Papertrey Ink - Bold Basics + Color Block Stencils



Happy Saturday, friends! I hope you are all enjoying the weekend so far. Today, the Papertrey Ink gals have lots of inspiration to share using a new stamp set designed by the super sweet & talented Kimberly Crawford. It's called Bold Basics and it is fantastic. There is also a new stencil set, Color Block, being introduced today, as well.

We also have one more Summer Perk for you this month. By purchasing the Bold Basics Stamp Set & Color Block Stencils Bundle you will receive 10% off. Sweet deal, right?!


I decided to create my own colorful background using the diamond shape image in the set. I chose bright, vibrant colors … Orange Zest, Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise, Raspberry Fizz and New Leaf


After my background was stamped I attached that to a Kraft card base and then moved onto my sentiment. This is one of the sentiments included in the set. I stamped it onto a strip of True Black cardstock and then added dimensional foam before attaching it to the front. The flowers were die-cut using the Butterfly Blooms Die Collection and the leaves are from Botanical Bounty ll.

Papertrey Ink - Glorious Globes: June + Summer Perks


Welcome, friends! Today I'm sharing three cards featuring this month's Glorious Globes, June set from Papertrey Ink. We also have another Summer Perk for you … all of the previously released Glorious Globes products are 10% off until June 26th at 11:59pm EST. The new Glorious Globes: June set is excluded from this special.


How about a pile of colorful suitcases to get us started. On a white card base I stamped all of my suitcases up the right side, in a variety of colors. All of the colors I used will be listed in the supply list at the end of my post. Along the left side, I added a strip of the new Bitty Big: Tropical Teal paper.


My sentiment is from the Words to Live By: Learn stamp set and die. I stamped 'Adventures are the best way to' and then die-cut the 'learn' out of Pure Poppy. The tiny hearts are from the Baby Mine die collection.


I don't know about you, but this card makes me want to own a suitcase in every color of the rainbow! :) 


Card #2 features more colorful suitcases mixed with globes from a few different Glorious Globes sets. I started by stamping all of my suitcases, one on top of the other, and then trimmed them out in one piece. I attached that to the left side of a white card panel with dimensional foam. 


Next, I stamped and die-cut a few globes to include on my card. These two are from the Glorious Globes: Basics set.


And the Wild & Free globe is from Glorious Globes: May. I also added a few stars from the Stars & Stripes die collection.


For my last card, I started by die-cutting a base for my images to sit on using the Noted: Pinked A2 Vertical die collection. I stamped and die-cut my suitcases in pinks and then popped them up with dimensional foam on my pinked rectangle. 


The globe is from Glorious Globes: February. That was also popped up with dimensional foam.


The sentiment, 'Let's Get Lost', is from the new Glorious Globes: June. To finish my card, I added a few clear sequins to the center of my flowers on my globe and then attached the whole whole panel to a Green Parakeet card base. 

For more inspiration using this great new addition to the Glorious Globes collection be sure to head on over to the Papertrey Ink blog

Have a wonderful day and thanks so much for stopping by!

Papertrey Ink - Cover Up: Grid + Summer Perks



Good morning! The Papertrey Ink team is back with more new product inspiration for this month's release! Today we are introducing the new Cover Up: Grid stamp set. I just love these Cover Up sets … they make creating your own backgrounds so quick and easy, but they also allow you to be extra creative and try different techniques, such as heat embossing and water-coloring!

Did you notice the Summer Perks image above? That's right, from now until Friday, June 22 at 11:59pm EST, you will receive 15% off select Cover Up stamp sets. The offer is not valid on the new Cover Up: Grid, but there are other fantastic sets to choose from. You can visit the Papertrey Ink blog for more details.



Now onto my card … I heat embossed and then used distress inks to make a colorful background for my sentiment to sit on. I used the new Love die and mixed it with Botanical Garden ll stamp set and die collection to create my sentiment. I added white glitter to the 'love', before attaching it to my card and popped up the flower with dimensional foam to create my 'o'.


Forever & Always, from With All My Heart, was stamped in black and popped up with a strip of dimensional foam. And to finish it, I added a few clear dew drops!

You will find so much more inspiration using this new Cover Up: Grid set by visiting the Papertrey Ink blog and the rest of the Papertrey ladies! You won't want to miss what they've created for you.

Papertrey Ink June Release Countdown - Day 4

Happy Wednesday, friends! We're back for another day filled with new Papertrey Ink goodness. We have a new Botanical Bounty set for you today, as well as a stamp set and die geared towards LOVE

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



Up first is the beautiful new floral set, Botanical Bounty ll. And trust me when I say that this set is just as gorgeous as the first Botanical Bounty. I chose a fresh, clean color palette, using a mix of Simply Chartreuse, Green Parakeet an Ripe Avocado for my leaves, and Bright Buttercup, Lilac Grace and Orange Zest for my flowers. 

After stamping and die-cutting all of my leaves, I created a wreath for my flowers to sit on. Those were attached with dimensional foam. I also stamped and die-cut more leaves to tuck underneath my flowers.

My sentiment was stamped using the new How Are You Today? set (also available on the 15th).


I added a few clear sequins to finish it off and give it a little sparkle.


I LOVE love .. :) and this new stamp set and die make me so happy! I wanted to add lots of color to my card, so I die-cut 'Love' four times in the following colors … Hibiscus Burst, Berry Sorbet, Melon Berry and Pale Peony. After die-cutting, I cut each letter to separate them and then mixed the colors together to recreate my 'Love' die. I attached those to a white card base and then, using the new $5 With All My Heart sentiment set, I stamped one of the sentiments on a strip of white cardstock and attached it just below, with dimensional foam. 


My hearts were die-cut using the heart from the Baby Mine die collection. Along the bottom I added a strip of white cardstock and a strip of Bitty Big: Pale Peony. And lastly, a few clear sequins to complete it!

Thanks for visiting, friends! Enjoy your day and I'll see you again very soon!
