Welcome to Day 2 of the September 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 Forever Snowflake Frame dies and Merry Christmas Hot Foil Plate and die.
Where do I begin in regards to our beautiful, new Forever Snowflake Frame dies? This die set is stunning and loaded with the most gorgeous and intricate variety of snowflakes for the season. Use the snowflakes on their own to embellish your winter cards, or add them around your Forever Snowflake Frame…the possibilities are endless and are waiting for you to discover and enjoy!
Do you love to foil? I can’t quite get enough of adding shimmer and shine through foiling to my projects. I especially love our new Merry Christmas Hot Foil Plate with coordinating die. Such a fun way to add glimmer to your Christmas cards this year. I love that you can die cut the sentiment as well, adding it to the center of your Forever Snowflake Frame or any number of other possibilities!
These two sets of products look so beautiful together and allow you to create cards as simply or as detailed as you wish. I went the more intricate route by adding layers of Forever Snowflakes, die cutting them from glitter cardstock, patterned paper, and cardstock. That’s what makes this set of dies so exciting and inspiring. I used our new Ornament Cloche stamp set and dies too, tucking sprigs of greenery and poinsettias in and around my layered snowflakes. What a fun card to create!

Next up today, we have the playful and festive Ornament Cloche stamp set and dies to share with you as well as more snowflakes…the delightful Perfect Snowflake dies.
I chose a bright and cheerful color combination for my card today as this set embodies “Merry and Bright”! The tiny ornament in this set is meant to be transformed into a cloche, filled with a variety of trees, a darling Christmas car, a candy cane, and lots of fixings.
What a playful set this is to create with! You’ll love selecting your fillings, your color combination, and sentiment for each card you create. I die cut my ornament from white glitter cardstock, allowing the sparkle of the cardstock to mimic snow inside a snow globe. I added whimsical trees in reds and pinks, a bright aqua card, and poinsettias and berries that coordinate.
There are three separate sentiments included in this set, all just the right size to fit across the base of the cloche or across the bottom of the snowdrift…bitty sentiments are my favorite because they can be used in nooks and crannies! Behind my Ornament Cloche, I added die cut snowflakes from the new Perfect Snowflake die collection. I adore these chunky, soft, and rounded snowflakes. There are such a wide variety of snowflakes included that it’s hard to choose which to use.

#3 – red card by Kelly
They are all beautiful. It was a choice of 3. I chose #11. 9 was a close second.
Love those snowflakes! Kelly’s cards always stand out to me. But the tan wreath and the snowflakes is also stunning h!
I love the snowflake dies and all the cards that use non traditional christmas colors.
I love the ornament cloche card by Bobbi! Everything is so sweet!

Love Melissa’s first card using the Snowflakes and foil Merry Christmas sentiment. Her style using pastel colors and beautiful layering is stunning.
Liane H.’s card using the Ornament Cloche is lovely also. Beautiful Christmas card inspiration from the entire DT!
Wonderful cards! I love the gorgeous Forever Snowflake Frame! Kelly’s red card really stands out to me, as does Melissa’s lovely creation!
Love the poinsettias adorning the wreath—-of those, Kelly’s is my favorite. The rich red embossed panel sets an elegant stage for the sweet wreath!
Love the ornament and all the things that can fit inside. Was it suggested that the hanger be put off to the right side? I found it interesting that every single card/designer had it on the right side. And the bug in the ornament? That’s the best!
All cards are beautiful and all are favorites!
Absolutely beautiful products & cards! I’m on overload with so much inspiration!
Beautiful cards! I was thinking the Snowflake frame would be perfect for a winter or Christmas photo.

Melody’s card # 1 is my favorite! But all are beautiful! I love the ornament cloche idea and the cards made using that!
ALL of these designs are absolutely beautiful, but Gail O’Neil’s wreath design (#7) is my favorite. The softness of the wreath together with the darling cardinal bird is stunning! Congrats to all of the designers. There’s something for everyone in this collection of designs. Thank you everyone for sharing your creations. What an inspiration!
