New Hope Love & Joy stamp set - Shaker cards

 

Take a look at a fun new stamp set called Hope Love & Joy! I think this is such a fun new set and I really like the many ways to use it.  You can switch out the 'O' from the words and use the various images in it's place.  The words have an Advent feel to them, so this would be a nice Christmas set too.  The praying hands or support ribbon are good to use to send encouragement to someone going through an illness. 

  I opted to go with a Shaker Card for my first card with this set and with Valentine's Day so close at hand, I used the Love sentiment with the Heart dies.  Also releasing this month is a new Valentine's Day Designer Series Paper pack and some super cute Loose Valentine's Assortment shaker elements. 

 

  There are so many new fun products releasing tomorrow, so you will want to be sure to check the new January to April mini catalog release, the new Online Exclusives release as well as the 3 new kits being released!                                                                                                                  

 

                                         

For this card I used Bubble Bath for the main card base.  I used a pretty pattern from the Made with Love designer series paper for the background and an accent piece of wood grain patterned paper from the Country Woods designer series paper. Next I layered some Strawberry Slush Ribbon on the wood paper. 

I stamped the main sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink and Strawberry Slush. 

After cutting out the heart with the die, I used a window sheet and some Foam Adhesive Strips to create the shaker element. I have a full how to with tips for this card on my YouTube Channel. 

  

 

 

 

 

For this next version I used a pattern from the Florals In Bloom designer series paper pack on a Strawberry Slush card base. I also opted to use a warmer wood tone pattern from the Country Woods designer series paper pack. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I added some additional Loose Valentine's Assortment pieces to the front of the card as well.
