Bloomin’ Heart Thinlit Frame

Bloomin' Love.1215Hello!  Once again I’m back from the MN Homeland.   We had nice visits with family and friends but are now ready to get 2016 rolling.

Today’s project is one I made for a  gift exchange at our team gathering in December.  It turned out pretty cute if I do say so myself!  🙂

I used a couple brand new products as well as a product that was new to the Holiday Catalog.  Many of you know that PINK is my favorite color….especially Melon Mambo.  Soft pinks are nice but give me a bright bold one!  However….when I saw this Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper I did fall in love.  It’s so sparkly!

The Bloomin’ Heart Thinlit Die is very intricate but oh, so beautiful!  With an intricate die like this there are definitely two products that will make your life a lot easier.  The first is the Precision Base Plate and the brand new Big Shot Die Brush.  Yes, I know that I didn’t like the Precision Base Plate when I first used it but it works so well with the Big Shot Die Brush.  I’m not going to say a lot more about the Big Shot Die Brush because that’s going to be tomorrow’s post!  Tune in then to get the scoop on this FABULOUS new tool!  You’re definitely going to want one!

I love the way the white background piece makes my Bloomin’ Heart pop.  I don’t think it would have had quite the impact without using the Curvy Corner Trio Punch on the corners (or the Rhinestone Jewels!).

I was actually looking for a 6″ x 6″ frame for this project but ended up with an 8″ x 8″.  It worked out well because it gave me more room for the Glimmer Paper!  🙂

Have a great day!  Take care and Happy Stamping!
