Introducing Heart-2-Heart #7 & Happy Haunting - Day 1

It's time for another Papertrey Ink countdown! Welcome everyone! I have two new sets that will be released this month...the next set in the Heart-2-Heart series and a cute Halloween set that features monsters and ghosts!

Up first... 

Heart-2-Heart #7

• features 10 images - 2 flowers, 2 flower stems, 3 leaves, 1 heart, 2 sentiments
• will retail for $5
• will be available for purchase starting August 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has coordinating dies

 

As you can see the dies for this set come all connected. I personally like them that way but you could easily separate them if you wanted.

Having them all connected makes it super fast and easy to create multiple die cut images at once and leaves you with a bunch of pieces to work with! These were all stamped with the Heart-2-Heart #7 images in Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Hibiscus and Spring Moss.

I used a few of those pieces for this first card. There are 3 sets of leaves....all different patterns and sizes. I miss you is from Heart-2-Heart #7 and 'sweet friend' is from Heart-2-Heart #4. I used a strip of Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper along the side and then added two strips of Hibiscus that I glittered.

 
 

Using some of those die cut leaves I created this next card. I attached the leaves along the side to create a colorful pattern and then added my sentiment...both are from Heart-2-Heart #7.  A few rhinestones and a button finish it off.

For this last H-2-H card I created something sweet and simple. I created the letters using the Upper Block Alphabet die collection and simple replaced the 'O' with one of my die cut flowers and leaves.

 

Next up.. 

Happy Haunting

• features 27 images - 1 outlined ghost/monster image, 1 solid ghost/monster image, 11 sets of eyes, 10 mouths, 4 sentiments
• will retail for $15
• will be available for purchase starting August 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has a coordinating die

 

There are soooo many mixing options in this set. Today I'm just showing you a few of the possibilities for monsters and ghosts. All of the sentiments are also from Happy Haunting! 

I will have so much more to share with using both of these new sets over the next 4 days. These ladies will also be sharing projects with you today ....

Such cute cards! I'm excited about the new Heart-2-Heart. Thanks for showing the circles pattern you made with the leaves - I was wondering if that might work, and it does! Very nice.

[Connie]

I absolutely love your clean and simple style. Great cards!

Love the new Heart-2-Heart images and dies! Wasn't sure about the Happy Haunting set until I saw your cards - now I'm hooked. Can't wait to see more.

Great sets Melissa. I love the way you used the 2 leaves together as a pattern for your card, brilliant! Can't wait to see more.

[Gina]

Melissa, I love the Happy Haunting set!! This is one of the August release sets that I am most excited about. And...is that a die that goes with him?! If so, squeal!!

[Jana]

I adore these Heart-2-Heart sets!

[Marcie Rhys]

What a fabulous designer you are! Your small stamp sets have more potential than other folks' big honking sets. I've liked all your small yearly themed sets, but your Heart 2 Heart sets are my favorites! I have nearly all of them. Thank you too for making all these sets so versatile that they work with each other - even the ones from different years.

[Wendy ten Hove]

These make me happy, Melissa! Even the monsters are fun and adorable!! Perfect!
Hugs, Wendy

Such delightful cards, Melissa! Brilliant geometric pattern on the second card - love the turned down corner with the button :)

The CAS word art card is so very pretty - LOVE!!!

[Gabby]

Congrats on two more great sets, Mel! Love the new Heart 2 Heart. All of these sample cards are terrific. Love the creative way you have used the die cuts. Sweet! Halloween is my fav holiday and I adore your little ghosts! I think you could use the little "monsters" for many occasions. TFS these great cards. :)

[Jill Norwood]

Two more wonderful sets! Can't wait to see more over the course of the release! Love the cards you made for this post especially the unique circles made with the double leaf dies and stamps! Brilliant my dear!!!!

[Sherry in MI]

Mel, you clever girl, you! Using the Heart-
2-Heart #7 leaves to make those darling
little circles! What a sensational card!
And your little ghosties are just too cute.
I have two grand nephews who will be getting
little ghost cards for Halloween, for sure!

[Donna Bowman]

Super cute!! Love the cute flowers and ghosts!

[Helen LeBrett]

I love the color combo and the arrangement of your first card, and what you did with the leaves on the second card: brilliant!! I'm going to have to try that one for sure :-)
