If you're hopping with us today, you will have come from the amazing Erica A-B! She's so colorful and always puts a smile on my face.

The January kit is all about LOVE with Valentine's Day right around the corner, it celebrates the "perfect match". The centerpiece of this kit is dies which create a faux matchbox, which lies flat on your card or project and can be decorated and filled with the numerous stamps and dies included in the kit

You can use the images on their own, build repeating patterns, or add them to planner pages, journals, and more! There is a beautiful stencil included, perfect for backgrounds or mixed media and the kit is rounded out with a pack of fun heart-themed sequins and five sheets of gorgeous cardstock.

I'm thrilled to be joining the blog hop today and I'm sure you're going to see so many amazing cards and projects with the January release.

I fell in love with a couple of the items from the kit and decided to make a trio of cards, perfect for Valentine's Day! I focused on the LOVE die from the kit and added just a few other kit items to complete these sweet cards. 
The idea was to make something relatively quick and that could be batch made AND personalized. These designs are definitely something you can do with the kids, and are super fun to make!

First, die cut the love sentiment into a piece of white card 3.5"x 4.75" 5 times as shown below, leaving a gap top center. Next use Hero Arts Pink Liquid Watercolor on a piece of watercolor card and trim it to 4" x 5.25". 
Now, cut the envelope out of your watercolored panel, right in the middle - this saves on supplies as you don't have to color extra card. To add a few details, die cut the envelope again in white and pink, trim and adhere. 
Assemble your pieces onto an A2 card base. Beautiful, right?!
The second card has a slight variation but is still themed the same. This time we used Purple, and that awesome gummy bear stamp and die!

First, die cut the love sentiment into a piece of white card 3.5"x 4.75" 5 times as shown above, leaving a gap bottom left. Next use Hero Arts Purple Liquid Watercolor on a piece of watercolor card and trim it to 3.5"x 4.75". 
Stamp out the gummy bear from the kit and color it with Copic Markers, BV00, BV02, and BV04, then die cut. Stamp the word, 'sending' from the kit and trim it to size. Assemble your pieces onto an A2 card base. How adorable are those gummy bears?!

For my third themed card, we've gone with teal, a gummy bear, and some beautiful little hearts - so sweet!

First, die cut the love sentiment into a piece of white card 3.5"x 4.75" 4 times as shown above, leaving a gap down the center. Next use Hero Arts Teal Liquid Watercolor on a piece of watercolor card and trim it to 3.5"x 4.75". 
Stamp out the gummy bear from the kit and color it with Copic Markers, BG11, BG13, and BG49, then die cut. Stamp the word, 'filled' from the kit and trim it to size. 
Die cut some of the hearts from the kit in a teal-colored card. Trim a piece of teal card 3.75"x5". Assemble your pieces onto an A2 card base.

I can't get enough of this kit, it's awesome and there are so many ways to use it, I've barely touched the surface. 

I'm thrilled to be joining the blog hop today and I'm sure you're going to see so many amazing cards and projects with the January release. Thank you for taking the time to stop by, I really have had fun making cards, and have a few more projects to share throughout the month - one being a really cool 3D project!
