Loads of Love......

 Hello everyone: I'm always hoping and praying you and your families are doing well, keeping each other healthy and safe.

*************************************

I found this new (to me) challenge out there in blog land, it's called "Stampin' Up! Only Challenge" and I think it's great!!  Stampin' Up! was the very first stamp company I came in contact with back in 2008 or 2009 (if I recall correctly) and my first demonstrator was, and still is, Mary Fish.

So I have this card I made with a really sweet set that I'm sure some of you will recognize, I should use it more often.


I struggled a little bit about what sentiment to add to the front of my card, but I decided to just let the image speak for me, I think adding a sentiment would have cluttered the panel.

*************************************
This is the inside.


And this is what I used.

Stampin' Up! "Loads of Love" (2004 Mini Catalog)

Stampin' Up! "Free as a Bird" (2019-2020 Annual Catalog)

I want to play with:

Stampin' Up! Only Challenges


Double D Challenges: Hearts



Thank you for visiting me today and for your comments.

Please stay healthy and safe.

XO
Maria.

This is such a cute image! I love the 'postage stamp' type border for your image panel and your sweet soft background sky. Just lovely. I often leave my cards without a sentiment. Thanks for sharing this with us at The paper Shelter!

I sure do recognize this set. It was probably one of SU's most popular sets ever. I don't know if it's still current, but I do know that it's as cute as ever and will never go out of style. Darling card, Maria!

I think you were absolutely right--that truck speaks for itself on the card front. No sentiment needed. I love that vintage truck. It is exactly what my 17 year old son is looking for. :) The tires are the first thing that jumped out at me. Can you share exactly how you created them? Thanks

Very happy you found our challenge, Maria! :) It's always so fun to see an old favorite stamp set again--I still have Loads of Love in my collection. Such a cute Valentine! Thanks for playing along with us at SUO Challenges!
