I Love You so Very Much!

Happy Saturday, everyone!!  I hope this posts find you having a glorious spring day!  The early part of our day was full of sunshine, but now it seems the clouds have decided to move on in.  Such is spring in Montana!!

I wanted to just write up a quick post today and share my CPS card, where we were sponsored by The Stamps of Life this week.  I have been envisioning a card using hearts in this manner, and it finally came together!  Here is what I created:

"I Love You so Very Much!" supplies: 

Cardstock: Bazzill Basics (white) & Papertrey Ink (kraft) 

Paper/Jewels/Lace: Glitz Design (Beautiful Dreamer: polka, Pretty In Pink: ledger, toile, music, stripe & Happy Travels: planes, floral, stripe, bicycle)

Stamps: The Stamps of Life (quote2love set)

Ink: Clearsnap (Pigment: frost white)

Twine: My Mind's Eye

Pin: Maya Road

Corner Rounder: Creative Memories

Diecut Machine: Cuttlebug by Provo Craft

Dies: My Favorite Things (hearts) & WPlus9 (banner)

Sewing Machine: Brother

Thread: Coats & Tails

Instructions: Make card from white cardstock, then round the bottom corners.  Diecut the hearts from different patterened papers, and adhere to the bottom of the card.  Zig-zag stitch through the middle of each row of hearts.  Wrap lace and twine directly above the hearts, tie a double bow from the twine, and then accent the middle with a jewel.  Diecut the banner from kraft cardstock, then stamp the sentiment to it.  Adhere it to the top of the card, then zig-zag stitch along the right side of it.  Thread a heart topped pin through the stitching on the sentiment banner.  Accent the banner and hearts with pink jewels to finish.
