It's All About the Hearts!

Hi all!  Happy New Year!  I am SO excited that today is the start of MFT Teaser Time!  The January release is full of amazing products.  Today we are kicking things off with stamps from Lisa Johnson Designs.  She has two gorgeous new stamp sets being released: Homespun Hearts and Hearts and Stitches.  They coordinate very well together.

My first card today uses the new Homespun Hearts stamp set and Rustic Hearts Die-namics, along with the Brand Spankin' New Premium Dye Ink Pad in KRAFT (love).

I used a Kraft base and some muted patterned papers.  The heart was stamped using Kraft Premium Dye Ink.  I cut the stamped heart out with the Rustic Hearts Die-namics and added some simple Fishtail Flags.  The Hemp Cord was tied around the sentiment, which I added a Notebook Edge to.  A single Kraft button threaded with Hemp Cord finished it off.  I tucked the new Heart Doily behind all the layers and distressed it with navy ink.  I roughed up the edges a bit and added some wonky stitching.  If you look closely you can see a single strip of Darling Dots stamped in white craft ink.  The card layout was inspired by Amy Sheffer.  Thanks for the inspiration!

Here is a peek inside using another sentiment from the set.

My second card is very clean and simple, using only a handful of products, most of which are new.  I stamped the background using the new Sno Cone ink pad, then stamped the hearts using Homespun Hearts in Sno Cone and Kraft inks.  I added a simple sentiment, a row of stitches from Hearts and Stitches stamp set and then finished it off with a Hemp Cord threaded Kraft Button.  Easy Peasy.

Here is a peek at the inside of the card.  I continued most of the elements, slightly simplified.

Here all the Brand Spankin' New Products used on my cards today:
