Papertrey Ink - January Release Countdown - Day 2

Hey, everyone! Welcome back for Day 2 of the January Papertrey Ink Release Countdown. I'm thrilled that I get to showcase two new products for you today … Frame It Out: What's Inside? and the Nesting Basics: Oval Dies.

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

The new Frame It Out: What's Inside? is such a fun and sweet little set. It even has a coordinating die which makes creating with it even more fun and versatile. You can see the die in the photo above and that's what I used, along with the new Nesting Basics: Oval Dies, to create my first card. 

I started by die-cutting one of the larger ovals in the die collection. I then used a Nesting Basics: Pierced Oval Dies (introduced yesterday) to impress the inside.

Next, using the Frame It Out: What's Inside? Die, I die-cut the inside of the oval. I then created a colorful inlay by die-cutting that same image in a variety of colors. 

The sweet bear, from Bear Hugs, was placed in the center of the oval frame and he's holding one of the many sentiments included in the set.

I used the large oval pattern image on card #2. I stamped it once in Hawaiian Shores and then built my pattern out from there using the individual images. 

I mentioned there are a variety of cheerful sentiments included in the set. Here I used a few of them together to create my greeting!

To add a little 'extra' embellishment, I added a few white flowers, from Butterfly Blooms, and leaves from Botanical Bounty.

I went a bit retro on my last card for today. My background was created by die-cutting and layering the Nesting Basics: Oval and Nesting Basics: Pierced Oval Dies. After layering and attaching them all to my card front, I moved onto my sentiment.

I did a little mixing here … some old with the new. I used the Love Die and From the Heart Dies to create the 'LOVE' part of my sentiment and finished it off my adding the rest of my sentiment above and below that.

Well, friends, I hope you enjoyed what I created for today and hope I've inspired you a bit when it comes to creating with these wonderful new products. Head on over to the Papertrey Ink blog where there is so much more to see from the design team, as well as a few more goodies that are being introduced today.

Have a happy day!

Papertrey Ink - January Release Countdown - Day 1

Hey there, friends! I'm excited to kick off this month's Papertrey Ink Release Countdown. This month is filled with so many great new products and I can't wait to share what I've created with you. To kick off Day 1 I have a card created with the next addition to the Corner Adorner series, as well as the newest Shape Shifters Die. Let's jump right in!

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

To begin, I stamped the new Corner Adorner: January set on two of the corners of my white card base. The colors I used … Orange Zest, Hibiscus and Harvest Gold. Next, I die-cut the Shape Shifters: Square 4 Die out of Hibiscus. I die-cut the die two more times, one in Orange Zest and the other in Harvest Gold, to create the flower in the center of the Hibiscus square. 

I popped that up on the center of my card and then added the sentiment, also part of the Corner Adorner: January set. 

And that's it! Sweet and simple for me today, but there is still soooo much more to see from the rest of the team. Pop on over to the Papertrey Ink blog to see what they have to share with you!

Have a wonderful day and I'll see you right back here tomorrow!

Believe in the Magic with Reverse Confetti

Good morning, friends! We're in the last stretch before Christmas. It's such a wonderful time of year, but can also be a bit stressful. I sure hope you are able to take a break from the hustle and bustle to just sit and enjoy all of the Goodness of the season! 

I'm taking a little break myself and popping on this morning to share my final project as a 'Fetti Friend. I have enjoyed every minute of creating with these Reverse Confetti products and am sad to see it come to an end. One of my favorite sets that was recently released is Snowflake Magic. I think I've used this set on most of my projects, so it's gotten a lot of love from me. 

Snowflake Magic

Snowflake Magic Confetti Cuts

And here is something bright and cheery that I created ...

 Here's a close up of the colorful, layered snowflake! I die-cut two whole snowflakes, layered them over each and then added my individual stamped snowflakes around that. In the center I added one of the sentiments, 'Believe in the magic, with a bit of dimensional foam.

And here is the full view. Before attaching my snowflake to my card base, I added colorful strips of cardstock across the front and then added the snowflake over those. A few colorful sequins were all I needed to complete it. It's simple, but has lots of color, which is my absolute favorite kind of card to create. 

I hope you enjoyed, friends!

Papertrey Ink - December Release Countdown - Day 5

Happy Friday to you! Today is an exciting day, as we have reached Day 5 of the countdown and tomorrow you will be able to purchase these new products for yourself. Before you finalize your list, we have a few more products to share with you today … Bear Hugs, Shape Shifters: Oval 4 and You Make My Heart Soar!

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

Bear Hugs is such a sweet set! I love how he was designed to hold multiple images in the set. I chose the flowers for him to hold and then embellished around him with the heart image.

I used the Shape Shifters: Oval 4 die as my base and popped him right up in the center.

My final card for this countdown was created with You Make My Heart Soar. A super sweet heart shaped balloon set. I started by stamping one of the heart bundle images and created a border around the outer edge of my card in the following colors … Hawaiian Shores, Bright Buttercup, Green Parakeet, Raspberry Fizz and Lavender Moon.

I stamped the balloon strings and sentiment and then attached 3 die-cut hearts balloons and a few sequins.

That completes this month's countdown for me. I hope what I've shared inspires you just a smidge when it comes to creating with all of these wonderful new products. You can find all of the details on everything introduced today right HERE!

Have a wonderful day, friends!

Papertrey Ink - December Release Countdown - Day 4

Good morning, friends! Day 4 of the Papertrey Ink countdown is here and we have even more loved filled goodies for you today. In the line-up is Corner Adorner: December, XO Skinny Mini, Bold Borders: Love Die & Glorious Globes: December.

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

Up first is the XO Skinny Mini mixed with Corner Adorner: December. I wasn't quite sure where this card was going when I started. I chose my colors and got my stamp sets ready and just went with it. The colors I used … Melon Berry, Hawaiian Shores, Green Parakeet, Pure Poppy and Sweet Blush.

I started by stamping the hearts, from XO Skinny Mini, in three colors, in the center of my card. Then I used one of the borders in the Corner Adorner: December set and started building a border around my hearts. I love the quirky scallops in this new set! There are two of them and they are so cute and fun!

To finish my first card I stamped the sentiment, also from Corner Adorner: December, and added a few sequins. 

My second card for today features the new Bold Borders: Love mixed with Glorious Globes: December. Again, I used the inlay technique to make my card super cheery and colorful. My colors for this card … Orange Zest, Harvest Gold, Pale Peony, Hibiscus, Melon Berry and a pop of Hawaiian Shores peeking out from the back.

I stamped one of the globes directly in the center of the white and then die-cut a separate one and popped it up with dimensional foam. 

I sure hope you enjoyed my projects for today. There is only one day left and then you can do a little early Christmas shopping for yourself! :) Until then, be sure and visit the Papertrey Ink blog for more details on all of these new products. 

Have a wonderful day!
