XOXO! by Jeanne Jachna

Hi Friends! I hope you’re doing well! Now more than ever I love sending cards to family and friends to remind them that I’m thinking of them. Each holiday is an excuse to make a card and send a paper hug through the mail.

This month my mind is on Valentine’s Day. Cards aren’t just for my sweetie or for the classroom exchange, they’re an expression of love and friendship for all.

The Simple Stories Sweet Talk Collection keeps it light with punny sentiments and cute characters that are sure to make you smile. I love the traditional red and pink colors with the addition of some unexpected aqua blue.

These cards are perfect for just about anyone. You can customize each for the different personalities in your life. How about one to surprise a friend at work. Maybe you know a choc-a-holic? Or how about including an invite for some Chinese take out and an at home movie?

This collection is available in 12” or 6x8” papers. I like the smaller format for cards because the print size is slightly smaller. The pad includes 3x4” journaling cards and is perfect for smaller size projects.

The collection includes lots of different printed die cut pieces in their Bits & Pieces, Journal Bits & Pieces and chipboard. The Bits and Pieces pack include lots of cute images, while the Journal Bits & Pieces are The collection includes lots of printed die cut images including Bits and Pieces cute images, and Journal Bits and Pieces perfect for adding personal notes, and sentiments. I like to use the Journal Bits & Pieces to break up the patterned paper backgrounds and create a focal point for the images.

The chipboard sheet includes sentiments and images that are printed on THICK chipboard to add dimension to your designs. They have an adhesive backing making them easy to add to your projects.

Because the details make all the difference, Simple Stories has you covered. This collection includes washi, enamel dots AND decorative brads. The brads are total eye candy.. metal bezels with shiny centers with sticker backs (no prongs) .
