Love & Cookies stamp set + Love & Cookies die

You loved our Bake it Merry stamp and die, now we have more sentiments to match! The Love & Cookies set features two new words in our fun cookie font – “Love” and “Happy” – perfect for Valentine’s, birthdays, and more. The companion tools, etc found in the Bake it Merry die set coordinate perfectly with this set as well. The Love & Cookies die can act as a stand-alone die, or it can be paired with the matching stamp set. The stamp set includes several complementary sentiments.

Piped Sentiments: Sweet die

This “sweet” new word die features a beautiful script font that reminds me of fancy icing. This two-piece set includes the word “sweet” and a matching base die. The base die from the set also coordinates with the “sweet” sentiment from the Sweet Tooth stamp set.

Sprinkles & Toppings

Everything’s better with sprinkles! We’ll be adding some new clay sprinkle mixes to our line-up, including a strawberry mix, candy crumble mix, and hearts!

We’ll also be stocking some other fun toppings! The white puffy paint makes a great whipped topping, while the Nuvo Drops look just like chocolate sauce. So fun for adding realistic details to your paper confections!

Let’s dive into today’s projects, shall we? My first project is my favorite of the day…it’s literally a tower of treats!

For this sugar overload, I piled up a whole bunch of the stamped images from the Sweet Tooth set on a Crimped Slimline base. I had so much fun stamping all of these colorful images, and adding all of the little details using the different toppings that are coming to the shop along with the new stamps and dies! I added a sentiment to the top, done with a combination of the new Piped Sentiments: Sweet die and a stamped sentiment from the Sweet Tooth set, embossed in white. I added a final dose of sugar by splattering with white paint to finish it off.

My next approach to the Sweet Tooth set was a little more refined compared to the binge-worthy card above. 🙂 Here I carefully selected just a few special treats to showcase in style, by placing them on some diecut circle “doilies”. I used a mixed of my Crimped and Nordic Circle dies, then folded them in half.

This provided the perfect place to showcase these cute treats. I added some tiny white flowers (from a die you’ll see more of tomorrow), along with strawberry slices from our Strawberry Bits sprinkle mix. Again the sentiment is a mix of stamped and diecut using the Piped Sentiments: Sweet die and the Sweet Tooth stamp set. The Frosted Frames die is the perfect finishing touch to add some fun around the edges with that cute loopy border. I left it nested inside the outer-most scalloped rectangle.

Next up I used the cute donut image from the Sweet Tooth set. I had so much fun stamping these in all different colors, and adding even more color to the sprinkles using colored pencils. I added different dots and drizzles using the Puffy Paint and Chocolate Nuvo Drops to embellish them even more. I filled my background with my assortment of yummy donuts.

After I had my arrangement all set, I adhered all of my donuts with foam tape for a little extra dimension. Then I topped it off with the outer scalloped frame from the Frosted Frames die. The sentiment was done using the new Love & Cookies die. I sponged some Tea Dye Oxide ink on the base portion, but left my letters white so as not to compete with all of my colorful donuts. The “birthday” sentiment is from the Love & Cookies stamp set.

Next up I have another birthday card using the same “happy” sentiment from the Love & Cookies set. This time I pulled out my Bake it Merry die – the cookie sheet and little tools from that set work perfectly with these new words as well.

I added in some diecut cookies, cut with the Bake it Merry die, and also some clay cookies from our Baked Bits sprinkle mix. In the background is a Frosted Frames diecut adhered to a kraft card base. I used the white puffy paint to add some dimensional dots around the scalloped edge.

Next I combined the “love” from the Love & Cookies die with some of the treats from Sweet Tooth. I put them on a black background to really make them pop. The background was once again cut with the Frosted Frames die – the loopy border from pink cardstock, and the inner portion from black.

The fun sentiment is from the Love & Cookies stamp set. I started it on the outside, and finished it on the inside. So fun to embellish these little treats!

Lastly today, I have a sweet valentine card that uses the Love & Cookies die paired with a fun sentiment from the matching stamp set. I used the heart from the “love” die to create a pair of heart cookies to go along perfectly with the sentiment.

I used my Frosted Frames die to create the background, and added in some clay sprinkles from both the Baked Bits and Heart Bits sprinkles.

That concludes my projects using the new products coming to the shop on Friday! I so hope you enjoyed taking a peek at them. We’ll be back tomorrow with a few more product reveals + more projects using the new goodies!
