Today I would like to share with you a creation which features Close To My Heart’s February Stamp of the Month – Here’s the Story (S2202). At first glance this stamp is very Memory Keeping Orientated. But I wanted to do something different. I love the brackets, and that “I love you most” sentiment. And the current Smitten paper pack (CC12217) begged to be added to that sentiment.

So I took some strips of the papers and the zip strips. I did a variety of edge distressing on the pieces – from tearing to expose the white core, to scraping with the out edge of my scissors, and even the old CTMH edge distressing tool. I stamped the sentiment and bracket, and then fussy cut them. Raising it up with foam tape. Some Gold Embellishment Thread (Z4054) and some black acrylic hearts (Z6014) to finish off.

This exclusive D-size Here’s The Story stamp set (only available in February) can be yours for just $9, when you place an order of $80 or more! OR FREE for VIP Customers with qualifying order of $80.

Happy Crafting
