Countdown to Confetti - Big Bear & Heart Pals

Welcome to day two of the Countdown for the January Reverse Confetti Release! I love the two new Dawn Machel stamp sets that we are showcasing today! They are both adorably sweet!

First up, Heart Pals, which is just simply adorable stamp set! I stamped my images onto Polar White card stock and colored with my Copic markers. For my first card, I used the new Diagonal Stitches Cover Panel for my card panel.

It adds such great detail with the stitching and covers an A2 card panel perfectly. I topped it with Falling Hearts Panel Confetti Cuts using Rose card stock. I added some hearts using Piggy Bank, Flamingo and Salsa card stock with the XOXO Hearts Confetti Cuts. I added a sentiment from the stamp set on Midnight card stock.

For my next card, I used the Hex Cover Panel for the background and some patterned paper From Cupid paper pad. I added a die cut heart from Patterned Hearts Confetti Cuts. The heart was cut from Rose card stock and then an Iced Aqua white embossed sentiment was added. I love that the Hex Cover Panel provides a scattering of cut out hexagons with stitching around.

This card came together super quickly and could be easily recreated in mass for Valentine's Day. I added some Crystal Glaze to the heart ballots for a little more sparkle and shine. I love how the Heart Pals Confetti Cuts trims out the extra details in the stamped images. See the little cut out below the balloons? I added some small details with my white gel pen.

Next up, I used Big Bear stamp set along with the matching Confetti Cuts. Instead of using my go to Copic markers, I pulled out my Zig markers and watercolored my images. The Big Bear Confetti Cuts had some of those additional details added in that allow you to put the different accessories into the bears hands. See the picture below of the Big Bear Confetti Cuts.

I used the Hex Cover Panel again and used some more of the patterned paper From Cupid to peek thru the hexagons. I decided to do a die cut inlay and die cut a circle from Boo to You Confetti Cuts and then ink blended with one of my favorite color combinations: Lagoon and Iced Aqua inks.

I added a sentiment stamped onto Midnight card stock. Some aqua jewels were added for extra sparkle and I covered the die cut heart from Big Bear with crystal glaze. See how the flower bundle fits underneath the hands of the bear. I LOVE these extra details with the Big Bear Confetti Cuts!

The From Cupid patterned paper has been one of my favorite patterned paper pads. I love this black and white geometric paper.
