Here is a couple of projects I made using goodies from the new release. 

I wanted a fun background to feature the new Fancy Love You die so I made my own valentine's plaid using distress ink. I used the inks as watercolors on watercolor cardstock. I used three sizes of paintbrushes and white gel pen to create thin white lines.

I then die cut the Fancy Love You from silver cardstock and the shadow from white cardstock. I also die cut a frame from silver cardstock as well. The sub-sentiment was stamped with clear embossing ink and heat set using white embossing powder. I die cut a few hearts from the Love Ya tag from more silver cardstock and added them to the card as accents.

The next card I made features the SweetHeart die. Again, I wanted a fun background to showcase this die.

I masked off an area on a stitched die cut rectangle cut from white cardstock. Using Mocha and Cappuccino Pawsitively Saturated ink and a heart stencil to create a fun background. I added some red jewels for a bit of sparkle.

I die cut the Sweetheart from red metallic cardstock. I die cut it twice from thick white cardstock to add thickness with liquid glue. I then stamped the sub-sentiment from Printmaking Hearts stamp set.
