I’ve been looking at some of the new product that arrived about a week ago and I’ve been wanting to play with it but long work hours have made it difficult. So I’m happy that I found some time today and I set out to use the new Sending Love suite which we played with at the Onstage Local back in November. Then we made some little cute 3 inch cards, but this time I wanted to use the Love Notes Framelits Dies on a full sized card. I intended to use the DSP too, but somehow that didn’t happen.

I took my colour scheme from the make and takes from Onstage – real red and emerald envy. I started by cutting out the envelope – easy with the dies – out of the sending love glassine sheets. Not only is it cut out, the die does the scoring for you. Just a little dab of snail on the bottom flap and the envelope was made. The sentiment actually comes from Suite Sentiments, a stamp set full of sentiments (!) which are designed to coordinate with other products in the Occasions catalog. So I stamped that first and then cut out my insert for the envelope. Luckily the Sealed with Love stamp set is a photopolymer so it was easy to line up my line of hearts. The heart is also cut out with the Love Notes Framelits Dies. For some reason, I overlooked the real red 3/8″ stitched satin ribbon in the annual catalog and only just received it. It’s fabulous in real red.

I guess I should start dinner before playing some more…
