Simon Says Stamp Heart to Heart Release Blog Hop - Day 2

I'm so happy to be participating in day 2 of the Simon Says Stamp Heart to Heart blog hop. I hope you get some inspiration and enjoy the giveaway and a special offer👇👇👇 for this blog hop.  
This first project I have created features the Tons of Hearts dies. I cut 4 consecutive sizes of hearts from white, red, pink and glitter cardstock and layered them on top of each other. I filled the front of a gray cardstock panel I cut from a stitched rectangle die.
I added the panel of gray cardstock with the hearts on to an A2 size card base made from white cardstock. I stamped a sentiment in red ink on to more white cardstock and used the coordinating die to cut it out and add between one of the row of hearts.
The second project is super fun. This card features the Toaster Pastry die and Groovy Wishes stamp. I cut the pastry from white cardstock and ink blended the edges with distress ink for that "toasted" look. The frosting was cut from pink cardstock and again I added distress ink for the toasted look. I cut the white swirl and hearts to add on top.
I stamped the sentiment in red ink and heat set with clear embossing ink for a bit of shine. I glue that to the toaster pastry and added everything to a panel of pattern paper I had in my stash. It all fit on an A2 size card base to leave a white border.
Simon is giving away a $25 shopping spree to a lucky winner! The winner will be picked from the comments left along the hop and announced Wednesday, January 14th on the Simon blog.

    Layers upon layers of hearts for the win. Nothing says Valentines or Love like hearts & your card with oh so many layered hearts is absolutely wonderful. A little red, a little pink & a little sparkle for the win. Your Toaster Pastry card is so, so sweet, in a paper pastry kind of way.
