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.

I check your blog several times a day and have cased so many of your cards I am embarrased to admit how many. Your coloring is always so beautiful. Congrats on the 900 milestone. Thanks for the chance to win a super cute stamp set.
