Ink to Paper :: December Release :: Day 3

It's Friday--I'm in love!  There are gorgeous new sets to look at today on Day 3 of the Ink to Paper December release--a few more hearts and a lot of love is coming your way!

I pulled out the Raspberry Fizz to use on both of my cards for today's introductions.  It's funny how color phases come and go (at least for me).  I used to use RF on practically every project I ever made...and then my usage slowly tapered off until I stopped using it altogether in favor of Sweet Blush.  Now I use SB on nearly everything, but I'm slowly seeing RF coming back into play.  So the moral of the story is: HOARD EVERYTHING and NEVER THROW ANYTHING AWAY!!!

I digress...First up, take a peek at these pretty, design-filled hearts in I Heart You.  I cut out the detailed hearts and left the cuts in place (just taped in place on the back of each heart so they don't fall out).  I stamped and embossed a couple of smaller hearts, too, then arranged the group in overlapping waves.

My 'love' sentiment is part of the To Die For: Love die collection (which you NEED in your life!), cut from pale pink glitter cardstock.  I added a cute little phrase, 'love is in the air' which is part of the mini Just Sentiments: Valentine set.  I love the pairing of the pinks with the Dark Indigo patterned paper.  Both of today's cards feature bold color pairings.

Supplies:

Stamps: I Heart You, Just Sentiments: Valentine

Ink: Watermark

Paper: Raspberry Fizz, Sweet Blush, pink glitter cardstock, Dark Indigo Bitty Big

Dies: I Heart You, To Die For: Love

Other: rose gold embossing powder

Next up is On the Border: From the Heart, of which I used the beautiful, large center heart as my focal point.  The center heart cuts 3 different pieces; I used the inner and outer ones in Raspberry Fizz, and layered them on a full heart of pink glitter paper so the middle frame shows through as pink sparkles.

'Love', 'Heart', and 'You' are the chosen words in the To Die For: Love dies.  This series has become one of my favorite die sets and I love to use them!   I paired the 'you' with a heat embossed 'are my favorite' from I Heart You, masking off the 'you' that's a part of it and replacing them with a couple of small hearts from All About You.

Supplies:

Stamps: I Heart You

Ink: watermark

Paper: Raspberry Fizz, Sweet Blush, Lilac Grace, pink glitter cardstock, Honey Nut Bitty Big

Dies: On the Border: From the Heart, To Die For: Love, Banner Builder: Basics, I Heart You, All About You
