Confetti Countdown - Love You Most & Patterned Hearts

Love is in the air with this release with Love You Most and Patterned Hearts! I have the whole Valentine theme going on with my projects today. First up, I made two square cards using the new Patterned Hearts. This stamp has 5 different patterned hearts and 5 sentiments with small adorable font!

For my first card, I stamped and embossed with clear embossing powder with 4 of the hearts using Piggy Bank, Flamingo, Rose and Salsa inks. I die cut the hearts with the smallest heart die in the Patterned Hearts Confetti Cuts. I used the Stitched Squares Confetti Cuts for my card panel and then placed the die cut hearts on the panel with foam tape. I white embossed the sentiment onto Midnight card stock and trimmed it down.

Next I did a 4 1/4 square card and used the Scalloped Square Frames Confetti Cuts. You are going to love the new patterned paper pad, From Cupid! This is one of my FAVORITES and is perfect for Valentines Day! I absolute love all the patterns in this paper pad and used one of my favorites from the pad for this next card.

I picked two papers and then die cut with the larger heart from Patterned Hearts Confetti Cuts from the center of the patterned square. I also die cut it from the front panel of the card base to create a peek a boo window for my stamped heart. I stamped the heart with Rose ink and then added my sentiment to the center flush with the heart.

Next up is Love You Most. This follows the Christmas Circles and Boo Yea Stamp Sets with the adorable circle sentiments. For my card, I used it as my sentiment and paired it with Patterned Hearts. You may notice a new Hex Cover Panel. The panel has stitching around the hex's and will cover an entire card base. I die cut the hearts from Patterned Hearts Confetti cuts from the die cut Hex Cover Panel to do some die cut inlay.

I inked blended a card panel with Wine, Magenta and Piggy Bank inks to layer behind the panel. I used the XOXO Hearts Confetti Cuts and inked some of the negative pieces with the Wine and Magenta inks. I die cut the sentiment from Love You Most with the Scalloped Bag & Tags Creator Confetti Cuts.

A tip for the Love You Most stamp set, to get the perfect placement with your stamping, die cut the cardstock before you stamp the image. I use my MISTI then and stamp the image onto scratch paper, then line up the negative cut and place my die cut circle and then stamp. This makes sure that you get the perfect placement each time. My go to stamping is always to stamp and then die cut but it works much better with this stamp set if you die cut and then stamp the image.

For my last project today, I could not finish out the Valentine theme without some chocolate! Reverse Confetti has some really cute mini clear boxes that you can fill and give as treats.

I simply cut some of the From Cupid patterned paper into strips and wrapped it around the box, added a ribbon and a quick tag made with the Scalloped Bag & Tags Creator Confetti Cuts. I used various card stock and inks in Salsa, Rose, Flamingo, Piggy Bank and Grape Soda.

Isn't this patterned paper From Cupid the cutest! I love Reverse Confetti Inks, they are so bright and stamp so cleanly. Here is a close up of the tags and patterned paper.

That is it for me today!
