Flower Fusion #6 & Hanging Out - Day 5

Hello everyone! Welcome to the last day of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I have really enjoyed sharing these past five days with you and appreciate all of your comments and e-mails sharing your excitement over all of my new sets and new patterned paper collection. Thank you!!!!

So for today's final post I have three more cards for you....

 

First up...a sweet card using Flower Fusion #6. I started with a Spring Moss cardbase and then stamped the vine image from Tag It's #3 on the front using Spring Moss ink.

 

I stamped the vine image once again onto a piece of white cardstock and then punched it out with 1.75" circle punch. 'I miss you', one of the sentiments in the set, was stamped in True Black ink. I die cut two flowers using the coordinating Flower Fusion #6 die and then stamped each one using the flower images in the set....one solid and one outlined.  

 

Next is a baby card using a few different stamp sets. I started by stamping my clothesline, from Hanging Out, in True Black ink onto white cardstock. There are so many Papertrey Ink sets that have images that would work perfectly with this clothesline. A few examples....

• Alpha-blocks - stamp a name across the line
• the images from Night, Night Moon
• create a fun Halloween card using Been Boo'd
• mittens from Snowfall
• use the stockings from Stocking Prints
• have birds sit on top of the line using Birds of a Feather, Bird Watching Additions or Little Bitty Bird
• hang the bikini or flip flops from Day at the Beach
• the apron from Just for You
• the quilt blocks from Quilters Sampler or Quilters Sampler Additions
• use the owl from Wise Owl and have him sit on top of the line

These are just a few of the many images that would work great with Hanging Out.

 

And another set that works perfectly with the line....Bundle of Love. I used a piece of the Funky Town patterned paper to create the cloth for the baby. The bird is from Little Bitty Bird and the tiny pink flowers are from Tag It's #3.

 

Todays final card features yet another set you could use with Hanging Out. I used the cute little bear from Baby Button Bits and played dress up with her. I had to alter her body a bit but the clothing is a perfect fit for her size.

 

The sentiment, 'You're one great kid!' is from Way to go, Kiddo!

That does it, my friends! I hope you've enjoyed all of the projects you've seen over the past five days. I can't wait to see what you all create with these new stamp sets and paper. :) Tonight is the release party. It starts at 10PM EST in the Papertrey Ink forum.

Have a wonderful day!

 

I miss you!

Flower Fusion #6 & Sweet As Can Be - Day 4

Welcome everyone to day 4 of Julys Papertrey Ink countdown. I have a few more cards for you today using two of my sets that will be released on the 15th. Let's get right to them....

For todays first two cards I started by cutting strips of cardstock. The colors I chose...Pure Poppy, Terracotta Tile, Orange Zest and Summer Sunrise.

 

I used Flower Fusion #6 for both cards and stamped them onto a piece of white cardstock that was die cut with the Button Card Collection die. The flower was stamped in Pure Poppy and the stem/leaves in Simply Chartreuse. After I attached the strips of cardstock I added a few strips of glitter.

 

I kept the layout the same on this next card but instead of glitter I stamped the outlined flower image from Flower Fusion #6 on the strips instead. This flower was stamped in Orange Zest. To finish both cards I just added some ribbon, a button and a small pearl in the centers of the flowers.

 

Up next I created a frame out of white cardstock and glitter. Yup, more glitter! You all know I can't live without the stuff. ;)

 

I used Sweet As Can Be for this card. I stamped the cone in True Black ink in the center of my frame and then added my felt scoops on top.

 

The dotted patterned paper is from my new patterned paper collection, Funky Town, which will be released on the 15th along with the stamps and all the other Papertrey Ink goodies you've been seeing.

 

I used the sentiment 'sweet' from Sweet As Can Be and then used 'GIRL' from Sweet Baby to create my sentiment.

That's all for today from me! Be sure to pop on over to visit these ladies....

Introducing Hanging Out

Welcome back everyone for day 3 of my July Papertrey Ink peeks. Today I'm going to share projects with you using my last set being released this month...Hanging Out!

Hanging Out

• there are 30 images - a clothesline, 1 pair of outlined overalls, 1 outlined sundress, 1 outlined t-shirt, 2 outlined onsies, 1 outlined bib, 1 patterned bib, 2 patterned onsies, 2 patterned t-shirts, 3 pockets, 2 pair of socks, 4 flowers, 1 star, 1 clothespin, 1 grass image, 4 sentiments
• will retail for $24
• has a coordinating die for all of the clothing
• available July 15th on the Papertrey Ink website

 

One thing I love about some of Papertrey Ink's dies is that they come on one plate so it allows you to create a bunch of images at once. So for todays first project I started by running the Hanging Out dies through my die machine 3 times using 3 different colors of the Bitty Box patterned paper....Aqua Mist, Ocean Tides and Ripe Avacado. After doing this I stamped each image using the coordinating outlined stamp image.

 

Using some of those images I created this super clean and simple card. I used Kraft cardstock as my base and then created a clothesline out of white crochet thread.

 

The clothing pieces were adhered with foam adhesive. Thank heaven for little boys! is part of Hanging Out! Boys and girls are separate from the rest of the sentiment giving you a bit more versatility when using them.  

 

I did the same for this next card but used girly colors of Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper....Summer Sunrise, Lavender Moon and Plum Pudding.

 

These would be so super easy to mass produce! 

 

For todays final card I went with a pink and yellow color scheme.....Lemon Tart and Raspberry Fizz. The grass strip was stamped in Simply Chartreuse and then I stamped one of the flowers in the set in Raspberry Fizz.

 

Notice the overalls...I layered one of the t-shirts underneath! How cute is that?! I know I'm going to be doing this a lot and mixing up all the clothing pieces. 'Welcome, little one!' is one of the sentiments in the set.

I've just barely touched the surface of this stamp set! Nichole and Betsy both shared projects using Hanging Out as well as Sweet As Can Be a couple of days ago. Their projects were just AMAZING!!

And there is still more to see from these ladies....

Introducing Flower Fusion #6 & Funky Town

Hi everyone! Here we are on day 2 of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. Thank you all for your comments and e-mails yesterday. I'm thrilled that you like what you've seen of Sweet As Can Be. It really is just a sweet and fun set to create with. I'll have more projects using that set later this week. I thought for today I would share a few cards using my new addition to the Flower Fusion collection...Flower Fusion #6. This set features a sweet layered flower and fun plaid patterned leaves.

Flower Fusion #6

• features 8 images - 2 flowers, 1 flower center, 1 stem/leave image, 4 sentiments
• will retail for $5
• will be available for purchase starting July 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has a coordinating flower die

I'm so excited for this months release not only for the release of Sweet As Can Be, Flower Fusion #6 and Hanging out but also for the release of my new patterned paper collection....FUNKY TOWN!! You all got a peek of this on Nichole's blog yesterday.  The colors in the collection are Raspberry Fizz, Hawaiian Shores, Simple Chartreuse and Aqua Mist! So bright and cheery and definitely my favorite colors to use together!!

 
 

.  

For this first card I used the 3 polka dot sheets from Funky Town and cut each one in a 1.5" X 4.25" strip. I adhered those across my card front and then zig zag stitched. I used the frame die & stamp image from Sending You to create the base for my sentiment and flower. 'From me to you...' was stamped in True Black ink. I used some Hawaiian Shores felt and the Flower Fusion #6 die to create my flower. The stem and leaves were stamped on Simply Chartreuse cardstock and then I just trimmed out the leaves and attached them to my flower.

 

I used the left over pieces of patterned paper from the strips I cut in the card above to create this next card. I did some zig zag stitching once again and then attached the polka dot paper to my white card base with foam adhesive. The strip of white cardstock was stamped with one of the sentiments from Think Big Favorites #3 and the stem/leave image from Flower Fusion #6. The larger Raspberry Fizz flower was created with the Beautiful Blooms #2 die. I layered another Hawaiian Shores felt flower over that and then finished it with a Simply Chartreuse button.

 

Lastly for today is a card I created with some left overs I had laying around in my stash. The large white rectangle was created with the Button Card collection die. I stamped my stem/leaves in Simply Chartreuse and then created my flower using the Flower Fusion #6 die and Raspberry Fizz cardstock. The flower was stamped with the outlined flower image that is included in the set.

 

When I created this set for the Flower Fusion series I thought I'd make the sentiments so they would allow you to carry them over to the inside of your card. That's what I did here. 'I thank you' is one of the sentiments in the set. And 'From me to you...' can be used with almost ALL of the other Flower Fusion sets that have been released so far.

From me to you...

• Have a wonderful day! (#1)
• Miss you! (#1)
• How are you? (#1)
• I appreciate you! (#2)
• You made my day! (#3)
• Thanks for making me smile! (#3)

Introducing Sweet As Can Be

Welcome everyone to the first day of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I'm very excited to get started and start sharing my projects with you all using my three new sets. For today I'm going to share projects using my ice cream set...Sweet As Can Be! A perfect stamp set for these hot summer days!

Before we get to the projects I'll give you the scoop (I just couldn't resist ;) on the set...

 Sweet As Can Be!

• there are 12 images - 5 ice cream scoops...3 patterned, 1 solid, 1 outline, 2 cones...1 outline & 1 patterned, a cherry, 3 sentiments & the word 'sweet'
• will retail for $15
• has a coordinating cone and scoop die
• available July 15th on the Papertrey Ink website

 

Up first is a card I created using the coordinating cone and scoop die and some Dark Chocolate and Melon Berry felt. I started by adding a strip of Melon Berry and Spring Moss cardstock across the middle of my card. I then moved onto the tag.

 

The Tag Sale #1 die was stamped in Melon Berry using the Background Basics: Gingham set. After adhering my strip of lace across the center I placed my ice cream cone on top. Instead of the cherry I added a Spring Moss button. 

 

Here is one of the sentiments in the set. I really love how you can stamp the word 'sweet' separately from the rest of the sentiment!  

 

Up next is a card using one of the patterned scoops in the set. Again, I ran the cone and scoop through my die cut machine and then stamped my scoop in Pure Poppy ink. There is also a patterned cone image as well as an outlined one in the set but I left my cone on this card blank.

  

Happy Birthday, sweet thing! is another sentiment in the set.

 

Lastly for today I made a set of invitations! My kiddos and I have been talking about having an ice cream party before school starts back up so I created these to send off to their friends. I have attached the file for you to print your own off below. All you have to do is add your ice cream cone or whatever ice cream image you would like.

Download Party invite  

 

After printing them all off I moved onto my ice cream cones. I created a variety of different colored scoops using the die again....Hawaiian Shores, Hibiscus, Orange Zest, Simply Chartreuse and Summer Sunrise. I stamped each scoop with the outline scoop image in the set. 
 
 

I'm so glad you all stopped by today! I'll have more to share tomorrow using another one of my newest sets plus I'll have more to share of Sweet As Can Be later in the countdown. Be sure to stop by and see what the other Papertrey gals have to share....
