Flipping Out & Heart-2-Heart #4 - Day 5

 

Welcome again for day 5 of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I've truly enjoyed sharing my projects with you using Heart-2-Heart #4 and Flipping Out and very much appreciate all your comments and e-mails over the past five days. Before we get started with todays post let me recap both of these new sets...

**The release party starts at 7am tomorrow morning in the Papertrey Ink forum and all of the new products will go live on the Papertrey Ink website tomorrow, the 15th at 10PM.**

 

• 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

 

• 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

 

Todays color combo...

 

Up first for today is the sweet little telephone from Heart-2-Heart #4. I die cut four of them out of the colors shown above and then added cooridinating buttons to their centers.

I stamped 'Just wanted to say' in Lavender Moon and then stamped 'HELLO' repeatedly along the bottom. I added a bit of white string to tie it all together.  

Next up is another card using Heart-2-Heart #4. For this one I started by stamping my heart dial and sentiment onto a piece of Lavender Moon cardstock. I layered that over my Hawaiian Shores card base and then stitched a strip of Simply Chartreuse below.  

I added my lace doily, my die cut phone and my sentiment, 'How are you?' to finish it.

And lastly for today is this little number using Flipping Out. I started again with my Hawaiian Shores card base and then attached a scalloped border strip along the side. Over that I added a strip of Bitty Dot paper and Lavender Moon ribbon.

After die cutting my flip flops I stamped them with the polka dot flip flop image. I die cut a couple of Simply Chartreuse straps and added pearls to those and a tiny flower to complete this one.

 

That wraps up this countdown for me. I hope you have enjoyed the projects I've shared with you over the past five days and hope that I've given you a bit of inspiration when using these two new sets. Don't forget to stop by and see what final projects these ladies have to share....

Flipping Out & Heart-2-Heart #4 - Day 3

 

Hello again everyone! I hope your weekend has started off to be a wonderful one. I'm back for day 3 of this months Papertrey Ink countdown and I have three more cards to share using both of my new sets, Heart-2-Heart #4 and Flipping Out. Both sets, along with their coordinating dies, will be availabe for purchase starting May 15th on the Papertrey Ink website.

Lets start with todays colors... courtesy of my lovely daughter. She is my color guru when I'm stumped and I was stumped so I asked for her help. I asked her to pick a color combo that didn't involve PINK! and this is what she chose...

 

Up first...Flipping Out! I started with my New Leaf card base and then added a piece of Bitty Dot patterned paper. I used the Rick Rack border die, a large button and of course all of the pieces to my flip flops.  

The sentiment 'I'd flip out without you!' is one of the sentiments included in the Flipping Out set.

Card #2 is another one created with Flipping Out. More Bitty Dot paper, a little glitter and another button.

'Relax and enjoy your day!' is from Flipping Out and 'sweet friend' is from Heart-2-Heart #4. Remember there are two tiny little die pieces to embellish your flip flops...a tiny flower and a tiny heart. Card #1 has the flower and this card, the heart!

 

The last card for today was created with Heart-2-Heart #4. More Bitty Dots...Hawaiian Shores scalloped border...Orange Zest ribbon...and a Hawaiian Shores button.

This sentiment comes in two pieces...'Just wanted to say' and 'Hello'. One of the things I was looking forward to doing the most with this little set is adding a cord to my phone. So many different things you could use to create it...thread, twine, string, wire etc. I'm sure there are more!

Well my friends, that completes another day for me. Thank you all for visiting with me today and as always...for sharing your thoughts on my sets! Before you start your day be sure to pop on over to see these ladies...

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

 

Welcome back for day two of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. I have a few more projects to share with you today using both Heart-2-Heart #4 and Flipping Out. I'm so thrilled to hear all of your excitement over both of these sets and hope that I can inspire you just a little bit more over the next few days.

I'm keeping it super simple for today. I'm a huge fan of stationery and notecards and thought I would focus more today on just the images and some bright, cheery summer colors. Not only are the ideas endless when it come to stamping one layer cards but they are also perfect for keeping on hand and mailing off to someone special. No bulkiness or extra postage needed!

Let's start with Heart-2-Heart #4. I stamped all of my telephones on the right side and added my sentiment on the left. 'HELLO' is one sentiment and 'sweet friend!' is another. I stamped the tiny heart, that is also in the H-2-H #4, next to my sentiment to complete it.

I didn't share the telephone die yesterday...here it is!

And here is a fun sheet of embellishments. All die cut and stamped using the Heart-2-Heart #4 images. It's a little hard to tell but there are clear circle epoxy stickers over the center hearts. They fit perfectly!

I used four of the patterned flip flops in the Flipping Out set to create these next three cards. After stamping all of the flip flops I went back over them and stamped the straps.

I mentioned yesterday that there are a total of 7 sentiments included in this set. 'Relax' and enjoy your day! is one of them.

'Take time for yourself!'

Here I flipped to a vertical card and stamped just one of the flip flops up the left side of my card.  

'Enjoy your vacation!'

 

That completes today's post from me but there is still more to see today from these ladies...

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.

Tweet Talk & Heart-2-Heart #3 - Day 5

Happy Saturday everyone! This is day five of the Papertrey Ink countdown and I have another card set to share with you. I created this set using Tweet Talk when I was creating the set for Day 1 using Heart-2-Heart #3 but I never posted it. But before I share it let me recap both sets...

 

• features 35 images - 6 outlined birds, 6 solid bird bodies, 2 solid birds, a row of small birds, 6 bird tails, 13 sentiments, 1 bird wire
• will retail for $24
• will be available for purchase starting April 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has coordinating dies

• features 7 images - 4 patterned hearts, 1 small solid heart and 2 sentiments
• will retail for $5
• will be available for purchase starting April 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has a coordinating heart die

 

The release party starts at 7am EST tomorrow morning, April 15th on the Papertrey Ink forum. Tweet Talk & Heart-2-Heart #3 as well as all of the other products you've been seeing on Nichole's blog will be available starting tomorrow night at 10pm EST on the Papertrey Ink website.

 

This card set was so simple to make...so simple. Not much to them at all which is a bit out of my norm but they were still super fun to create. To start this set I cut all of my white cardstock as well as my case bases and rounded all of the corners on each one.

The same colors were used on all of these cards...same as on day 1...Hibiscus, Summer Sunrise and Hawaiian Shores. This first card was stamped using the row of four little birds...one of top of the other. After stamping them I added my die cut birds over top of them. I added my sentiment and stamped the solid tail image to each birdie to finish this one.

Here is the large outlined bird with the large outlined tail.  

And the two large outlined birds.

Again the large outlined bird with flowers and the large outlined tail.

The large bird again with the medium sized outlined bird image. 

And last but not least is the bird wire that is included in the Tweet Talk set along with birds created using the smallest outlined bird image.

All of the sentiments that you see are part of the Tweet Talk set. 'A little birdie told me' is one sentiment and can be stamped separately from the rest of the sentiments.

That does it for me for this release countdown. I want to thank each and every one of you again for all of your comments and e-mails. You all know how to put a smile on my face and it is so appreciated! I have been sooo extremely busy this week that I haven't been able to e-mail any of you back and I'm sorry for that...I normally do but just wanted you to know that I do appreciate YOU!!

And of course don't forget about these ladies...

Tweet Talk & Heart-2-Heart #3 - Day 3

Hello again everyone! Before we get started I just want to thank you all for your kind comments and e-mails. I love hearing from you all and so appreciate you taking the time to let me know what you think of my projects and stamp sets. :)

We are midway through this months Papertrey Ink countdown and I have a few more cheery cards to share. All three cards have images from both of my newest sets...Heart-2-Heart #3 and Tweet Talk. They will both be available starting April 15th on the Papertrey Ink website.

I have a very springy color combo for you today...

Let's jump right in to todays projects...

Up first is a birthday card using one of the large birds in the Tweet Talk set along with the double heart image from Heart-2-Heart #3. I used the balloon string from Heart-2-Heart #2 and attached one of my hearts above to create something cute for my little bird to hold on to. My sentiment 'Happy Birthday' is also from Heart-2-Heart #2.

I added one of the smaller tails in the set to my bird and did a little stitching along the top and bottom of my hearts.

Next up is this card using a few images from Tweet Talk. I started by stamping the large solid tail in the set along the side of my card. I then added some Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper and a strip of Lemon Tart cardstock. I added my sentiment and then did my stitching.  

I punched a circle out of white cardstock and then used the smallest tail in the set and stamped around the border. The sentiment is from Heart-2-Heart #3. I added my bird, glittery tail and ribbon to finish it.

And last but not least for today. I used more Bitty Dot Basics patterned paper and trimmed my edges with pinking shears and then stitched it to my cardbase. I've had a handful of Heidi Swapp chipboard letters stashed away and used those to add 'tweet heart'.

I added my birdies and my sentiment, both from Tweet Talk...

and my hearts to complete it!!

 

That's all for day 3. I'll be back with more for tomorrow and I swear there will be NO PINK!! :) I promise! I didn't realize til I started uploading my pictures for this post that I had used pink all 3 days. Now I LOVE pink...you all know that but I'm ready for something different, how about you?!

There is still a lot to see from the rest of the PTI gang...

Introducing Heart-2-Heart #3 - Day 1

Day 1 of this months Papertrey Ink countdown has arrived and I'm looking forward to sharing my projects with you over the next five days. I have two sets coming out this month but for today I'm going to focus on the newest addition to the Heart-2-Heart series.

• features 7 images - 4 patterned hearts, 1 small solid heart and 2 sentiments
• will retail for $5
• will be available for purchase starting April 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has a coordinating heart die

 

 

I decided to make a sweet little set of thank you cards...keeping each one simple with not a lot of extra embellishing or bling. I started by die cutting a bunch of hearts using the coordinating heart die and then stamped each one with the hearts in the Heart-2-Heart #3 set. Notice the patterns on the hearts...yup, they coordinate with both Heart-2-Heart #1 and Heart-2-Heart #2 which makes using all of these little sets that much more versatile! :)  

• Raspberry Fizz cardbase
• Hawaiian Shores, Summer Sunrise & Raspberry Fizz hearts
• Summer Sunrise polka dot ribbon

• Hawaiian Shores cardbase
• Raspberry Fizz, Summer Sunrise & Hawaiian Shores hearts
• Summer Sunrise polka dot ribbon

• Summer Sunrise cardbase
• Hawaiian Shores, Raspberry Fizz & Summer Sunrise hearts

• Hawaiian Shores grosgrain ribbon

• Hawaiian Shores cardbase
• Summer Sunrise, Raspberry Fizz & Hawaiian Shores hearts
• Raspberry Fizz saddle stitch ribbon

• Summer Sunrise cardbase
• Raspberry Fizz, Hawaiian Shores & Summer Sunrise hearts
• Hawaiian Shores grosgrain ribbon

 

Each of the cards were stamped with both sentiments in the set...'Thank you' and 'Your thoughtfulness touches my heart!'. A doily in the corner gives each one that little something extra!

This is just the beginning of the countdown. I'll be back tomorrow with projects using the second set I have being released this month, the birdies. Think 'tweet'! ;) You can get a peek of it today by checking what Nichole and Betsy have to share!

Have a wonderful day everyone and be sure to pop in and visit these ladies...

Back Pocket Basics, World's Greatest & Heart-2-Heart #2 - Day 5

Happy Wednesday everyone! Welcome to the final day of this months Papertrey Ink countdown. All of the new stamp sets and products you have been seeing will be available for purchase on the Papertrey Ink website starting at 10PM on the 15th.

I have a few more projects to share with you today using my three  latest sets...Back Pocket Basics, World's Greatest and Heart-2-Heart #2.

I have another bright and cheery color combo for you today. Can you tell I'm ready for summer! :)

 

To start todays projects I die cut a bunch of different images from all three sets. I always die cut extras and whatever I don't use will be added to my stash of images from previous releases.

 

For card #1 I stamped the large double heart image that is part of Back Pocket Basics onto Raspberry Fizz cardstock. I added glitter to my Summer Sunrise hearts and attached those with dimensional adhesive and then added my other elements. A rick rack border strip, Summer Sunrise ribbon and the 'love' tag, which is part of Back Pocket Basics. The bottom part of my card was stamped with Background Basics: Geometrics.

My sentiment, 'sending you lots of love', is from Sending You.  

Next up, Heart-2-Heart #2! The bottom portion of the Orange Zest cardstock was embossed using the Polka Dot Basics ll impression plate.

I popped up my balloons using dimensional adhesive and then added my sentiment, glitter and wrinkle fabric.

Here is another card featuring some of the images in Back Pocket Basics. I used the trio of small flowers and stamped them along the bottom of my Ripe Acocado cardtock and then added my other pieces.

More wrinkle fabric, glitter and a few pearls!

And last up for today is a super simple card using the tie images in World's Greatest. No pink on this one! There are 7 ties total in this set. This particular card uses the circles, stars and DAD! 

I used the Polka Dot Basics ll impression plate once again and also added the negative strip from the rick rack border I created on the first card. Lastly, I added my sentiment and some twine.

 

Well, that does it for me! Thanks so much for sharing these past five days with me. I hope you've enjoyed the projects and hope that I have been able to give you a little creative inpiration. There are a few more stops for you that you won't want to miss...

Back Pocket Basics, World's Greatest & Heart-2-Heart #2 - Day 4

 

**I have two posts for today so be sure to scroll down :)**

 

Welcome back everyone for day 4 of the March Papertrey Ink countdown. I have a lot to share with you today so I'm going to jump right in.

Up first is this card using a few of the images from Back Pocket Basics. There is a small trio of posies included in the set that I stamped around the border of the Summer Sunrise & Hawaiian Shores cardstock. I also used the tiny tag die that is part of the Back Pocket Basics die collection and stamped the coorinating 'sunshine' image on the inside and then attached it along the side of my card. 

I just adore this sweet little sun image. It is 3 different images...a solid sun, a outlined & dotted sun and the little smiley face. To create my cheeks I used one of the solid circles from Tree Tops and stamped it in Sweet Blush. To finish it I stamped 'Sending you a pocketful of sunshine' in Dark Chocolate ink.

'Happy Birthday Sunshine' is up next. I created another sweet sun image and used it along with the pocket from Back Pocket Basics. I stamped SUNSHINE on the bottom part of my card using Hawaiian Shores ink. 

I stamped 'Happy Birthday', from Heart-2-Heart #2, in Pure Poppy ink and then added some red string and a tiny pink flower to finish it.  

Next up is World's Greatest. For this card I stamped the large 'WORLD'S Greatest' in Dark Chocolate and then added my tie below that I die cut using the coordinating World's Greatest die.

Grandpa is one of the many masculine images in the set. That was stamped in Dark Chocolate and then a Pure Poppy button and twine were added to this one. 

For this one I started by die cutting a piece of white cardstock using the Button Card die. I added a piece of polka dot paper along the side and then added my balloons. Those were all die cut with the Heart-2-Heart #2 balloon die.  

I stamped the 'Happy Birthday' repeatedly on the Summer Sunrise cardstock. A Sweet Blush bow and doily completes this one!

More Heart-2-Heart #2 on this one. The hearts on the balloons were all die cut using the Love Lives Here die collection.

Another Sweet Blush bow, glitter and a few pearls are the finishing touch. 

And last up for today is this little baby card. These balloons fit so well with SO many different stamp images. I love it when you can use different sets together!!

That completes day four for me. I still have so much to share with you tomorrow and will be back in the morning with another post. Still lots to see so be sure to stop by and see what these ladies have to share...

Introducing Heart-2-Heart # 2 - Day 2

Happy Sunday everyone and welcome to day 2 of the Papertrey Ink March countdown. I was thrilled to read all of your comments and e-mails yesterday regarding Back Pocket Basics. I have to say that this set is quickly becoming one of my all time favorite sets that I have designed. I'll be sharing more of that set as well as World's Greatest over the next 3 days.

But for today I am going to share the next set in the Heart-2-Heart series...Heart-2-Heart #2. This set has sweet little balloon images and is geared towards birthdays! Here are the details...

 

Heart-2-Heart #2 

• features 9 images - 3 balloons, 3 balloon strings, a single heart and 2 sentiments
• will retail for $5
• will be available for purchase starting March 15th on the Papertrey Ink website
• has a coordinating die

It's been quite some time since I have used the Polka Dot Parade paper collection and decided that it would be perfect for today. I used the coordinating Heart-2-Heart #2 balloon die to create all of my balloons. Each one was stamped with a different balloon image from the set....a heart, swirls and a funky box pattern.

There are 3 balloon string images included in this set but for this card I chose to use some rustic twine. You could use so many different things...twine, floss, string, thin ribbon etc.

'Happy Birthday' is one of the two sentiments in the set. Don't you just love that font!? To finish this card I added a strip of glitter and a bow to my balloon strings. 

Up next is this super frilly card that includes some of my favorite things...doilies, pearls and ribbon!! 

I die cut another balloon out of Berry Sorbet cardstock, stamped it with the heart balloon image and adhered it over my swirly balloon string. 'Today is all about celebrating you!' is the second sentiment included in the set.  

And last but certainly not least is this sweet and simple card. It was hard to get a good, crisp shot of the sentiments but you get the idea. Using Sweet Blush, Berry Sorbet and Ripe Avocado ink I stamped 'Happy Birthday' one on top of the other.

 

How about a big gingham bow and a couple of Prima flowers to finish it off!!

That's another wrap for me! I  hope that you've enjoyed these projects and look forward to sharing more with you tomorrow. Before you go be sure to stop by and say hello to these talented ladies...
