Day 1 of this months Papertrey Ink countdown has arrived and I'm looking forward to sharing my projects with you over the next five days. I have two sets coming out this month but for today I'm going to focus on the newest addition to the Heart-2-Heart series.
- features 7 images - 4 patterned hearts, 1 small solid heart and 2 sentiments
- will retail for $5
- will be available for purchase starting April 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
- has a coordinating heart die
I decided to make a sweet little set of thank you cards...keeping each one simple with not a lot of extra embellishing or bling. I started by die cutting a bunch of hearts using the coordinating heart die and then stamped each one with the hearts in the Heart-2-Heart #3 set. Notice the patterns on the hearts...yup, they coordinate with both Heart-2-Heart #1 and Heart-2-Heart #2 which makes using all of these little sets that much more versatile! :)
- Raspberry Fizz cardbase
- Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise & Raspberry Fizz hearts
- Summer Sunrise polka dot ribbon
- Hawaiian Shores cardbase
- Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise & Hawaiian Shores hearts
- Summer Sunrise polka dot ribbon
- Summer Sunrise cardbase
- Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz & Summer Sunrise hearts
- Raspberry Fizz saddle stitch ribbon

- Hawaiian Shores grosgrain ribbon
- Hawaiian Shores cardbase
- Summer Sunrise, Raspberry Fizz & Hawaiian Shores hearts
- Raspberry Fizz saddle stitch ribbon
- Summer Sunrise cardbase
- Raspberry Fizz, Hawaiian Shores & Summer Sunrise hearts
- Hawaiian Shores grosgrain ribbon
Each of the cards were stamped with both sentiments in the set...'Thank you' and 'Your thoughtfulness touches my heart!'. A doily in the corner gives each one that little something extra!
This is just the beginning of the countdown. I'll be back tomorrow with projects using the second set I have being released this month, the birdies. Think 'tweet'! ;) You can get a peek of it today by checking what Nichole and Betsy have to share!
Have a wonderful day everyone and be sure to pop in and visit these ladies...
See you tomorrow!
So lively, so happy so you, Melissa!! Gorgeous cards:)

Melissa you are a genius! This newest set is so fun and I didn't notice until you mentioned the theme from set to set. So so versatile, cute and useful. I really like that you made a card set, I find your $5 sets are perfect for making card sets, again so useful. Did you know that when I check out the countdown posts I always make sure I open yours last so that I can really savour it. LOL Looking forward to the rest of your previews.

Just dandy, Melis ~ love the bright and cheery colors and how different each one looks with a change of card base and ribbon. What's not to love about hearts?
