Eucalyptus Elegance + Wispy Tree + Just Sentiments: You’re on My Mind

     87 Comments

Welcome to Day 2 of the Papertrey Ink July Release.  I’m so glad you’re here to share in the fun!  Today I get to share with you the new Eucalyptus Elegance stamp set and dies and Cover Plate:  Wispy Tree die.  You’ll love these new products!

The Eucalyptus Elegance stamps and dies were designed to give you the freedom to create different arrangements with your images.  Think swags, wreaths, accents surrounding your sentiment, and even using them as filler in any of our lovely Vase Collection options.  I used the images in this delightful, new set to create a wreath, using the many different sizes of eucalyptus to build, and add filler so my wreath is nice and full.

This set consists of 2-step stamping, with a solid layer on the bottom and a more detailed layer on top.  You’ll also find a fun variety of sentiments in different fonts to choose from and they are beautiful!  I added mine across the center of my wreath, stamping on the coordinating die cut to give it a bit of dimension and height.

Behind my eucalyptus wreath, I’ve used the new Love to Layer:  Ovals dies, adding a bottom vellum layer, and nice, bright, white top layer to create a soft, scallop around my wreath.  I love these dies!  Also used is the gorgeous, new Cover Plate:  Wispy Tree die.  It is dainty, intricate, and full of beautiful movement.  I cut mine from white and layered it over a soft Spring Rain blue base, to tie into the colors used on my wreath.

Wait til you see how our designers have used their Eucalyptus Elegance images.  You’ll love their creativity!

Introducing the new Elegant Edges:  Wispy Tree dies and Just Sentiments:  You’re On My Mind stamps.  These new products are beautiful and so versatile.  Let’s get started!

The new Elegant Edges:  Wispy Tree die allows you to create a lovely edge in the shape of our Wispy tree.  I cut mine from Vintage Cream cardstock and then reinserted the cut out portion of the tree after sponging it with Spring Moss ink.  I added colored leaves by using my Copic Markers in a soft green and golden yellow to resemble some beautiful fall leaves.

Behind my tree I have used the Sunburst Stencil collection to add my sun rays behind my tree, using a die cut Scallop Stackers:  Medium block of cardstock.  I then added a die cut vellum Love to Layer:  Ovals followed by my sentiment which is from the new Just Sentiments:  You’re On My Mind stamp set.

The flowers used are from the Sidewalk Chalk Flowers stamps and dies, and I thought they’d look perfect placed below the tree and accenting my sentiment.  I added bit of of grass below my tree using the grass from the Weave-A-Basket die collection.

Let’s go enjoy what the other designers have created using their new Elegant Edges:  Wispy Tree dies.  I’m sure we’ll be inspired!
