Love Lives Here

Tonight, the Papertrey Ink design team is introducing the new Loves Lives Here stamp set, which will be available December 15th.  The new set is the result of a collaboration of Melissa Phillips and Nichole Heady. To me, letting my loved ones know just how much they mean to me is one of reasons I'm a papercrafter.  The new Love Lives Here stamp set, with all its beautiful sentiments and images, is the perfect set for creating heartfelt items for my loved ones. I just love the sentiments in the set.

I created this framed artwork and card using the set.  I think both will be perfect to give to my husband.  (You can click on the photos to enlarge them.)

The framed artwork was really pretty easy to create, but I think it turned out beautifully.  I started by cutting a piece of 4x6 white cardstock.  Then, I stamped the trees from Boards and Beams and the grass from Love Lives Here.  I colored the trees with copic markers.  Then, I die cut the tree and stamped the images.  I added some pure poppy felt behind the home and stamped the sentiment.  I used a blue copic marker and my air compressor to lightly spray the sky.  Then, I adhered my home with foam adhesive and glue dots.


To create my card, I started by stamping the sheet music stamp from Background Basics: Sheet Music (available December 15th) on rustic white cardstock.  Then, I cut a piece of kraft cardstock and stamped the flourishes from Mat Stack 2 Collection (also available December 15th) and the sentiment from Love Lives Here.  I stitched the piece to a piece of pure poppy carstock and adhered it to my card using foam adhesive.  Then, I die cut a piece of rustic white cardstock using the Mat Stack 2 die and stamped an image from Mat Stack 2 Collection.  I die cut another house and stamped the images, added some pure poppy felt and adhered the house and mat to my card with foam adhesive.
