Today is release day at the Not 2 Shabby Shop. I am excited for this Valentines Day release because there are so many cute things! To kick off release day I am sharing a card with my favorite stamp set from the release. It is the Sprinkled with Love stamp set. I love images of food! Especially sweets! So, this stamp set is right up my alley. There are two other stamp sets in this release that are also darling; Bouquet of Happiness and Happy Together. This release also launches the very first Not 2 Shabby exclusive paper packs! They are darling papers, great for Valentines Day and beyond. You are also going to love the new ephemera pack and sticker packs! If you do love it all you can get the entire release as a bundle for a 15% discount, plus free shipping!
Now let's take a look at the Sprinkled with Love set in action.

I colored in each of my cookies using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush makers. Trying to match them to the colors in my clay heart sprinkles. I have all the the markers I used shown in the video, if you are interested in the exact color combinations. I find coloring with these markers to be a very quick and easy way to color my stamped images in. But there are two crucial things you need to be successful with this coloring method. The first is Bristol Smooth paper, it has a very smooth surface which helps these water based markers to glide across the paper. I have not liked the results I get with other papers and the Zig Markers. Second is you need an ink that will not bleed, I use Versafine Onyx Black ink. I have all of these things listed and linked for you below.
I used the slimline scalloped frame from Trinity Stamps to create the outside of my shaker, I thought this might look like the outside of a box of cookies with a window to see in. This die cut is 8-1/2" x 3-1/2". I added a window sheet to the back of the die set and put my cookies all in a row behind the window, so they appear to be in the box as well.
Behind the cookies is a sheet of printed paper from the Winter Hues Slimline paper pack from Trinity Stamps. I love the light pink and light blue together.
The shaker elements I used are clay hearts from the Craft Supplies by CC Etsy shop, one of my favorite places to get shaker elements.
My card has two sentiments. One I stamped right on the window sheet with White StazOn ink. The sentiment reads, " You Make Life Sweet". White Staz On ink is permanent and so perfect for stamping on a window sheet. But you do want to be sure to clean/ scrub your stamp immediately after stamping. And, if you mess up on stamping your image, a little rubbing alcohol will take it off. This sentiment is from the Sweet Senti-mini stamp set from Trinity Stamps.
The second sentiment is from the Sprinkled with Love stamp set and says just that. I embossed it on a little tag and tied it around the card, giving it more of that "box of cookies" feel.

Below I have listed and linked all the things I used to make today's card.
