More Valentines with Ellen & Julie

Don't you just love the newest release from Ellen Hutson? Such cute images, thank you, Julie!!, and such funny punny sentiments to go with them. Here are a few more, in mini size, that I created using the Ellen Huston Folk Hearts along with the new release sets, Jammin' and Hello, I Love You.

First I stamped random backgrounds on white cardstock using the aforementioned stamps as well as the Bokeh Dots stamp set, also from Ellen Hutson. I then cut the hearts from this background piece, also cutting four more hearts from plain, white cardstock for the backs of the cards. I do this to provide a sturdy card, and it also hides any ink that may bleed through to the back.

I added other elements to the cards, once I placed the colored images, I used other stamp sets that fit the theme. "Special Delivery" is from a Heidi Swapp Christmas stamp set, xoxoxo is hand written, and the "hugs" speech bubble is from My Favorite Things. 

I added glossy accents to the strawberry jam jar, and for the loaf, cut several pieces of the toast. With a paper piercer I made the holes for the baker's twine (as I don't have my crop-a-dile with me).
