XOXO

I'm sharing another Sneaky Peek of stamps and dies from the upcoming release from The Cat's Pajamas.  The new release includes four new stamp sets and five new CutUps dies.  This post shows off one of the stamp sets and two of the dies.

XOXO card-designed by Lori Tecler/Inking Aloud-stamps and dies from The Cat's Pajamas
I used the Conversation Hearts stamp set along with the CutUps Small Envie and and Nested Heart dies to make a clean and simple love themed design.  The mini envie was cut from white vellum, then assembled with a vellum-friendly adhesive.  I used a scrap of white cardstock to make an insert for the envelope.  After stamping one of the hearts from the Conversation Hearts set on the insert, I tucked it inside the envelope, using a bit of adhesive to secure it.

I adhered the envelope to a gray cardstock panel over a strip of grid patterned washi tape.  I used the new CutUps Nested Heart dies to cut a pair of hearts from red cardstock.  They're set at the corner of the envelope using foam tape for dimension.  A few white sequins scattered around the envelope completed the design.  I adhered the finished panel to a bold red card base.
