Hello there! So glad you are joining me for day 3 of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I have a few more simple cards for you today using both of my new sets...Background Basics: Birthday Fun and Polka Dot Parade #2.
**Both of these new sets will be available starting March 15th on the Papertrey Ink website.**
Let's jump right in...
So for today I am using the same layout on each card as well as all the same colors...Hibiscus, Orange Zest, Lavender Moon and Ripe Avocado. For card #1 I mixed the polka dot flowers from Polka Dot Parade #2 with the flowers from Heart-2-Heart #7 and created my own floral design on my cardstock. The frame that my sentiment is stamped on was die cut from the My Mother, My Friend die collection. I added a single die cut flower to the side of my frame and a few rhinestones to finish it off.
Up next is a sweet little card perfect for a little princess in your life. I mixed the images from Little Princess with the stems and polka dot flowers from Polka Dot Parade #2 to create this layout. For the tops of the towers and the castle door I stamped the outlined castle image onto a piece of Hibiscus cardstock and then trimmed each section out and adhered them over my stamped castle. This card just makes me smile! :)
I created a little cluster of flowers on this next card using all three sizes of the Polka Dot Parade #2 images. The leaves are from Heart-2-Heart #7 and were stamped in Ripe Avocado. The sentiment 'You are beautiful inside and out' is from Simply You.
And lastly for today is a card created with the Background Basics: Birthday Fun set. I started by stamping my birthday words background along the bottom of my white cardstock in Hibiscus ink. Next, I stamped a row of gifts using the trio gift image. Again, I used the frame from My Mother, My Friend die collection and stamped my sentiment, from All About You. For the gifts around my sentiment I stamped the trio of gifts 3 times using all 3 colors of ink. I then cut one of the gifts out of each one and adhered them around my frame.
Here are a few more stops for you today that you will not want to miss...
I hope you all enjoy your day. I'll see you all tomorrow with more to share!
~Melissa
