It’s our final day of the Papertrey Ink December Countdown and today is full of such pretty, pretty products and versatile, new goodies for your craft stash. Introducing the new Happy Hearts Stencil Collection and Lots of Hugs stamp set and dies. Let’s jump right in!
I am smitten with the new Happy Hearts Stencil Collection. It is a delightful two-step stencil set that allows you to create multi-colored hearts. Our designers have really used these in such fun ways…just wait until you see! I used Lovely Lady and Autumn Rose ink to create my background using these stencils. After stenciling, I ran my block of cardstock through my die cut machine using the Border Bling: Skinny Embossed Frames.
I used the Show Your Stripes Stencils to created contrasting stripes across the bottom of my card and then started layering on the different elements. I began with the Love to Layer: Hearts, die cutting the largest die from Sweet Blush cardstock and the next layer from white cardstock. I stamped the first part of my sentiment from the Lots of Hugs stamp set in Scarlet Jewel in the upper right corner of the heart, followed by die cut “hugs”.
Every heart needs flowers to compliment it, so I added in blooms from the new Vase Collection 14, heat embossing in white over Autumn Rose cardstock. I then added blooms from the Flourishing Florals stamp set. I added gold leaves, cut using the Into the Blooms: Dahlia dies and a tiny bow, cut using the Bows Galore die.
