Introducing Beautiful Blooms II & Background Basics: Botanicals

March 9, 2010      Nichole Heady      1,196 Comments

Way, way back in the beginning of this crazy adventure I've had with Papertrey Ink, I designed a stamp set that was truly a labor of love.  Beautiful Blooms was only the twelfth stamp set I had ever designed, but it had all of the bits and pieces that I had ever dreamed of from a basic floral set.  I've used this set literally hundreds of times over the years and it has been versatile enough to fluctuate with my style as it's changed over time.

What better way to celebrate our third year in business than to bring you a second edition to one of our most popular sets!  Beautiful Blooms II contains several varieties of floral images that can be stacked & layered to your hearts content!  There are also NINE coordinating dies to complement the set, which will bring you even more options than you had before!

The details.

  • Beautiful Blooms II will be available for sale on March 15th.
  • It will retail for $24.
  • Beautiful Blooms II contains a total of 28 stamps (19 floral images, 3 leaves and 6 floral centers.)
  • There will be three sets of three dies available for sales as a companion to this stamp set.  Each set of three nesting dies will retail for $14.

Beautiful blooms dies
 

The second set I am showcasing today is a little number from Melissa Bickford.  

Melissa's headshot
 

She has a keen eye for creating background sets that have a certain flair and style that are timeless and can be morphed into a variety of looks.  Her presentation this month includes several varieties of botanical themed patterns, both whimsical and sophisticated that will find a happy place in your collection.

The details.

  • Background Basics: Botanicals will be available for sale on March 15th.
  • It will retail for $24.
  • It contains a total of 12 stamps (6 background building strips and 6 individual companion images)

Now, let's kick off this release and get to some projects!

I thought I would start off with a little video presentation that many of you have requested since we first introduced our exclusive dies last month.  It goes over the basics of cutting with our dies, the sandwiches required for a few of the more popular die-cutting machines as well as some tips for using the new Beautiful Blooms II images with the coordinating dies.

Here is a closeup of the project I highlighted in the video.

Sweet Surprise card
Isn't this so bright and cheery?  Just makes me want to smile!  Plus, who can resist all that sparkle!  After creating one of these layered blooms, I am pretty excited to make more in other color options!  Having pre-made embellishments like this in your arsenal can help you to be prepared to create stunning projects in a matter of minutes!

Picnic plaid background
 

You might notice the fun texture added to the Raspberry Fizz layer of the card cover.  This was added using one of our new March Impression Plates entitled Picnic Plaid (more about this later in the week).  It's the perfect finishing detail for so many types of projects.

Sweet surprise sentiment
The sentiment is from Cupcake Collection and is stamped in the brand new Hawaiian Shores color that is coming out as well this month (more about this later in the week).  Notice the rickrack?  I die-cut it from Spring Moss cardstock using another new die designed by Dawn McVey!  Such a fun addition to a project!

Layered flower closeup
One thing I love, LOVE, love about the new floral images and dies is the ability to mix and match them.  These two flowers could easily be used by themselves, but as you can see here, they can also be layered on top of one another for even more options.  And you know me!  I love options!

Now, I have also prepared a second video for you today!  (Don't you just feel so spoiled!)  This one showcases how you can use the BACK of our dies to emboss.  You will LOVE how quick & easy this technique is!  Plus it makes the dies you purchase from us THAT much more versatile!

Now onto a few closeups of the card highlighted in the video.

Youre the Best card
The subtle embossing that the backside of the die creates is the perfect backdrop to the coordinating floral images.  It gives pizzaz to a clean & simple card to keep it from being too boring.  Little details like this are what make a project.

Embossing closeup
In this photo you can see how the Scor-tape glitter frame I created surrounds the sentiment perfectly. Adding an outline like this helps to draw the eye inward to the sentiment doesn't get lost in all the white space.

Youre the best card & envelope
I love this little 4×4 size with our coordinating envelope.  It's the perfect thing to leave on someone's desk or use as a gift enclosure.  Plus, it's fun to make things in miniature like this just to throw a little something different into your creative diet!

I have one more quick and easy project that I want to show you using the Background Basics: Botanicals set that I mentioned earlier in this post.  I will be using this set throughout the week, so you will have to keep your eye out for additional projects using it… but here is just a little something to whet your appetite!

Vellum Flower Card
I love the soft, delicate style that this project ended up taking on.  I stamped one of my favorite patterns from this new set using Versamark ink on Sweet Blush cardstock.  You'll notice that I didn't stamp the pattern all the way to the right-hand edge to help add emphasis to the ribbon border and flower.

Diecut vellum flowers
The vellum flower I created is the perfect example of how you can use our new Beautiful Blooms die trios WITHOUT the stamps fro even more possibilities.  I die-cut them here from our vellum cardstock, two of each size.

Piercing vellum flower
I stacked them all on top of one another, making sure the petals were staggered.  I then used a paper piercer to add two holes to the center of the stack.

Stitching vellum flower
Using a needle and crochet thread, I stitched the flowers together, letting the ends of thread extend out through the top side of the flower.

Vellum flower closeup
Those loose ends provided the perfect way to tie a Sweet Blush vintage button in place, adding a finishing decorative element to my layered flower.  SO addicted to these now and am looking forward to making MORE for my stash!!!!! 

So, are you completely, madly in love with today's sets just as I am?  And what about all those new dies?? To die for, right????  We would love to hear your first impressions of everything presented today.  Just for sharing your initial thoughts with us, you could have a chance at winning a FABULOUS prize package!

    I absolutely love the video tutorials! Thank you, thank you! It really helps to have a visual. There are a couple of tips I learned from watching you: tap, tap, tap the inkpad to the stamp and make your sentiment & border a little longer than the width of the card so you can cut it off after. These things would not have occurred to me. So helpful.

    BTW – I love the new color, Hawaiian Shores. I just know you were thinking of me when you decided on a name! (wink-wink).

    I love the background sets, and the floral is going to be great! And the dies are so cool. I really love doing paper piecing, and the dies make it so much easier to combine it with stamps as well.

    What an awesome array of new products! I think you have created the PERFECT set of dies for flowermaking with tons of variations!! I think I may never buy another flower adornment again…thanks so much! I also bought a length of rickrack today and was trying to match it with my other Papertrey products…with the new rickrack die, those problems will be over, too!!

I guess I’ll have to add PTI to my monthly budget … ya’ know, like electric, heat, gas for my car, food … the necessities, which I can foresee PTI is going to become! Both stamp sets and the dies (I already have 100s) are wonderful. I appreciate that your dies are unique, unlike other manufacturers dies. As a “do or die” die-cuttter, I love that! Your videos were clear and informative and left no need for “guessing” which eliminates error and waste. Go green! Thanks for the tip on making a mark to line up the die/stamp. On the 15th, I’ll be watching the clock anticpating 11 p.m. my time, midnight e.s.t. Can’t wait to see what all else you have coming … or can I?? Teeheehee! G 🙂

So, so fun! Those things can get expensive, plus we are always losing one! How great would it be to just have a stash of huge felt flowers to go with all her cute little dresses! So, so fun!

    I fell in love with Beautiful Blooms when it came out, bought it for all my friends and they fell in love also. The new set is going to be even more of a must have because of all the dies available. I can’t wait to get my hands on this set. Your creativity always astounds me.

    I didn’t think you could top last months release but boy was I wrong!!!! I love the new dies that are being introduced with the stamp sets. I just used the butterfly die and stamp set the other day to make a card. What fun!

    The stamp set and the dies are so well thought out! The details that PTI considers when developing the products are so helpful when actually using the products! And it is the details that really set your products apart!

    I love the second card with the Summer Sunrise and Pure Poppy flower!

    Thanks for the chance to win this amazing prize package! I am looking forward to the rest of the countdown!

    and the PTI team has knocked my socks off once again. Fantastic job, ladies. I can’t wait to get my hands on the new dies and coordinating stamps for Beautiful Blooms – they are so versatile, timeless and yet fresh. Love the other sets presented as well, the ric-rac die, it’s all just wonderful. NOW if I can just quit my job so I can stay home to play with PTI goodies all day…

    The flowers are so beautiful and I love that you can mix them up. What a great idea to have matching dies. I do a lot of cutting out so they are perfect for me. Thank you for all the new wonderful ideas that all of you have been coming up with. I am never at a loss for creativity.
