Introducing Flipping Out & Heart-2-Heart #4 - Day 1

Hello everyone! It's that time again...time for another Papertrey Ink countdown. I have two new sets to share with you for the May release. A fun, summery flip flop set and the newest set in the Heart-2-Heart series.

First up...Flipping Out! I LOVE flip flops! If I could I would seriously wear them every.single.day! Not really possible when living in the Northeast and having some pretty cold winter months and lots of snow. Thankfully, we have had quite a few warm days over the past few weeks so I've been able to break them out and pack the boots and warm socks away. :)

• features 23 images - 1 outlined pair of flip flops, 5 pair of solid patterned flip flops, 2 flip flop straps, 7 sentiments, 1 small heart, 1 small flower
• will retail for $24
• will be available for purchase starting May 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has coordinating dies

 

There are a total of 6 coordinating dies in this set. Two flip flop dies, two flip flop straps, 1 tiny flower and 1 tiny heart.

When creating my projects for the monthly countdowns I always die cut extra images. So here you see I die cut and stamped four pair of flip flops, each one using a different image in the set. Stripes with a heart, flowers, thicker stripes and polka dots.

After die cutting my flip flops I also die cut a bunch of straps and flowers. I stamped the flowers with the coordinating flower image but left the straps plain. Here is a picture of them all assembled.

For card #1 I started by using the tiny flower in the set and stamped it multiple times onto a piece of Spring Moss cardstock. I attached that to the bottom of my card base and then added two strips of glitter. In between the glitter strips I stamped one of the sentiments included in the set...'Life is better in flip flops!'

I attached my flip flops to the front of my card and then added two additional die cut flowers. A few rhinestones, ribbon and a Spring Moss button complete this first one.  

Next up is a card similar to the first. I stamped the bottom again using the small flower image and then added two more strips of glitter. My flip flops are sitting on a plain circle and scalloped circle that were die cut using Spellbinders Nestabilities dies.

'Happy summer!' is another one of the sentiments in this set. A couple of rhinestones, a Sweet Blush button and some twine complete this one.

• features 10 images - 2 piece telephone, 3 heart images and 5 sentiments
• will retail for $5
• will be available for purchase starting May 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has a coordinating telephone die

 

***I want to mention before we jump into the Heart-2-Heart project that the tiny heart die in the Flipping Out die collection also coordinates with the tiny hearts in Heart-2-Heart #2 & Heart-2-Heart #3 and this newest set, Heart-2-Heart #4 (and the future H-2-H sets). More bang for your stamping buck!***

Just a simple card using this newest Heart-2-Heart set for today. I just love this little telephone. I stamped that in Spring Moss and then used one of the die cut hearts and attached that to the middle of my phone. I stamped 'hello' multiple times and added a strip of Bitty Box Basics patterned paper and some twine along the top.

To finish this one I added another rhinestone and the sentiment 'How are you?'.

 

That wraps up this first day of the countdown for me. I'll have so much more to share with you over the next few days. These ladies all have projects to share using their newest sets so be sure to pop on over and say hello.

Flip flops and telephones ~ what stamper doesn't just love them both? Your cards are so cute, Mel, and you embellished them so nicely. Love that the heart die is so versatile as we all need to get more bang for our buck so we can buy more PTI. : )

Heart-2-Heart #4 with the telephone is really
sweet....great for making "thinking of you"
cards. BUT, you have really hit a homerun
with Flipping Out! Darling cards. Can't
wait to get my hand on this stamp set and
the matching dies. So much fun!
