Front)

Card #2: Always You (Inside)

CARD #1 "LOVE WINS" DIRECTIONS:

• Stamp the LOVE stamp on colic-friendly paper, color with Copic markers, add liquid pearls over the dots.  Let it dry
• Die cut the stamp from the second largest tag.  You may need to do some partial cutting if you're using the My Favorite Things tag dies -- this makes the tag shorter.
• Die cut a tag from the rainbow paper using the next largest die -- also partial cut the top so it's the right height.
• Attached the LOVE tag to the rainbow tag and punch a hole at the top.  String some Baker's Twine through the hole.
