Country Bouquet Hearts Scattered with Love

 Greetings!

I love a good punch bundle (stamp set & punch) and the new Country Bouquet Bundle has quickly become a favorite.  The punch punches out hearts of two sizes as well as two leaves.  So cute!  The stamp set has lovely hearts sized to use with the punch as well as a large two-step heart to create a bouquet, and more.  

For today's card, the inspiration came directly from one of the samples in the Jan - April 2023 mini catalog.  Creating a subtle background print by stamping images in Versamark™ for a tone on tone look is a quick and easy technique, and a circle for the hearts to sit on gives them center stage.  I pulled in a couple of the prints from the Design a Daydream Designer Series Papers* for the background panel and the strip under the "with love".  Whether it's used as a Valentine's Day card, a birthday card, or just a little note of love, the recipient is going to feel loved and appreciated for sure!


The beautiful Pastel adhesive-backed sequins add a lovely bit of sparkle to the card, as does the little Soft Succulent ribbon tied into a bow.  

Remember, it is Sale-a-bration right now, so for every $50 in merchandise you order, you get to choose a FREE item from the Sale-a-bration selection.  This Country Bouquet bundle, plus the sequins and ribbon, qualify you for a Sale-a-bration item, so make sure to add everything you need to your cart to take advantage of the additional FREE products you can earn through the end of February.  Happy shopping! 😊
