Introducing Sweet Baby & Flower Fusion #5

Hello everyone! It's been awhile, hasn't it? Welcome to the first day of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I have 3 new sets to introduce you to this month and I can't wait to get started. I'm going to share just two of the three sets with you today. I always like to start slow on the first day! :)

First up is a little bit of info for you...

Sweet Baby

• features 13 images - 3 animal bodies, 1 animal head, 5 mix and match baby words, 2 single hearts, 2 rows of hearts
• will retail for $15
• will be available for purchase starting June 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has coordinating animals dies :)

  

Up first for today are two baby cards using the adorable giraffe image in Sweet Baby.

 

I used Friends 'til the End patterned paper for the baby girl card. I kept this one pretty simple by just adding a strip of lace along the side, a bow and large pearl.

 

I stamped my sentiment onto an oval Nestability using two of the 5 single words included in the set. I die cut my giraffe in Summer Sunrise cardstock and stamped him in the same color.

 

Now for the baby boy card. I created another giraffe the same as on the baby girl card. The patterned paper I used on this one is from the Distressed Dots collection.

 

I die cut the clouds, from the Clouds 1 & 2 collection,  and then sprinkled them both with glitter. 'Sweet Boy' was stamped in Dark chocolate onto Aqua Mist cardstock. To finish it off I added some button twine and a Dark Chocolate button.

 

Flower Fusion #5

• features 6 images - 2 flowers, 1 flower center, 1 stem/leave image, 2 sentiments
• will retail for $5
• will be available for purchase starting June 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has a coordinating flower die

And last but not least for today is a sweet card using the new Flower Fusion set...Flower Fusion #5. I just love this new addition to the Flower Fusion series! Vintage Cream, Pure Poppy, Aqua Mist and Ripe Avacado were the colors used on this card. I started by creating my scalloped border using 2008 Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper and the medium scalloped border die.  

 

For the flowers....I started by lightly drawing two simple lines down my square piece of cardstock. I then went over it with my paper piercer and made holes so that I could stitch the stem with DMC floss. I stamped my leaves onto a separate piece of cream cardstock and then trimmed them out and attached them. The flowers were stamped in Pure Poppy ink. I created this flower so that you could use a 1/2" circle punch to create the centers, like I did on this card. But there is also a circle image in the set that you could use as well. A little versatility for ya! ;)

That's a wrap for day one! A few of the other PTI gals have projects to share with you today....

• Nichole Heady

I'll be back tomorrow and will have more to share using these two new sets as well as the third set featuring that sweet little stork! Thanks so much for stopping in. I'll see you all tomorrow!
