Papertrey Ink - November Release Countdown - Day 3

Hey, friends! Welcome to Day 3 of this month's Papertrey Ink Release Countdown. Have you already started making your wish list? The stamp design team sure did create a treat for us this month. Today we are introducing a new Sentiment Staples set, as well as Fence Line: Winter and a new banner die collection! Let's jump right in to what I created for today ...

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



Up first is Sentiment Staples: Warmest Wishes mixed with the new Skinny Mini Banners. This new banner die collection is perfect for so many sentiments, but I chose to do something a little different with mine and created a colorful background for my tree (from Twinkling Trees). Harvest Gold, Melon Berry, Berry Sorbet, Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores and Simply Chartreuse were the colors I used. 


'Warmest Wishes' was stamped in Pure Poppy and 'for a festive holiday season' was stamped in black on a strip of white and popped up with dimensional foam.

 
Fence Line: Winter is up next. I started with a piece of white cardstock and used the wreath image to create a border around the outer edge and added berries using Pure Poppy and Berry Sorbet. My snowman was stamped, die-cut and attached with dimensional foam. 


I added two sweet little birds on either side, and two clear sequins to complete him and then moved onto my sentiment. This is another one of the sentiments included in the Sentiment Staples: Warmest Wishes set.

I hope you've enjoyed what I've shared today. Thanks so much for spending part of your day visiting with me. Be sure to hop on over to the Papertrey Ink blog for lots more inspiration using these new products!

Have a great day, friends!

Papertrey Ink - November Release Countdown - Day 2

Good morning to you, friends, and welcome back for Day 2 of the November Papertrey Ink Release Countdown. Today we have three new products that we are going to introduce you to … Glorious Globes: November, Forest Floor: Winter and Nesting Frames: Pierced Rectangles.

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

Up first is a card mixing all three of these new products, with Glorious Globes: November being the main focus.


I chose the snowflake image in the Glorious Globes: November set and started by stamping that on the front of my white card base. I used the following colors … Aqua Mist, Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal and Limeade Ice. After I had them all stamped, I then used the largest rectangle die, in the new Nesting Frames: Pierced Rectangles, and die-cut the outer edge of my card.


The sentiment is from Forest Floor: Winter and that was stamped on a Hawaiian Shores rectangle that was die-cut with another one of the Nesting Frames: Pierced Rectangles. To finish my first card I simply added a few clear sequins.


My second card features Forest Floor: Winter. Again, I chose to use a simple, white card base to create my card and stamped a border around the outside with one of the leaf images in the set. I used the following colors … Sweet Blush, Hibiscus, Pure Poppy and Green Parakeet. 


I used the Nesting Frames: Pierced Rectangles again to die-cut around the outer edge of my card and then moved onto my sentiment. The coordinating dies include a frame/label die and that's what I used to stamp my sentiment on. I first stamped and die-cut 'Peace, love and joy' in white and then die-cut the frame/label in Pure Poppy and attached that underneath! Two clear sequins on either side complete card #2.

That wraps up Day 2 for me, but there is still so much to see from the team. Visit HERE to see what they have to share to share with you and visit HERE for more information on these wonderful new products!

Have a happy day!

Papertrey Ink - November Release Countdown - Day 1


Hey there, friends! I'm so excited to kick off this month's Papertrey Ink Release Countdown. For Day 1 I am sharing a card featuring Floral Fantasy: Christmas. There is only one word for this set … GORGEOUS!

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



The images are so beautiful in this set that I didn't think I needed a whole lot of embellishing. For that reason I chose to keep my card one layer (well, almost). ;-) I chose my colors first … Weathervane for the deer and Pale Peony, Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist and Limeade Ice for the flowers and leaves. 


I stamped my deer first and then filled in around the bottom portion of my card with the flowers and leaves. I added my sentiment along the top and to complete it, I added a die-cut flower and leaves to the deer (my almost one layer). 

There are two more new products being introduced today. For more information on those, as well as the new Floral Fantasy: Christmas set, visit THIS page!

Have a wonderful day and I'll see you tomorrow with more to share!

Reverse Confetti Blog Hop

Good morning, friends! We are starting today off with a fun Reverse Confetti blog hop filled with tons of inspiration using all of the new products you've been seeing over the past few days! And guess what, all of the new products are now available in their shop! YAY!

For my hop card I chose two of the new sets to create with …


Snowflake Magic


Snowflake Magic Confetti Cuts


Snow Bunnies


Snow Bunnies Confetti Cuts


And here is my card...


I used a piece of patterned paper, from the new Winter Solstice pack, and attached that across the center of my white card base. I then attached the stamped and die-cut snowflakes and those sweet little bunnies that were colored in with Copics!


And now for more inspiration using these wonderful new products. The next designer in the hop is the super talented Jeanne Jachna. Be sure to hop along to each blog … you won't want to miss a thing!

Reverse Confetti Release Countdown - Day 3 - Snowflake Magic


Welcome back, friends! I'm back again as a 'Fetti Friend and to share another project with you for the final day of sneak peeks before Reverse Confetti's November Release. Tomorrow is the big day! 


The new set being peeked today is a beautiful snowflake set, Snowflake Magic.



And here is my project that I created!



I die-cut four squares using the new Winter Solstice patterned paper pack and the Scalloped Bag & Tag Creator Dies. Both will also be available on the 8th! After attaching those to the front of  my white card base, I placed the die-cut snowflake directly in the center, along with my stamped sentiment.


It's a little hard to tell from my photo, but I added white glitter to my snowflake to make it sparkle and shine! And for a little more sparkle and shine I added a few clear sequins.

Before you log off today, be sure and visit these super talented designers and leave a comment on each of their posts for your chance to win a $15 Gift Certificate!




Have a wonderful day, friends! I'll see you back here tomorrow for a fun Reverse Confetti Blog hop!
