Stamps: Love is in the Air, Happiness Enclosed, Bon Voyage
Ink: NEW Mystery ink, Black Jack
Dies: Postage Stamp Dies
Paper: Catherine Pooler White and Smoke
Sending Love Postcard
Ink: NEW Mystery ink, Black Jack
Dies: Postage Stamp Dies
Paper: Catherine Pooler White and Smoke
I used a number of stamps from 3 different sets to make a post-card full of love. The hand-lettered feel of the various sentiments really lends an authentic feel to it. The Postage Stamp Dies include a couple of stitched rectangles, and the smallest Postage Stamp die is (of course!) perfect as a stamp!
Rainbow Love
Stamps: Love is in the Air
Ink: Tiki Torch, Orange Twist, Tutti Frutti, Rockin Red, NEW Mystery Ink, Flirty Fuschia, Something Borrowed, Fiesta Blue, Aquatini, Lime Rickey, Melon Mist
Dies: Postage Stamp Dies, Love Die
Paper: Catherine Pooler White and Black
I used one edge of the largest Postage Stamp die to create a fun, bumpy border that these rainbow hearts nestle right into! These inks are so luscious and vibrant that I absolutely love using as many as I can to make a rainbow! I inlaid the love die.
Peacock Love
Stamps: Bon Voyage
Ink: Tiki Torch, Party Dress, Flirty Fuschia, NEW Mystery Ink, Black Jack
Dies: Bon Voyage Accoutrement Dies (Add-on to SOA Collection), Postage Stamp Dies
Paper: Catherine Pooler White, Smoke and Mirrors
I used the little geo tag stamp and die to create a frame for the Love banner (which is designed to fit on the hot air balloon stamp included in the set).

OMG...your creativity is astounding! I especially love the second card. How did you ever come up with that idea?!!!
I love the second card! I'm a Stamp Junkie. I thought the new color was going to be yellow but apparently it is a hot pink.
Amazing cards Ardyth x
Wowsers... You are simply the best at thinking outside the box, or in this case, the postage-edge die. Who would have thought those sweet hearts would fit so well??!! And I'm calling the new mystery ink colour "bubble-gum" to myself, although it probably has more of a spa-like name, for reals. Thanks for explaining where the love-die comes from--I noticed it in a few other team-members cards. The peacock tails remind me of the old NBC icon. Super cute!
Fabulous cards! I love how you used the heart in the postage die border!
How creative are you! Love the postcard idea on the first one and the border on your second one! Peacock tail was so neat!
Love the "love" cards so colorful. thank you
Love your beautiful cards! Thanks for sharing your inspiration.
Great cards! I just love this SOA kit, I can't wait for it to become available.
Absolutely amazing, Adryth!! The second card with the hearts tucked into the postage stamp die border? Pure genius!!
HI, I’m new to your blog from Stamp Junkies. I absolutely love the way you’ve put the hearts up the side of your card.
No way! I love the ingenuity of the postage stamp die and the hearts. You are a master!
love The rainbow affect that you created on your cards.

Wow! Fantastic cards! Such a cute postcard!
LOVE! that second card with the hearts down the right is AMAZING!!!
All of your cards are fantastic, Ardyth! The Postcard card is just perfect for Valentine's Day. I love the multi colored hearts card and could be used for any happy occasion. The Peacock card is cute and I could see making it almost exactly like you have!
What a fun group of cards! Love your second card with the staggered hearts...great design!
Great cards! Love the rainbow!
Beautiful designs, love this collection. It is a must have for me.
All beautiful cards, Ardyth! But, you really wowed me with Rainbow Love. Using the postage die for an edge.....those lil hearts were meant to be. Clever! =)

Although rainbows always make me smile too. Fab cards tfs.
