Hi everyone! Happy weekend! And welcome to the next five days of sharing my projects from the new Papertrey Ink September Release! All the brand new products are now available in the PTI Store! WOOOHOOOO! And, now that it's all live, I can finally share what I've been working on! Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
Today I'm showcasing three new products: The Very Merry stamp set and dies, The new Mix & Mat dies, and the Brilliant Baubles stamp set and dies. Whew! Say that three times fast! Everything in this release is holiday related and so beautiful. It has gotten me to kick start my Christmas cards which is a good thing! We have one more awesome surprise for you, and that's a kit from Betsy that is perfect for Christmas too. I can't wait for you to see it all. WOW. That will be available on October 1st.
My first card for today features a beautiful ornament from the Brilliant Baubles stamp set and then I used the Mix & Mat Berry Boughs dies to frame it on my card. I seriously also cannot get enough of the three new colors of patterned papers. Those stipes! ACK! I used loads of bright primary colors for this striking card – and even threw in some silver!
I started with an A2 card base and covered it with the new Pure Poppy striped paper as my starting point. Then I die cut the Mix & Mat Dies out of green and white. I trimmed the white piece down just a bit with my paper trimmer so I could fit in some silver paper to show behind the snow. Next I stamped the ornament in Versamark ink onto Blueberry Sky paper and die cut it out with the matching die. I die cut the bow three times out of Pure Poppy Cardstock so it would be thicker – I glued the three bows together stacked!
I stamped the sentiment with Stazon ink onto a vellum strip and wrapped it around the card on a diagonal. As a final accent i added a few pearls and a touch of white gel pen accents.
The ornament was attached to the card using foam tape.
This next card was made with the new Very Merry stamp set and matching dies. This is THE cutest Christmas tree! The tree is actually three separate stamps so you can layer lots of different colors together. SO clever! I used three different shades of greens to make this happy tree! The sentiment is adorable, and also from this same set. I used an A2 kraft card base and did layers of red, green and white. I stamped a few light blue snowflakes around the tree for interest.
Look at all the detail in that tree trunk! I love it. The matching die cut this out perfectly!
This card was just crying out for some twine!

great cards Wanda!
What a great way to start my morning. Coffee and my sweet friend Wanda. I adore that mat & mix frame. Really different. The Christmas tree is wonderful. Love your color choices. Of course you had me at twine… looking forward to having coffee with you all week. Thanks!
