Hello Stamplings,
Welcome! You have whooshed through the second full week of 2020! I just noticed how much lighter it is outside at 5 p.m. It surprises me every year how fast that happens. Anybody working on Easter cards? Settle down. I'm joking! I'm sorry you schputtered coffee on your screen.
I'm still into hearts and love here, what with today being a reminder that there is only one week left in the current Twofer Card Challenge #23 where the prompt is 💟HEARTS💟 and where ~ psst ~ there are prizes to be had in celebration of our 2nd Blogaversary!! 🎁
Here are my two cards together:
The heart prompt my two cards have in common is the NBUS heart from the "Heart Smile" set by Concord & 9th.
For this card, I off-set stamped the NBUS scribbled line wreath from "Love You, Mean It" by Concord & 9th. Then I stamped the two halves of the arrow 'almost' perfickly. Next the sediment, also from "Heart Smile," was stamped in red. And lastly, using the matching dies from that set, I added three die-cut hearts to the wreath. QACAS!
This card went to the Mister yesterday on the happy occasion of our 49th wedding anniversary! 💋When I first started blogging, we were married 41 years so some of you have been with us on this journey for a number of years! 💋 to you, too, for your long friendship and support!

🎵"First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes baby in a baby carriage."🎵Remember that old rhyme? Now it's an ear worm. You're welcome.
For this design, I used every one of the five heart stamps that came with the Heart Smile set to make my own DSP. Then I used the same die to cut two hearts, stamped them with love, and had Hammy pop them up with dimensionals. I used a ribbon to transition to the white panel where I stamped a sediment from Ranger called, "Letter It - Baby."
I remember someone (Oprah?) (Ellen?) giving etiquette advice on situations where you are at a loss as to what to say when you want to be nice and you don't want to lie. For instance, when you meet someone whose baby is, um, well ... you just say, "Oooh, look! It's a BABY!!"
I'm linking this card to Happy House: Celebrating new birth.
