Item Description

Detailed Description

This item includes 2
imperforated no die cut stamps as shown in the picture.

Combining artistic vision with a
symbol of undying affection, the 2015 Forever Hearts stamps beautifully depict
the ancient association between eternal love and the heart.

Lacy lettering in the shape of a
heart spells out the word “Forever” on two stamps. One design features red
lettering on a white background; the other is reversed, with white lettering on
a field of red.

Artist Jessica Hische created the
lettering that forms the heart, first drawing her design by hand and then
finishing the stamp art digitally. The red and white color scheme works well
with other colors and adds a timeless feel to the design, which resembles
filigree.

A religious symbol, a motif in art,
an expression of affection or support-today the heart is everywhere, not only
at Valentine’s Day but also year-round. It signifies romantic love as well as
love of people, places, or ideas. In the 1970s, a campaign to increase tourism
in New York famously substituted the heart symbol for the word “love” in its
slogan, a trademarked logo that spawned imitations around the world. Scores of
businesses and organizations use the heart as part of their logos. Heart
designs are carved onto furniture, etched onto jewelry, sewn into quilt
patterns, and fashioned into sculpture. In February, the heart is found on
everything from cookies to cards to kids’ clothes.

The traditional colors of red and
white would be appropriate for valentines, wedding invitations, baby
announcements, anniversary cards, party invites, or any occasion that calls for
a classic, timeless stamp.

Art
director Antonio Alcalá and artist Jessica Hische designed the stamps.
