All the products I am showing this week will be available December 15th at 10 PM EST.

Up first is Love in Bloom Stamps and Die. This sweet heart image is created by layering several different images together. I love the depth created with the open and solid flowers. There are so many stamping possibilities! Not only with color combinations, but also imagine adding heat embossing with gold or silver!

I found it easiest to die cut the image first, then stamp. Each stamp has one portion of the image that lines up with the outside edge of the die cut. Easy peasy! I think the toughest part of this card was choosing colors! Ha!

I scored the card base with stripes. Foam mounted the heart to the card. I stamped one of the sentiments from Love Blooms onto white card stock and then trimmed it into a little banner. This card is perfect for a wedding or a wedding shower!

Oh, and I added more shine to this card with Nuvo Glitter Drops. The White Blizzard color I used here, brings out the ink color underneath. Such a cool effect!

Next up, we are moving more into the season of love! Perfect Match Stamps and Dies create some unique and fun Valentine's Day cards and other projects! For these cute boxes of cinnamon candies, I used the Matchbox Die. I created a clear cover for the box with acetate and then tied the boxes closed with twine and these adorable tags!

I stamped the match bases and die cut them with their coordinating die. I repeated the same process for the flame and adhered them to the match tops. How adorable is that heart center on the flames??! Such a sweet finishing touch!

On this tag, I added a die cut heart. Again, a super thoughtful finish to the project! One of the things I love most about this set is how well put together it is-tons of details and options that all work together!

The sentiment on the tags is also from Perfect Match. I stamped it in black to make it pop, but I am thinking that red might have been more fun! :D To make the tags, I used more new dies being released this month; Nesting Basics-Circles and Nesting Basics-Pierced Circles. I love how they layer together! And that little detail inside the circle is fab!

Please note that Nesting Basics-Pierced Circles do not cut circles, they are meant to be layered inside the Circles. They only create the small piercing holes.

See you again tomorrow! :D
