Welcome to Day 1 of Papertrey Ink’s May Countdown! I have been so excited to share our amazing new products with you. Today’s goodies are all about BABY, including a giraffe, baby bib, narwhal, whale, florals and gorgeous corner decor. Let’s jump right in!

Introducing the new Sweet Baby Bib dies. Soak in this darling bib…complete with scalloped trim, felt flowers, die cut words, and a bow. These are just a few of the options available in the Sweet Baby Bib die set.

I love this new die set because of the wide variety of options you can create using them. You can easily create bibs a baby girl or boy just by mixing in different die cut shapes included in the collection. Our designers have created bibs with a tiny giraffe…complete with spots, a plump and oh, so cute whale that can transform into a narwhal just by adding a horn, and there are plenty of elements to create bibs for the tiny, new baby girl too. You’ll find multiple die cut words available in the die collection too.

I’ve used the gorgeous, new Cornered: Fresh Cuts dies in the bottom corners of my card to add a decorative edge. These new dies are genius and full of possibilities. You’ll find a variety of corners to choose from and use on your cards including scalloped, rounded, bracket, and more! I love them because they instantly transform the shape of your cards and take them to the next level of cuteness! My sentiment is from the new Just Sentiments: Welcome stamp set and is sweet and simple. You’ll find the most charming sentiments in this new set that will help welcome the sweet, new addition or just simply say “Hello Sunshine” to a friend or family member. Also used on this card are the new Corner Decor stamps and dies that you’ll be hearing more about next.

Next up today are our beautiful, new Psalm Reflections: May stamp set and coordinating dies. We’re also showcasing our new Into the Blooms: Geraniums dies and Corner Decor stamp set and dies. All so lovely, fresh, and blooming with creativity!

I am crazy about our new Corner Decor stamp set and dies. This set is loaded with the most beautiful variety of corners with coordinating dies to embellish the corners of your cards. You’ll find leaves, flowers, berries, vines, and more! I love that you can cut out each design with a coordinating die to really make a statement and help your corners pop. They truly add so much and in just an instant!

The verse included on the new Psalm Reflections: May stamp set is so comforting and strengthening. I love the meaning of hope and encouragement it brings and it is the most perfect addition to our Psalm Reflections series. You’ll love the two special flourishes that can be stamped separately on coordinating dies. They look lovely adorning the top, bottom, or both, of your stamped Psalm. Mine is stamped over stenciled sunbursts and a blue sky, to accent the hopeful meaning of this stamp.

Our new Into the Blooms: Geraniums are over the top, gorgeous! They are happy, vibrant, and add so much personality. You’ll love how easy to assemble these blooms are and how effortlessly them come together. They are instant summer and sunshine! Just wait to see how our designers have used these gorgeous flowers. They make me smile and want to create some of my own.

TIPS:
-
Texturize your layered die cuts by using an embossing stylus
-
To get an image with a softer and lighter color try second generation stamping (stamp first onto scrap paper and then stamp again)
-
Add the same color to your sentiment to connect it with your background colors
