Valentine’s Day and 3 New Swaps (with new goodies for them!)

New for Valentine’s Day (or maybe you just love pink)

First, New Collage Sheets by Amber Gibbs

Valentine Bird Hearts
 

Amber Gibbs has designed this beautiful "Valentine Bird Hearts" sheet (see sheet at right and enlargement at left). Lovely collages ready to use "as is" or to further embellish.

Another new sheet by Amber is of sepia-toned vintage photos of Cowgirls (in the background of the image at right).

Fun Vintage Pics and Snapshots are two more (new) collage sheets.

 
Lots (of Varied) Valentine’s Day Goodies

- "Hey Sugar" Paper Set & Die-Cut Buttons
The paper set has three double-sided 12" x 12" heavy 65# sheets. Both options use Valentine's Day icons in a light/bright/fun way, like a pattern made of cupid's arrows.

- Amy Butler Fabric Brads & Felt Flowers
The fabric brads feel a little like silk kimono fabric designs. The felt flower stickers each have 3 or more layers of stacked felt and include stitching, rhinestones and/or pearls.

- Valentine Embellishment Jar
Each jar contains 160 pieces: 100 buttons, 40 paper blossoms and 20 felt heart shapes.

Just 1" square and a nice dark red.

- Love Potion Tiny Box Set
Each set includes: 1 Box, 3 buttons, 1 sticker sheet & a foldout. Box measures approximately 3" x 1.5" x .5" (did I mention "tiny"?).
