Lots of fun things going on over at Papertrey Ink. We are just about to unveil all of our projects created with the new release stamp sets...but until then, Nichole challenged us to create something for a sweetheart in our life using one of the new stamp sets....designed around....you guessed it, Valentine's Day. Here is my project using the Papertrey Ink Large clear top heart tin, and small heart tins. You'll also get a peek at Nichole's new paper line coming out this month as well as the Love Songs stamp set designed by Lisa Johnson. I created this gift with little Miss Bean herself in mind. I love making and buying sweet girlie bows for her, and thought is would be fun to use some of the beautiful Papertrey ribbon to create some just for her. I used new Raspberry Fizz ribbon here along with Vintage Cream, Sweet Blush, and Aqua Mist. I cut the felt flower centers using my Cuttlebug machine and dies.
I fit the individual small heart tins full of bows right inside the large tin and created a matching card to finish it off.
And a few peeks at the actual bows...
Be sure to check out Nichole's blog for oodles of ideas for Valentine's Day from Nichole herself and all of the other designers.
Now....a few Christmas Cheer giveaways to share with you.
Linda Albrecht has one on her beautiful blog as well as some amazing, amazing creations.
And, my friend Ranjini also has a giveaway on her blog....you'll have to stay there a good long while as her blog is one of my favorites...so beautiful.
Enjoy your weekend.

Ooh, serious eye strain tring to read the part of the circular sentiment that is covered up. Super darling project. I love how you nested the small tins inside the big one.

This is such a sweet, fun idea! The bows are gorgeous and it looks like her beautiful hair is the perfect place for them:)

How sweet is this! I love it. Such a great idea! By the way, I had a fun night crafting across the table from Debby Schuh! We got to catch up on things while stamping away. Have a nice weekend!
