Welcome to Day 1 of the August countdown. Here at Papertrey Ink we love to bring you tons of variety. If you like more simple designs or something a little more challenging, we have you covered. Each of our newly released products can be used in so many different ways to fit your particular style, we are excited to show you how they come to life!
Hi, it’s Melissa, and I’m so excited to share our new products with you. We absolutely love bringing you the most amazing images made from the highest quality materials for you to add to your creative toolkit. I’m going to show you what I created with these wonderful products and then we’ll show you what the other designers made. The card below was created using the new Exquisite Leaf Frame Hot Foil Plate and Fresh Florals stamp set and dies.
Our Exquisite Leaf Frame Hot Foil Plate creates the most gorgeous frame around your focal point. It’s perfect for fall of course, but will suit your year-round projects perfectly. I selected a matte aqua foil to layer over my Fine Linen cardstock and love how it looks.
Inside the frame, I used our new Fresh Florals stamp set and dies. You’ll adore these gorgeous greens and florals. You’ll find flowers, berries, and greens that you can mix and match and create wreaths, swags, and all sorts of beautiful groupings to surround your sentiments and accent your cards.

Next up on Day 1 of our August Countdown, I’m introducing you to the fun, new Frightful Frames dies and Spooky Treat Labels. These supplies will inspire you to find your Halloween spirit and start creating tags, cards, and treat containers.
The card below was created using the adorable Frightful Frames die set, which comes with four different frame dies. Choose from an oval, square, circle, and rectangle shape, all with different images used to accent each frame. You’ll find pumpkins, spider webs, a spooky moon, bats, a cauldron, and more.
I die cut my oval Frightful Frame from white glitter cardstock and layered it over my card base that uses the new Exquisite Leaf Frame Hot Foil Plate, foiled in lilac. I love using non-traditional colors on my Halloween projects, how about you?
Next, I added in a Spooky Treat Label to the center of my frame, die cut from black cardstock and heat embossed using white embossing powder. I love this stamp set because of all of the many different options available to create sweets and treats for Halloween. They are the perfect size for tags, and treat packages, just as you’ll see our designers have created for you. Across the bottom of my card, I used die cut accents from our Pumpkin House die collection. So sweet!
