For My Sweets

I love a quick, cute card don't you?  I can totally appreciate tons of layers, beautiful embellishments and gorgeous  piecing but there are just some times when you need a fast beauty!  Well Sweet Hearts, the newest set from Mint Motif is here to help!  I think this set is so versatile, kind of like a building block set - it can do it all!  When I saw FTL#123 this week, I immediately thought of this set - perfect!  You could whip out a bunch of these cute cards in no time (plus I think it could be really cute on a smaller scale, like 3"x5")!


So I used some pretty paper from the Life is Good collection by Echo Park to piece the gumball machine (Geny had done this during the sneak peek and I was inspired!).


I added some Glossy Accents to the glass part after the hearts were stamped.  The ribbon is awesome! It's Pink Twill Stripe available at i{heart} papers, where you can also pick up Sweet Hearts!

Cardstock: (Vintage Cream) Papertrey Ink, Patterned Paper: (Life is Good) Echo Park, Stamps: (Sweet Hearts) Mint Motif, Ink: (Black, Rhubarb Stalk, Bamboo Leaves, Pear Tart, Angel Pink) Memento, (Baja Breeze) SU!, Accessories:  (Pink Twill Striped ribbon) May Arts, (Glossy Accents) Ranger, Copic markers
