Welcome everyone. Today we are celebrating the latest Simon Valentines release "Hey Love".
If you're coming from Kristina Werners blog, then you're in the right place.
First up, I thought I'd show you some unassuming dies I designed from this release. They are the Partial Cut Leaves. They can be placed anywhere on your card to create little leaves that
lift off the page.
I die cut my leaves up the right side of a white panel then added a single flower. I stamped the message using Slate ink. Then I placed the panel over a top folding Fog notecard and added Nuvo drops in Oyster.
Next, in an attempt to use up some washi tape, I created a collage with tape, paint and die cuts. I just went for it. I didn't even worry about what hearts were left in the die cut piece.
When I was happy with my layering, I used some black Enamel Accents on the painted area as a finishing touch. Creating this way is relaxing and unpredictable!
Finally... this die.. The Heart of Flowers. It's super fun. I created it with this card in mind. My thoughts of creating a watercolor panel with the die cut on top worked out really well.
You could use any color theme
really, but I went with a rainbow theme!
To add the greeting, I just white embossed it on a strip of black cardstock for contrast and set it at the bottom of the heart.

I love the cards, simple but beautiful
I love the washi card and the hearts of flowers die card, in particular-one fun and the other scrumptious colors!
i love the leaf dies!
Love the mixed media design one the best but all are stunning!
I thought oh, I have so many leaf dies, but then looked again and saw that they were still attached at the end, very cool.
I also liked the "heart of flowers" die too.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful cards.
Beautiful cards! Love the tone-on-tone card with the flower. Gorgeous!
P.S. I love this
3 WOW cards!!!
Love the leaves dies. I'm inspired to arrange them like wings for a butterfly or dragonfly... and have them leap off the page into partial flight.
Holy hearts! What a glorious die the Partial Leaves are! Absolutely fantabulous! Love all of your cards but the one using the Partial Leaves die is my favorite! So awesome!! TFS!
I just Love the rainbow card. And I can't wait to get that stamp set. Tfs.
Very pretty!
Super cute cards!! Love the partial cut leaves die. Thanks for the chance to win.
Beautiful cards and what innovative dies you have designed. Those leaves though... swoon swoon!
I love leaves in most forms, so that die is intriguing. Thanks for sharing some great ideas.
Such great cards, I love them all. The hearts of flowers card is my favorite. I can't wait to try this one out.
Shari, there are few things I love more than white-on-white cards ... and then you go and add these fabulous leaves? Perfection! Pure, and simple - LOVE!
=]
Beautiful cards - all of them but that first one is so gorgeous!!!
Thanks for showing how to use the leaves! I probably would overlook such a simple die, but your card is gorgeous! I might have to add it to my wish list! All of the cards are beautiful, but the white one really stands out to me. Thanks for sharing!
I love those leaf dies Shari! And how you used them in your first card, wow! Beautiful cards. TFS
Beautiful cards! Love the differences and how unique each one is.
That heart is GORGEOUS!
Can't wait for Valentine's Day!
Your leaves are so cool. Anxious to try them.
I'm in love with the partial die-cut leaves - beautiful!
All are beautiful,but I am obsessed especially with the first one.
Beautiful!
Love the cards
These are so beautiful. The "love you to pieces" card is my favorite.
Such great ideas! Love the tie dye die cut window.
Such a beautiful use of "white space"! Love the leave distribution on the first card. Elegant!
Great cards - I really like the partial cut dies but the Heart of Flowers is my very favorite!
Oh My Gosh! These are all eye catching, fantastic!
I love playing with dies in every way!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Each card is so different love them all
Oh my what beautiful cards.
I need to remember that the center of the card isn't the only place to get crafty...
I love those lift up leaves and the watercolor behind the heart! Gorg!
I love the white card. Elegant, as usual.
So beautiful
These are all amazing cards, but I love the Partial Cut Leaves. What a great idea.
love the heart of flower
All gorgeous cards! Hard to chose a favorite!
Lovely! The tones are so delicate.
Your first card has a simple elegance and I MUST get those partial dies! Love that this card!
Your 2nd card, experimental or not...WOW, LOVE THIS TOO!! Perfect option of not fishing the centers out of all the hearts and the addition of the black enamel dots really helps brighten up the pink. Super fun and beautiful.
Love the "Heart of Flowers" die! That is so cool! Very pretty and fun cards!
These cards are all amazing - I think my favorite is the one with the watercolor background
Love the washi tape card! When I try something like that, it just looks like a bunch of stuff threw up on the card!! LOL!!
Beautiful work!
Jeanne

Wow stunning cards, Shari! Fabulous designs and so many gorgeous details! Love the must have dies you've designed!
Love Blog Hops! I love all the inspiration. That die that cuts the leaves and makes them come off the page. Love.
Your designs are nothing short of fabulous ... love the partial leaves, but I think my favorite would be the Hey Love hearts diecut ... that is on my "must have" list now ... thanks so much for sharing with ys!!
SHari you are the queen of layering. So pretty. Interesting leaves. Glad to see them in action.

Three completely different card styles and I love all three!
You've got talent lady! Great cards!
Fantastic cards and dies! Love them!
I wouldn't have thought to use leaves for a love theme but I quite like them! The watercoloured rainbow with the heart die is a favourite, it's just so happy looking!
--Kelly
Love the delicate details on each card. The die cuts are so pretty. I love the bright colors behind to accent the details. Beautiful cards.
Wow! What gorgeous cards!!! All three!!! I especially love the washi collage look! Very unique! Thanks!!
Before your card, I was going to pass on those leaves die set, but wow..I love your card so much I will be getting those leaves after this post. Thank you so much for sharing all your beautiful and absolutely sweet and pretty cards. Love them!
All your cards are amazingly beautiful!
YOu have a great eye for color Shari. I love all the cards, but I am partial to the Love you to pieces! Thanks for sharing

Absolutely gorgeous cards, Shari! I love the leaves die cuts you designed so much!
Stunning! Great cards! Love the tone on tone of your first card.
I especially love your second card!
I really like your heart card with the watercolor background showing through!
Of the cards you created, my favorite is the one that uses washi tape... Really liked the design.
Your cards are so wonderful, I love the Last one
Gorgeous cards! I'm glad you showed the leaves die. Sometimes you can't really tell what a die looks like until you see a sample.
Beautiful and exquisite cards!
I love all of these! That white flower is gorgeous!
Love the result of the card where you "went for it". Inspires me to give it a go, too!
Absolutely fantastic! I love the dies, I love their versatility, and I love, love, love the brilliant use of these products in your cards. Thanks so much!
Love these Shari!
Stunning cards! Especially love that first card.
Awesome cards.
I just adore all three of your cards. The first is elegant with the single rose and the half leaves. As we get to the last card they become a bit more whimsical and fun. However, all three are beautiful.
Great cards, Shari! Though I always love what you do.
love all your cards, the white on white with the dimensionl flower sis awesome, but my favorite is the heart of flowers one, and whilst i was waiting for it to come in i tried to do your colored background, one was too busy and others too intense and not happy and bright, so i went for ombre for now ;-)
Shari, As always LOVE, LOVE your work!
Hugs Vada
I loved your cards. That card you made with the heart of flowers really sold it for me. Thanks!
Awesome cards - I am totally loving the 2nd card with all the luscious layering!
Love the cards. The dies are amazing.
Such elegant cards!
Your cards are so pretty. I especially like the leaves down the side and the white on white.
Adorable cards
Great set of cards. I agree that just doing what comes to you often works out great.
Love your cards. Especially the white one with the flower. So simple but so elegant.
Awesome cards!!!! Love all the hearts!!!💖💕
I love them all, I just can't pick a favorite!
I love the variety of what you have done with the cards. I just started crafting cards this past month and am finding examples really helpful as I learn what's possible. For the first card for leaves, I'm guessing you used one piece of paper and then die cut it several times?
Loved the cut leaves and I ordered it! Too bad the hearts don't ship until February 10th 🙁 but I ordered it anyway!
Debbie Niemeyer
Great cards. My fave is the first one with the leaves--so elegant.
