Hello again! Welcome back for day 2 of the Papertrey Ink March countdown. I have a lot more polka dots for you today using the new Polka Dot Parade set as well as a birthday card featuring the new Background Basics: Birthday Fun set.
**Both of these new sets will be available starting March 15th on the Papertrey Ink website.**
The colors I chose to work with today are Pure Poppy, Simply Chartreuse, Berry Sorbet, Lemon Tart and Sweet Blush. Each card measures 3.5 x 5.
Up first are a few cards using the Polka Dot Parade #2 set. I used the Spiral Notebook Page die on each of these cards. I stamped 'HELLO' in each of the colors I mentioned above and then added 'Sending you a happy' just above them. I added a fabric flower that I made and a Berry Sorbet button to finish it off.
Using the same layout on this card I started by stamping my flower stems in Simply Chartreuse and then moved onto stamping my flowers. I added my 'Hello' using Pure Poppy ink and then added a Sweet Blush button.
For this next card I mixed the newest Polka Dot Parade set with Polka Dot Parade #1, that was released last month. One of the things I know I am going to enjoy about these sets is the fact that they will all coordinate with one another! Gotta love that! My bunny was stamped in Berry Sorbet and then I stamped my flower stems on either side of her. After stamping my flowers I added a bit of grass from the Hanging out set. Again, I finished it off by adding a button.
And last but not least for today is a card created using the new background set...Background Basics: Birthday Fun. The bottom portion of my card was stamped using the birthday words background. Above that I added a strip of Simply Chartruese cardstock that was die cut using the medium scalloped border die. Using the same trio of presents I used on my card yesterday I stamped one above the other and then added 'happy birthday' from Make A Wish.
That's a wrap for day 2. I hope you have enjoyed what I've shared today. You can see more projects using this months new products from these ladies...
So glad you stopped by...thank you! See you all tomorrow...
~Melissa
