Hi everybody, welcome to our new feature What do I do with this? For this challenge our designers will get to try out some of these new tools and share the projects they created using them. We’ve got some fun, new things coming to the Papertrey Ink store and our designers will show you how to use them so you’ll be comfortable incorporating them into your card-making and gift-giving. Stay tuned for exciting and creative things coming your way! We want to share what our designers love with you, and this gives you a first-hand look into their crafty-faves!
Let’s get started!
Hi Friends! It is Melody here today and I have a set of cards to share with you that fit perfectly in the Clearly Creative Card Box that is available in the PTI online shop and make a perfect handmade gift.
I wanted to keep the cards simple to mass produce. A stencil works great to easily create pretty backgrounds. I used the Berry Branches Stencil Collection, which is a set of four stencils that allow you to add the beautiful details.
I choose a different color combination for each card and attached the card fronts to a coordinating color of card base.
Next I chose 4 different sentiments from the Say It Essentials Stamp Set. I stamped on Stamper’s Select White Cardstock and die cut each sentiment with the smaller die in the Love to Layer: Scalloped Circles Die. Then I die cut a second circle from the die set in a coordinating color and attached the sentiment with foam tape.
The final step was to attach to sentiment to the card front and package the cards up!
I packaged the four cards and four envelopes in the Clearly Creative Card Box. In the same manner as I created the card sentiments, I added a sentiment to front of the box and tied a pretty blue crinkle ribbon around the box.
Thanks for joining me today. I hope I have inspired you to play along with the challenge!

Hi friends! Amy here with spring treat box that would be perfect to drop off for a friend for May Day!
The Wreath Favor Box Die is simple to assemble and uses one piece of cardstock, cutting the die out twice. I generally like to use a lighter weight cardstock for this so the score lines are easy to fold. When assembling a treat box, I prefer a strong adhesive like Scor-Tape.
I went with fun, bright spring colors for the blooms from the Wreath Favor Box Sentiments stamp set. After adhering the wreath to the front of the treat box, the blooms were arranged and added with foam adhesive. A sentiment from the same set was stamped and added to the center of the wreath.
For some fun embellishments, Rainstones were added across the petals and wreath. A simple earth toned bow completes the box.
