Introducing Happy Hearts...
Papertrey December Release Wrap Up...

Love is in the details...

It's group post #2 for the December Papertrey Ink countdown.  Today the team is featuring all sorts of love-themed projects, focusing on many of the new dies being released this month, along with several of the new stamp sets.  There are so many great new things!  Everything I mention in new in this post will be available for purchase on December 15th from the Papertrey Ink site.

Nichole challenged us to create a Valentine's project, an anniversary card, and a wedding card.

Let's start with the Valentine project.  I used the new Valentine Stitches dies to create a fun and trendy bracelet which is complete with coordinating packaging, which I created using the Boutique Accessories dies and stamps.

Arrow-bracelet

I diecut the arrow from the Valentine Stitches die set from wood veneer.  I then stitched it with some bright colored embroidery floss, even incorporating some neon colors.  To give the Boutique Accessory card a little valentine flair, I diecut one of the new Limitless Layers: Heart Stitches dies on the front of the card.

To turn my stitched arrow into a bracelet I attached it to a bit of gold chain, which was a necklace I picked up at a garage sale last summer with the intent of creating something with it...this was the perfect chance! I could see this being the perfect little Valentine treat for a teen or tween girl.

Now let's move on to my wedding themed projects.  I used the new Limitless Layers: Heart Stitches dies to create some dimensional hearts on both a card and coordinating tag.

White wedding 2

I kept my color palette very wedding-like with just white and gold. For the inside of the hearts I diecut some gold foil cardstock and added a bit of texture with the Woodgrain Impression Plate.  Notice that new tag shape?  Yes, that's the new Tag Sale #9.  I diecut the bottom layer from white cardstock and the smaller top layer was cut from vellum for a pretty, soft layered look.

For the card I used more of the Limitless Layers: Heart Stitches dies.  I added some twine and a few leaf and flower diecuts from the new The Best Is Yet To Be set.

Now for my anniversary project.  I don't usually think of hearts being masculine, but they can go that way when they're cut from wood veneer and corrugate.  I used the Limitless Layers: Heart Stitching dies here once again.

Rustic-Love

I stamped on the wood veneer with dark chocolate ink and it almost resembles wood-burning.  Just a quick and easy card.
