Papertrey Ink - August Release Countdown - Day 4

Welcome back for Day 4 of the Papertrey Ink Release Countdown, friends. Today we are featuring the following new products … Sentiment Staples: Thanksgiving, Frame It Out: Many Blessings, Say It Simply: Giving Thanks Die and Simply Gourd-eous!

*All new products will be available August 15th at 10pm EST!**


My first card features the Frame It Out: Many Blessings and Sentiment Staples: Thanksgiving. I started by trimming down a piece of white cardstock, slightly smaller than my card base, and die-cut it using the Frame It Out: Many Blessings die. I set that aside and then die-cut the frame a few more times, this time using colorful colors of cardstock … Summer Sunrise, Orange Zest, Pure Poppy and Green Parakeet. Using the colorful flowers and leaves in those, I filled in the negative space of the white frame. 


I stamped Blessings, in Pure Poppy, in the center of my frame and then used a sentiment from the Sentiment Staples: Thanksgiving underneath. To finish this first card, I die-cut felt flowers and leaves using the Stitching Garden Die Collection.


Next up is the Say It Simply: Giving Thanks Die and Simply Gourd-eous. Using a piece of Kraft cardstock, I die-cut a Scallop Stackers: Small frame and then die-cut the sentiment out of that. I die-cut the sentiment again, this time in white, and placed it inside the negative space of the Kraft. 


I love the variety of gourds that are included in the Simply Gourd-eous set. I stamped and die-cut the trio and attached them before finishing my card off with a few clear sequins. 

Ok friends, only one more day to go! Have you started making your wish list yet? We have one more day of products for you to see and you definitely won't want to miss it. Until then, you can see more inspiration using the sets I used today by visiting the Papertrey Ink blog!

  1. I love filling in the negative spaces with another color. It makes the card look so finished. I love your first card. The colors are so vivid and the addition of the felt was a great idea.
