Stamp Review Crew: Hearts A Flutter Edition

 This edition of the Stamp Review Crew features Hearts A Flutter stamp set and if you think this set is limited to a few layouts and designs, you are about to find out how versatile this fun little set of banners can be! Continue around this Hearts A Flutter Blog Hop for a ton of inspiration and a wide variety of creative and beautiful cards and projects!

My first two cards with the Hearts A Flutter stamp set are Valentine's cards. I made two sets of these cards, identical with the exception of the color tones - one traditional Real Red and Whisper White with Gold and the other non-traditional pastels Crisp Cantaloupe and Very Vanilla with Gold.

The coordinating Hearts A Flutter Framelits are definitely my friend when using this stamp set. I also loved playing with the Gold Embossed Vellum which is from the Occasions Mini Catalog that debuted this month. 

Here is a close up of the Heart elements on the fronts of these cards. I stamped the largest scalloped heart image in the coordinating ink color onto the cardstock. This is die cut with the Hearts A Flutter Framelit and sponged pretty heavily to emphasize the scallops. I paper pierced the the dotted border of the image and then added white dots to the inner dotted border with the Chalk White Marker (carryover item - yaya!) The xoxo sentiment in Gold Foil is one of the accessory framelits in the Circle Thinlits Card Framelits - LOVE!

Check out the inside of these cards where I stamped Be My Valentine, one of the many sentiments from Delightful Dozen, in Gold Encore and Heat Embossed it in Gold Embossing Powder. Here I played with the banner pieces and strung a layered banner filled with pennants and hearts below the sentiment. Which color combination do you prefer? This year I am finding myself leaning more toward the non-traditional Valentine's with Soft Blues, Pistachio Greens and Corals.

The last card I want to share with you is a winter themed Thank You card using the Hearts A Flutter set, using only the banner images. We are sending so many thank you's this time of year at my house that I can't keep enough of them in my stash!

I stamped the banner images in Night of Navy ink onto Whisper White and die cut them with the coordinating Hearts A Flutter Framelits. The Thanks Big Time sentiment from Timeless Talk is also stamped in Night of Navy and punched out with a 1" Circle Punch. This is popped up on one of the pennants. I ran the Night of Navy cardstock piece through the Big Shot with the Northern Flurry TIEF and then added a few Rhinestone Jewels to the snowflake centers. Pretty little bows of the Silver Trim (a carryover item so still available to order - yaya!) finish the ends of this banner.
