I just LOVE this stamp set!  The first thing that came to mind was to use it for anniversary cards because I make quite a few of those each year but I haven’t made it that far yet.  Right now I am focusing on my layouts so that’s what I created.  I made a heart border along the bottom of my page.  My decorative hearts are dimensional elements sponged with pink ink and then I used the heart stamp on top in chocolate ink to create a pattern.  I stamped the title 3 times to make the image darker and stand out on the patterned paper.  I really struggled with the embellishments for this page, not sure why.  In the end, I’m not in love with it but satisfied.  I took that last picture as a closeup of the title area on my layout but after uploading it I can see that it would make a great card so there’s another idea for you!
