~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I believe my FAVORITE part of the "Perfect Match" collection are the NEW, mini hearts!  You can use them as confetti, glue them on your project as individual shapesor use them in WHATEVER way your think! 

I chose to use them as Confetti...take a look at the fun card I created.  

This card was inspired by a Card Workshop that is available for us as CTMH Makers.  However, I wanted to turn it into a "shaker" type card & decided to do just that. :)

I didn't have a place to "attach" a shaker...so I decided to use our 3x4 Flip Flaps and make a SHAKER card this way!!  What FUN!!

If you take a look at the Mini Hearts ---you'll notice there are 5 colors of hearts.  

I chose to only use 3 of those colors----PLUS----do you see the Iridescent flower shapes?? I added those inside the Flip Flap to give it some sparkle & shine too!! 

For the inside of the card --- I used one of our 12x12 Stencils from our Design 1 collection! Take a look at the subtle HEART design on my card.  

Our stencils are 12x12 and clear, plastic stencils (as you can see another set of stencil designs in the colored photo here) 

By using my Mint ink & a blending tool, I was able to create a subtle background on the inside of the card! 

I loved using the Fancy Border Thin Cuts for the top & bottom part of the card front. 

Look at that beautiful detail on the designer paper! 

Here's a closer look at the ballerina Glitter paper used to "hang" in the stamped hearts.  I used Flamingo, Mint & Ballerina inks. 

The "Perfect Match" stamp set --is the perfect (LOL!) companion to this collection!  I had only used a few stamps on the front of the card...so I wanted to incorporate a few more. 

I needed a place to write something...so we created this simple stamping on the backside. 

 Here's a look at the stamp set. 

Thanks for stopping by today & I hope you were INSPIRED to create something of you own! 

Now it's time to "Hop" on over to Brenda's Blog to see her beautiful creation!
