January New Release Blog Hop Day 3

Welcome back for Day 3 of our January New Release Blog Hop!

This being our third release day, I usually just share the images of the new items we released but I encourage you to visit our site or even my Day 1 and Day 2 posts to read all about our new items.

How about a few more projects for today?

I've had SO MUCH fun with the new Perfect Pairs 2 and digging out the previously released set of Perfect Pairs Stamps!

I wanted to show you how nicely our new Radiating Love Heart Die works on a 4.25" square card base. It fits perfectly!  Here I started with a pink base and die cut it first with the main die in the set and then again with the heart die in the set to make a window to the inside of my card. Then, I stamped, colored and die cut this milk & cookies pair (HOW CUTE ARE THESE?) and put them on the inside of the card, but added a sentiment to the outside on a piece of kraft card stock.

Here's a picture of the inside where I used more sentiments to complete my greeting. Squuueee!!! I love these little guys!!!

With this card, I started with a white base which I ink blended with pinks. Then, I laid a white piece over top that's been cut with both our Forever Heart Layer 1 and Forever Heart Layer 2 Dies. To create my focal pieces, I stamped, colored and die cut this cutie couple using the Perfect Pairs 2 Stamps and Dies. I finished the sentiment by using the forever word die from the Forever Heart Layer 1 and heat embossed the friends word from the Perfect Pairs Additions Stamps. Cute, right?

One more project using my favorite couples. This time I used the original Perfect Pairs Stamps and Dies and the new Perfect Pairs Additions Stamps. I started with a white card base on which I did some ink blending. When I was done, I used my Radiating Love Heart Die on the front. I wanted to give my couple an oversized base to sit on so the heart you see here is actually from our Dual Stitched Heart and Kisses Word Die Set which I was thrilled fit perfectly. The rest is simple including the white splotches I made with watered down paint.

I saved this one for last because as it turns out I am in LOOOOOOOVE WITH THIS so I feel like I saved the best for last.  I had this teal card base cut and stamped from our last release using the Cozy Plaid Stamps and I didn't get around to using it so I thought it would make a great holder for my cocoa packet and peppermint spoon. I turned the card base upside down and cut it down with my Dual Dotted Border Builders Die and stuck my treats inside and wrapped it with this great ribbon I had. I create my focal image, I used our new Bear Hugger Die & Stamp Bundle which I die cut from white card stock. I wanted to make this into a panda so I used the panda face stamp and stamped his belly with the big hugs stamp. To give him more of a panda look, I colored his arms, ears and feet with a black copic marker.
Since I wanted to use my bear as a focal image and not as a treat holder I decided to trim down his arms. I was inspired by a project that Heather Hoffman created and shared with my prior to this release. Here's a picture of how I trimmed his arms down with my circle punch tool.

One more look at this! I'm going to send it to a friend who's had a difficult 2019 so far. I hope this will cheer her up!
