  • More Papertrey Ink October Release: Mix and Mat Snowflakes and Year Of Psalms October!

    Hellloooooo and happy Wednesday! We made it half way through the week already. The days are flying by so fast right now – probably because it's my favorite time of the year! I want October to last forever, but it is speeding on by! The weather has been super lovely this week. Crisp, cool mornings and sunny afternoons. This weekend is the Scrapbook Expo here in Sacramento and I'm hoping to be able to find the time to pop over there for a bit. I took another crochet class this week too! It's addicting and FUN! 

    Today is my third day introducing some more new Papertrey Ink products from the October release! My card is featuring Year of Psalms October, and the newest Mix & Mat Snowflakes Dies. I created a chalkboard effect and I really like how it came out!

    My card base is A2 and made from Kraft cardstock. I layered white paper and Chartreuse plaid paper underneath the black die cut. I stamped the sentiment in Versamark Ink and heat embossed it in white embossing powder. To add to the chalkboard look, I smudged some white pigment ink with my finger on top of the embossing.

    For accents I used a few Christmas trees and a smattering of enamel dots. I wanted to pop some red in there.

  • More Papertrey Ink September 2017 Release: Introducing Brilliant Baubles, Mix & Mat Berry Boughs and Very Merry!

    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!
