Papertrey Ink - October Release Countdown - Day 5

Happy Sunday to you, friends! We have reached the final day of the October Papertrey Ink Release Countdown. It's been so fun creating with all of the new products and sharing them all with you. For my final day, I have the pleasure of featuring the new Twinkling Trees! This set speaks right to my creative heart and is just my style! 

**All of the new products will be available October 15th at 10pm EST!**


How about we start the day off with a bright and cheerful holiday card. I started with a white card panel that I stamped with one of the star images in the set. I stamped it in Versamark ink and then heat embossed with clear embossing powder. Next, using the small coordinating tree die, I die-cut five trees out of that embossed white card panel. 



I set that panel aside and then attached colorful strips of cardstock to the front of a white card base. I love doing this. If you're like me, you end up with so many leftover strips of cardstock ... this is the perfect way to use them up and not let them go to waste. I then attached the embossed white card panel over the top, so you can see the colorful striped trees popping through.


I chose one of the many sentiments included in the set, stamped that in white onto black cardstock, and then popped it up with dimensional foam. I also added tiny die-cut stars to each tree to complete it. 


Up next is another card created with the small tree, this time I stamped each of them with two of the patterned backgrounds. I attached them across the center of my card front, some directly to the card and a couple with dimensional foam. 


Wishing you was added to top of my card, again with dimensional foam ...


and JOY THIS SEASON (from Sentiment Staples: Christmas) was added to the bottom portion, along with a few sequins.


My final card, and my most favorite, was created with the large tree in the set. I die-cut it out of white and then filled in all of the negative star space with colorful stars. Pure Poppy, New Leaf, Hawaiian Shores and Aqua Mist were the colors I used. I added the tree to the front of a Noted: Pinked A2 Vertical die. Along the top of that I had die-cut 2018 using the new Stitched Years and stitched it with black floss.


I used Sentiment Staples: Season's Greetings and mixed it with two of the sentiments from Twinkling Trees.


And to give it a little more sparkle and shine, I added a few clear sequins.

Well friends, that wraps up the PTI Release Countdown for me this month. I hope you enjoyed my projects as much as I enjoyed creating them. As always, thank YOU so much for visiting and for always being so kind with your comments! You are the best!
