Let's Play a Love Game

 Lady Gaga's catchiest song is easily "Love Game", it also happens to be the name of this darling set from Concord and 9th, perfect for your Valentine's cards! (Are you impressed with my transition skills?)


Can I tell you how excited I was when I realized my favorite childhood game was also a stamp/die set?! I was, and still am, a Connect 4 master. I am thrilled that extra-large-lawn-game-size Connect 4s are slowly infiltrating bars and backyards across the country. It's finally my time to shine :)


I did "play" Connect 4 while putting these little heart dies onto the card. These are my easiest ways to win, but I still won! Anyways, I really only used the dies and stamps included in the Love Game Bundle. The very punny sentiment is stamped with Wildberry ink, and all cardstocks used are from C9 as well.


The same Love Game Bundle includes this fun word search! My mom absolutely loves word searches, she does some every single day, so making this card definitely reminded me of her. The C9 inks I used for this card are Ballet Slipper, Grapefruit, and Creamsicle.


This card uses C9 inks Sprout, Harbor, and Eucalyptus. I thought highlighting the sentiment was a fun way to tie the card together to the word search theme.
